Vampire Counts Rumours

[mannfred]

Can Vampires wear armour and still cast spells?

 

[The Dead of Night]

in 7th edition armour doesn't prevent casting at all.

The only thing that stops wizards from casting whilst wearing armour, is that they don't have armour as an equipment option.

So yes.

OK I looked at the new book durring a warhammer tourney this weekend. Saw several things.

Um lets focus on magic

1 curse of years; 8+ cast, go's off at the end of ALL magic phases and can be cast into combat. Still pretty nice.

2 Wind of death does affect ALL enemy units on the table, creates the spirit host within 12 ionches of the caster.

Vlad is nearly 500 pts

Konrad each turn will lose his mind it's only a matter of how, 50% he will be stupid, 50% chance he will go frenzied.

1 Grave guard are twice the cost of a current zombie

How much has the point cost increased?

 

[N.I.B]

Once again, quit asking about point costs. Please.

Nuts, I never really picked up on that,

racist!

 

[VladtheLad]

Well no need to tell the exact amound of points.
You can be creative, have the points increased by a fell bat?, a spirit host? a mortar?

 

[Synthesis]

Sadly that doesn't work either, creative methods of getting to point costs 'by a round-about manner' are also forbidden .... as proved a few doezen pages ago with the cost of things in chaos marauders.

Ya, Black Nights rock harder!!!

(typo on purpose)

What's the new Mannfred's like?

Are they better than the current version (is it posible to take both in the same army)?

 

[Disciple of Nagash]

What, take young & old Mannfred? I'm assuming not unless time travel has been invented in the Warhammer world, then again with the GW keep on messing with the fluff that wouldn't surprise me.

 

[Rafe]

Old Mannfred is nasty, he can be a real monster spell wise, and can dish out the hurt (as well as take it) in CC.

Young Mannfred is not too bad for a hero choice, although I don't think I'd use him personally.

 

[Masot]

if hes in the army book can i take him without opponents permission?

 

[Zephyr]

GW is really pushing the use of special characters these days and, or perhaps so, you are allowed to use them without permission. There are some tourney's that forbid them however so it's always useful to go through their rules.

 

[Zephyr]

You are allowed to take him without permission. GW has been promoting the use of special characters a lot lately. Mind that there are some tournaments that don't allow them as a special rule.

Whoa, serious threadomancy here! Considering this was thread was for rumours about a book that is now out this thread is kind of redundant....so this thread will now be locked.

If you have any other questions please post a new thread in the appropriate forum.
