Is it super mega awesome with extra toppings of OMGLOLZ!!!!1111oneoneoneeleven with Cheese and Beardy cheese on top?

So good it deserved a post (or possibly thread?) of its own.
*applause*

I don't think I've ever laughed so hard at something quite that stupid before!

Ok 5 questions

First
Do vamps (old thralls) get to chose blood line powers and if so how many points, 50 for blood line 50 for items?

yes they can get some of the bloodline and magic items for max. of 50pt each.

Second
vamps upgrade tto lvl2 ? Vamp counts to level 3 it is 35 pts in most books.
[/quote]

yes, i say this with slight hesistation but on a glance the upgrade was around those points.

Third
What is the deal with weapons and armour? can they be taken without a blood line power? What about nonmagical items
[/quote]

Good question, i think i didn't see any weapons and armour to be taken normally, don't quote me that.
But the blood line armour is very cheap, if you take Avatar of Death then you'll still have 75-80pts to spend.

Fourth
Can the 0 spellbe cast again and again by the same caster?
[/quote]

Aparently so, yes i saw that necromancers (although Lv 1) can know IoN and know 2-3 other spells for 15pts each.
Also i think it not be just IoN that can be caste again and again by the same wizard, but all the others as well.

HOW DID YOU GET THE BOOK. I thought it wasnt comming out till the end of Febuary.

My local GW had got it early and were letting everyone see it.
 
Hey cylon master I think you missed my post (998) asking questions.

No need to be very specific, you could just answer in relation to the old book.

Here are some extra questions:

Are the rumours for the black coach true? Is it more expensive?

Are ranked up ghouls any interesting?

Do the wight kings have any difference from the old ones?

Thanx in advance:)
 
1. Black coach costs the same but it is beefed up.
2. Ghouls. Thats up to you. Do ranked up undead ghouls sound interesting to you?
3. Wight Kings. I believe they got T5 instead or was it S5? or... Well, check the rumours.

This is of coursed based upon rumours... but really, we will know in less than 2 weeks anyways :)
 
The Dark Lord Mr Fluffy said:
Are there any "kick in the nuts" special rules?
Oh, I don't know, something like zombies being Ws 1, or something similar... *crys because its probably true*
And what say you about the new special characters? Worth it? If you can't remember, thats fine. *polishes knife*

well there is the standard undead rules, a vampire lord only has the WS of a vampire count.

Now here is the very good part, the Special Characters.
1. Vlad very good spell caster, has all the courtly powers, is the only one to have 4+ ward save with the carstein ring, stats of a old vampire count but has +1 attack and Ld, is very nasty because he cannot be killed so easily, has blooddrinker cause a wound heals a wound.

2. Isabella weak but heals herself or other vampires with chalice, and if dies sends vlad mad with frenzy and possibly hatred. THat is what opponent would not like to happen.

3. Mannfred is ridicously power wizard, is lv4 and knows the complete vampire and death lores. Has all the Arcane bloodlines and not a bad fighter to boot as well, can choose two arcane items of your choice.

4. Konrad is very scary and very cheap, can do 30 wound if the right dice are rolled.

And here's the best part, they all all riducously cheap, i mean Vlad is the most expensive one but is 200pts cheaper than 6 Ed. Mannfred.
 
4. Konrad is very scary and very cheap, can do 30 wound if the right dice are rolled.

Bloody hell. All in all, it does seem these vampires are abit over the top. I couldnt bear fielding them in a friendly game... heh I even feel guilty doing so in a tournament.

Hey I was wondering after hearing from a source that Vampire Counts can't take Lore of Death is this true, or not thanks in advance.
Maxim.

Vampire Counts can take lore of death, and in some cases can learn any other lores EXCEPT Life.
 
VladtheLad said:
ok, as voltaire said we are missing the details

how true are the former rumors about wraiths?

do banshees affect immune to psycology thingys? do they need line of sight? range? stand and shoot?

invocation of nehek casting value?

I gotta go I'll ask more later

I not sure that banshees affect ITP, could do or could not.
Range is 6" or it could be widespread but i think the former.
Stand and shoot may apply.

Wraiths are 3 attacks, 2 wounds, and have great weapons. Cost 50 pts and are skirmishers ( i think)
 
Woa! thanx for the info people.

Cylon if there anything YOU would like to mention, sth that you liked or whatever...
Plz feel free to do so:grin:
 
Excellent i'm going to go through a points cost, if my memory serves me well i can properly do the points cost of each unit.
If you want this info and allow me to give it to you, say yes.
 
This is going to sound like a bit of a superfluous question but does anyone know if Mannfreds body comes attached to the great nightmare thing or whether it could be put on say, a zombie Dragon?

Remember, exact points costs ARE prohibited for reasons stated elsewhere.
 
I think it could be 3+, If noone can confirm it i'll say when I get my spearhead(should only be a couple of weeks). And vamps get 5 different mounts, skeletel steeds, nightmares, i think greater nightmares, abyssimal terrors(new name for a winged nightmare), and zombie dragons. I got that list yesterday when I was buying my winged nightmare

Hey guys, this is the same NecroNurgle that's been breaking the vampire book news over at warseer. I figured, as I'm going to be heavily investing in my new army, I should join the true undead forum.

Quick correction, vampires cannot take skeletal steed, only wightkings can.

Heh I forgot.
Could you say how high the casting value of Invocation of Nehek in relation to lets say raise dead is?

Its 3+ or 4+, but is lower than raise dead.

It is 4+ by default. Either of the three summoning powers give you a +1 on the roll as does the skull staff.
