Yet another list, this time GHOULS

[Rasmus]

I have been toying with the idea about making a list based around ghouls and the old flying circus list. So here it is.

Vampire lord, lvl 3 450
Flying horror, ghoulkin, avatar of death (HW and shield)
Walachs bloody hauberk, sword of might, book of arkhan

This guy is pretty well protected with 2+ as and a 5+wardsave, ghoulkin with the march move I can have this army charging in turn 1. The book is always handy and there to help beefing the magicphase.


Vampire, Avatar of death(GW), Infinite hatred 195
Flayed hauberk, talisman of lycni, black pirapt

He can kill hard units like knights and chariots. He is well protected, and can help my magic defence and offence with the pirapt.


Vampire, Flying horror, avatar of death (HW and Shield) 190
Enchanted shield, dispel scroll

He is well protected and can attack with the others to deal out some pain


Vampire, Flying horror, summon ghouls, armour of the night, sword of battle 185

He can hunt warmachines, small groups of flankers, mages and that stuff.

Core:
20 x Ghouls, ghast 168
20 x Ghouls, ghast 168
20 x Ghouls, ghast 168

Special:
3 x Fellbats 60
3 x Fellbats 60

Rare:
Varghulf 175
Varghulf 175

The idea is to cross the board as quick as possible. The ghouls are a solid core. The bats help out my heroes early on. The varghulf can keep the army marching and add some serious puch. They can also act as flankers.

Well please comment and come with improvements. Im not sure I have designed my heroes optimally. Hope you can help. Thanx

I dont think ghouls count twords core units

 

[Rasmus]

They do, thats what make them great. Direwolfs, batswarm and corpsecarts dont.

Well any reply or is the list just perfect?

I think if you plan to have your guys alone and unsupported, you should have one with the Wristbands of black gold. 3+ WS vs shooting is ace.

I'd also debate taking off flying horror from your lord and throwing him on a Hellsteed. Flayed Hauberk + Mount = 2+ AS and 3+ WS vs shooting.

Give him balefire spike, infinite hatred, red fury, Wristbands of black gold, Flayed Hauberk and anything else that suits your fancy. If you wanted to keep your flayed hauberk on your other character, get the Avatar of Death power. It'd still give you a 3+ AS, and you could take on NightShroud if you were playing HE (it'd give you a 4+ AS though...). That'd surprise the heck out of them when your general charges a unit of 10 sword masters and kills 6 or 7 of em.

That's what I'd do anyways. You'd have to switch ghoulkin onto another vampire though. Would give him a ton more hitting power. Downside is, is that you wouldn't get the premarch move and wouldn't have a unit's protection, ever.
