Sunny's challenge

[Hanblack Nagash]

Hows my challenge coming?

 

[The Sun King]

Buried in my exams I'm afraid

 

[Hanblack Nagash]

I can wait. A vamp has time on his hands lol

 

[The Sun King]

Glad to hear it Georgie-boy.

 

[Tawg]

Ah, oh well, I guess it's mostly for situational tricks that might be advantageous.. more like a gimmick or slight trick in the army rather than a focus for it :ghost:

 

[The Sun King]

I just invented a little trick that I thought I would share with you guys: https://www.vampirecounts.net/Thread-A-tip-regarding-Purple-Sun

 

[The Sun King]

On another unrelated note I got promoted to Moderator in case no one had noticed Of course this makes me a very proud and happy panda!

 

[Johnny-Crass]

Yeah welcome to the fold buddy! Maybe this thread will gain 100 pages like Dear Johnny erv:

 

[The Sun King]

You just had to brag hadn't you? :tongue:

And thanks buddy, hopefully you, me and Sen can do some great work around here.

 

[Bullhax]

I have one!

3k against WoC that will include archeon and no hellcannons!

Limits/must includes: 100+ zeds for core, balefire CC, minimum 2 units of hexwraiths.

 

[Vipoid]

On another unrelated note I got promoted to Moderator in case no one had noticed Of course this makes me a very proud and happy panda!

Congratulations.

Please enjoy some music to celebrate your promotion.

 

[The Sun King]

@ Vipoid: Thanks - love the Vampish music!
@ Bullhax: Sounds like 4 TG's to me

 

[Bullhax]

Haha.. A list where my friend doesn't flail out his own eyes in anger/despair when seeing the list (I've won 9/10 games against him with both my VC and my OK)

 

[The Sun King]

So I'm not supposed to make the best list I can? What a strange challenge this is Then if the goal isn't competiveness I think you should put up some more parameters

 

[Bullhax]

No no I think you missunderstand, it needs to be "sneaky" good I hate losing 4 TGs would be too much, 1 and two ME's would be ok, he hates/fears the TG.. But if often roll boxcars with it on a unit of knights or Skullcrushers or his DP he takes once in a while.

He will have archaeon, no cannons, a unit of 3 Skullcrushers, the knights archaeon tax, he brings 10 I think. Warriors for core with khorne often two units one fielded with Festus..

We proxy a lot so feel free to get creative I just need some input as we have fought so many times and I end up bringing the same thing every time!

 

[The Sun King]

Does he field a level 4?

 

[Bullhax]

Does he field a level 4?

He can't, archaeon costs an arm and a leg and fills up his lord slot all on his own. He is a level 2 wizard but has +1 to cast and knows one more spell than normally, so his magic is crap.

 

[The Sun King]

Why does he insist on Archaeon? Seems to me that that's the reason why he loses 9 out of 10.

 

[Bullhax]

He's just started using him (once or twice) as he just got the model Before he's used disc lvl 4 tzeentch or death nurgle DP.

 

[The Sun King]

I'll wager he'll turn back to his old setup

 

[The Sun King]

Okay so I finally finished all my exams, and can now call myself a Bachelor in the Study of Religion. Can't wait to start my master in History. So I've got some much needed time in to do some of all these challenges that I've left hanging(sorry guys).

Abhorash's Deathstar

Haven't done the math but backed up by two mortis engines I feel that the GG deathstar with the VL could put some serious hurt on a Chosen Star


Xander's 3 TG's

So the idea is that you throw 4 Wraiths and your Necros into the Skellie Train. That way the Necros can safely chill in the second rank. I've given them Scroll of Shielding and Staff of Sorcery to make up for the loss of a level 4... and I actually think this setup will work really well. The HW are there to take out MC and the like so that your TG's can focus on big scary units or sumfin'.

So the idea was fairly simple: Outgun him with Manny. The problem is that Manny has no saves, so I threw in 3 ME's just for good measure. Also HW rip Chaos Knights apart(when they ride through them). Also with Doom and Darkness and 5 screams you should be okay in that department as well. You lack real fighting choices but no need to try to win the battle on WoC's strong points(melee).

 

[Nightreaver]

May I ask why doomwolves? Getting one more body and the same number of attacks would be cheaper by getting one more regular wolf...

Also, since it has to be challenge and you said it doesn't work with VC, I dare you to make an MSU list that wouldn't fold instantly

 

[The Sun King]

Hi Nightreaver - yeah I kind of asked for that - nice challenge

The reason why I use doom wolves is that they can issue challenges to greater daemons and such, you can also deploy them in a conga line if you're being cheeky

 

[Nightreaver]

Hmmm... Never thought that war beasts could issue challenges.

And because MSU definitions differ across the realms, let me be more specific: no cavalry unit bigger than 7 models and no infantry unit with more than 15. This should prove hard enough :devil2:

 

[The Sun King]

Nightreavers MSU list
Okay this list is probably the weirdest list I've ever made, but here goes:

LORD
Heinrich Kemmler

HERO
Necromancer: Dispel Scroll

CORE
15 Skeleton Warriors: FC, Banner of Swiftness
15 Skeleton Warriors: FC
15 Skeleton Warriors: FC
14 Skeleton Warriors: FC
5 Dire Wolves: Doom Wolf

SPECIAL
6 Vargheists: Vargoyle
6 Vargheists: Vargoyle
6 Vargheists: Vargoyle
7 Hexwraiths: Champ

RARE
Varghulf
Varghulf
Total Army Points: 2498pts

Okay so the idea is to fly Kemmler around using his Master of the Dead to get the Skels to 30 each while the DW keep the enemies occupied. All this is a smoke screen for the hardhitting Vargs, Varghulfs and HW which should outmaneuver the enemy easily. Could be a real fun list to play, a shame that no one will Also there is 15 drops in total in this army so outdeploying the enemy should be easy as well.
