Hey all,
I haven't played a game of fantasy since 4th/5th ed back in the day, but I've recently got back into it with 8th ed and my discovery of mantic's Undead range (with a few reaper minis for characters). Anyhow, I'd really appreciate any feedback/ideas on the list.
LORDS
Vampire Lord
Lvl 3(4), Lore of Vampires
Crown of the Damned,
Helm of Commandment,
Flayed Hauberk,
Forbidden Lore,
Dark Acolyte
Biting Blade
HEROS
Vampire
Master of the Black Arts,
Cadaverous Cuirass,
Book of Arkhan
Necromancer
+2 spells,
Black Periapt
Necromancer
+2 spells,
Sceptre de Noirot
Wight King
BSB,
Drakenhoff Banner
Wight King
Sword of Kings
CORE
40 Ghouls
ghast
40 skeletons
Full Command,
Banner of Hellfire
60 zombies
2 Corpse Carts
unholy loadstones
SPECIAL
40 Grave Guard
Full Command
Banner of the Barrows
RARE
Varghulf
Tactics: The Lord goes with the skeletons in the back, using the helm to up WS of other units. The front two hordes will be the grave guard with the fighty wight king and a necromancer, and the ghoul unit with the BSB giving them regen and another necromancer, plus the other vampire. The zombies will just be used in a 5x12 tarpit/wall formation to protect a flank. The carts and the Varghulf should provide some mobility and assist where necessary. Based on all the magic upgrades (Black Periapt, Master of the black arts, 4 wizards, etc...) I should have enough dice each round even before I have to roll for winds of magic to do alright in the magic phase, and keep my numbers up while the two deathstars do their work. Ideally, all the units will stay together in a heavy-hitting, self-regenerating box on one side of the board.
Thanks in advance for any advice/suggestions/comments.
