Vampire Counts: Army Book Overview

[rothgar13]

It's the fact that crumble doesn't allow overruns anymore, which means that Zombie speedbumps work as intended, even without massive numbers.

 

[Vengeance Crusader]

Ah- OK, that's how me and my mates had played it anyway :grave: Ah well- seems legit now though Thanks!

 

[The Sun King]

Yeah also seemed pretty obvious to me that you couldn't overrun after crumble so the FAQ changed nothing in our gaming group

 

[the hidden one]

It hadn't actually happened to me, but now raise dead is my favorite spell besides IoN

 

[The Sun King]

Raise Dead is fantastic at getting Fanatics out of Night Goblin units as well

 

[Melle]

Hehe, ya me and my brother (vc and TK) wanted play Crumble like that, the 3rd in our group(skaven) didn't. we voted him down
he's happy now though, since slaves got it to...

Oh yeah! I think the Skaven got a better boost than we did! Slaves rock because they are so damn cheap and go BOOM when you bust them! Our zombies just melt.

 

[Johnny-Crass]

And Slaves are cheaper..... Stupid 7th edbook

 

[The Sun King]

Don't get me started on slaves... them and marauders are so badly priced that it makes my insides cringe.

 

[Adam_Barrow]

Marauders, man. I could post a book about those jerks.

 

[The Sun King]

Amen to that brother

 

[rothgar13]

As a Beastmen player first and foremost, my experience toward Marauders is biased in the other direction - Gors are one of the handful of units that beat them up, point for point. Still, I'd wager if you threw a ton of Ghouls at them you'd get similar results.

 

[Elbisrever]

Aye, Marauders don't have much armor right?

 

[The Sun King]

That is true... Ghouls eat Marauders(not only considering the fluff ) but they are also twice the price and not S5

 

[Adam_Barrow]

And armor/ward saves. My regular WoC opponent fields two hordes. Hell of a shock infantry, and a steal at the price.

 

[The Dread King]

Johnny, what happened? Don't tell me you've left the list building to rot or put it on hold.

 

[Johnny-Crass]

Doh I forget things all the time. Hmm will work on this

 

[Disciple of Nagash]

Just read through this.....I have been out of the game for too long. I may have to have a side chat with you Johnny so you can bring me upto date.

 

[The Dread King]

Doh I forget things all the time. Hmm will work on this

You were saying?

 

[the hidden one]

Hmmmm...a side chat with DoN.
Well, nice knowin you johnny

 

[The Dread King]

...forgotten again, Johnny?

 

[Questioner]

Hmmmm...a side chat with DoN.
Well, nice knowin you johnny

Yes.... Goodbye Johnny.

You shall be missed.

 

[John Rainbow]

Just starting up vamps and read this. Great intro. Thanks.

 

[HERO]

I think the only thing I disagree with here is the underappreciation of Supernatural Horror.

While a Cairn Wraith is a cheap way to insert Terror into a walking unit that includes a body, damage and character, it does nothing for cavalry units. When Ogres were super huge in the meta, I continued to run my cav bus with Lord w/ Fear Incarnate, Vampire with Supernatural Horror and Dark Majesty, and a Screaming Banner in the unit.

You cause Fear? No problem, I cause Terror, take a Fear check with -1Ld, no BSB re-rolls, roll 3 discard the lowest. It's pretty useful depending on your meta.

 

[The Sun King]

And then you've spent all your points on giving Ogres WS1... not a very good investment considering their abhorrent WS to begin with.
