2k MUS friendly list

[willadams33]

Okay, this is my first try at a 2k VC list:

Vampire Lord – Dark Acolyte, Master of the Black Arts, Lord of the Dead, Crown of the Damned – 335

Vampire – Dark Acolyte, Lord of the Dead, Book of Arkhan – 180

Vampire – Dark Acolyte, Summon Creatures of the Night – 145

Wight King – Sword of Kings, Barded Skeletal Steed – 120

10 Skeletons – Hand Weapon, Light Armour and Shield, Full Command – 100

10 Skeletons – Hand Weapon, Light Armour and Shield, Full Command – 100

10 Ghouls

5 Dire Wolves

Corpse Cart – Balefire – 100

Corpse Cart – Balefire – 100

14 Grave Guard – Great Weapons, Full Command, Banner of the Dead Legion – 237

3 Fell Bats

5 Black Knights – Barding, Full Command, Banner of the Barrows - 225

Varghulf

1997


SO the idea is to start the unts of skeles small to save both points and victory points and then raise them up using invocation of nehek from the vampires with 'lord of the dead' special rule. A similar idea for the units of fell bats and wolves.

I really want another Vargulf and to push the Grave guard up to a unit of 20 but I don't see where I can get the points. Comment and criticism would be greatly recieved.

Many Thanks,

Will Adams

I like it. I would perhaps try and fit more Black Knights into the unit, maybe try for 9 + wight or 11+ wight. I would do that just to ensure the opponent wouldnt have the chance to totally remove the unit in 1 shooting turn, something an organ gun or something similar could possible do to only 5 knights and a character. Although with their Ethereal rule you could deploy them behind terrain on the first turn. Hmm... the more I think about it the more Black Knights appeal to me!

I think the Grave Guard are fine, with that set up they should be a flanking unit as they wont hold their own in a straight up combat. Even with double unit strength they are only getting 1 rank bonus.

I would perhaps change who wears Crown of the Damned, the lord might be best in the front of a skele block fighting rather than behind a unit. Even with a Vampires WS6 the unit you use Crown on will be hitting most things on 3s or 2s if its Wights with Banner of the Barrows such as your knights. That would free your Lord for front rank fighting in a skele block perhaps, best place for him is butchering rank and file so they cant kill weak skeles for easy combat res points.

I think you are thinking the Helm of Commandment. The Crown of the Damned is a 4+ ward save but subject to stupidity. I would love a helm of Commandment on one of the normal vapires though.

I was thinking of maybe removing one of the vampires and useing the points to beef up the Black Knights unit and getting a helm of commandment, what you think?

Yeah sorry my mistake! Getting mixed up.

Yeah I think thats a great idea, as I mentioned WS6 on the black knights then banner of the barrows means hitting on 2s for the most part and with lances on the charge wounding on 2s more than likely.
