@Bull: Get to Copenhagen and play with me damnit! - then you can look at my models (that isn't half as well painted as yours) :D
Yeah Lore of Slaanesh looks really good, and also Shadow is boring and overrated. If I ran a Slaanesh DoC I would probably take Shadow for Mindrazorzzzz on Daemonettes :suck:

Hehe.! I will, I do have to finish my exam in January first.! I'll contact you on Facebook after the exam and we'll find a day where we can play a game or two.! How far are you in your league games, are you still waiting to play the ogre-player? If not then give me his list and we can practice the Mach up if your interested ;)?

Oh very true, I could imagine that would be a very good matchup.!
 
Hi i'm new to this forum, but not to WHFB. Started with VC like 7 months ago and need some help. I'm going to a tournament this weekend and i don't now what to field for 2000 pts. (no special characters)
I've got:

SGK
2 Vampires (mounted)
3 Necs (on foot)
3 Banshees
1 WK (on foot)
1 Cairn Wraith
50 ghouls
62 skellies
10 wolfs
10 Black Knights
6 CH
6 SH
2 Varghulfs
1 Terror

Best regards!
 
@Bull: Looking forward to playing with you champ, and good luck with the exams. I think the league is done. I got 1st place in the league (regarding points) and then we had to finish in a knock-out tournament for the top 4 players. I played the fourth place and won, so I got to the finals - but the other guys kind of lost the will to play so I don't think the league will 'officially' finish, which is a shame because I'm quite sure I would win. But hell, I see myself as the winner until someone steps up and tries to take the crown from me.

@pixelsked: Welcome to the forum! With the models you have I would recommend going for a small BK bus list with a level 3 Blender in the 10 BK backed up by a terrorgheist and a varghulf.
 
@Hellwraith: Okay so here is your Strigoi list. I actually really like it, I think it's fairly strong and has a consistent Strigoi Theme - let me know how it fares! :D

Hey Sunny!

I just joined this forum but I've been following it for a while, could you advice me on a 2K competitive list for a tournie?

I have these models:
- 1x Wight King
- 1x (Master) Necromancer
- 10x Crypt Ghouls
- 20x Skelletons Warriors
- 10x Grave Guard
- 5x Black Knights

I've been thinking on buying another box of 10 Grave Guards and another of Crypt Ghouls at least but I don't know if try a Vampire BK Bus or put him in the GG unit or even don't field him at all and play with magic focused army. What do you think? I want to buy whatever is more competitive :D

Btw, I know I will face Ogre Kingdoms, Dark Elves, Lizardmen, Beastmen and Dwarves.
 
Welcome to the forum Kromul!

One of the most competetive lists VC has is the BK Bus, but it is also rather set in stone(and not that good at 2k). It's really up to you what you want? GG is a fine unit but generally regarded as a sub par choice compared to other Special choices. Ghouls only work if you get 40+ in a unit. Same goes for GG.

You could go Dual Engine and GG horde at 2k. That would be pretty competetive I should think. I would aim for something like:

LORD
Master Necromancer: Earthing Rod, Talisman of Preservation, Level 4 Wizard LoV

HERO
Necromancer: Dispel Scroll, Level 1 LoV

CORE
40 Crypt Ghouls: Ghast
30 Zombies: Banner

SPECIAL
40 Grave Guard: FC, Great Weapons, Banner of the Barrows
Spirit Host

RARE
Mortis Engine

Cool thank you Sunny! :D
I only have a doubt, with mortis engine and earthing rod what happens if I get a miscast? I roll twice on the table because of mortis, my enemy choose which one I get, and then I roll again if I want to use the rod or what? :S
 
I totally spaced saying thank you for the rep.! So: thank you, it always means a lot, especially coming from someone you respect greatly!

As your tournament is dead, I will take my ogres to your face, will bring my not that competitive 2,5k list, you have 2 month to prepare so you better slaughter me xD how many armies do you have anyway?
 
Hello Sunny.

Well as you May remember I am new to this forum and just started VC. I have this crazy idea that I want a skellie army. That means no vampires, ghouls, zombies or other such things. So in short lots of bones and well wolves are ok too. I have starred myself blind on listmaking, so I could need a fresh look on things :)

What i have at the moment
20 Skeleton Warriors.
10 Grave Guard.
5 Black Knights.
1 Cairn Wraith.
1 Necromancer.
1 Wight King (on Foot)
And Krell.

I am aiming for 1500 points but before I go crazy and make a lot of purchases I Want to get an idea of what to get. And before you all start your ranting about how It is not a strong army and bla bla.. Yes i know all that :) I just Want and army that is quite fun for me to play and not atleast paint. And hell I like the idea about this barrow king thing :)

Just a little note. The armies I will play against the most will be night Goblins, savage orcs, lizardmen, warriors of chaos, High elves and tomb kings. As you can probably guess the peolpe I play with really likes themed armies.

Well sorry about my Wall of text. I will just stop my ranting now :)
 
@Bull: Actually (as you can see in our facebook group) the League has come alive - the other semifinal is being played tomorrow night - It'll be interesting what I have to face in the final: Ogres or Skaven... I hope Skaven but I count on Ogres winning.
Not sure I deserve your respect, but thank you champ! Can't wait to face your mighty Ogres. I have 3 finished armies; my old and ugly Bretonnians (can't wait for a new book), my Lizardmen and of course my veteran VC :) Of course I'll play with the VC against you, anything other would be blasphemy. Maybe we should do a batrep for this lovely forum now that we are both active here?

@Aran: Yeah welcome to the forum dude! It's perfectly fine to want a themed list, not everybody play this game with the sole purpose of crushing other men's egos :) Actually the Barrow King Theme was what I went with myself when I picked up VC for 8th edition. It can work, but it's alternative.
1. I recommend 40 GG with GW and Banner of the Barrows... these should be your centerpiece unit. They are great by themselves but even better if you bring Dual Engines and Necros that raise them as they take hits.
2. I wouldn't recommend BK as you don't field Vamps. Make them Hexies instead. 2 units of 10 shoud be pretty fearsome.
3. Don't use Krell, he is a waste of points (way too expensive) just use him as a normal WK. Some ideas for WK builds:
a. Armor of Fortune and Greatweapon.
b. Fencers Blades and Dragon Helm.
c. Enchanted Shield and Talisman of Preservation.
4. Get 4 Wraiths and put them in the front rank of Skeleton unit that is 5 wide. That way the enemy can only hit your Champion (which you raise the next magic phase).
5. In a Skeleton list I would actually consider Kemmler, he has some interesting things, and is quite cheap.

That's it for now - but ask away! :D
