i have gotta say i dont think 3 fells is worth it ... they maybe could take out an empire gun line maybe.. but they really arnt enough 4 is min i think

I think 3 is the bare minimum for fell bats. They're not really designed to take on handgunner units on their own, but will do the job against war machines quite well.

And Araith, I think your original list was fine, but the newly revised one has a lot more magical flexibility though, and 2 units of ghouls is enough IMO. I like it... I think it's done! (Y)

The thing with fellbats is they tend to wiff there attacks and because there unit strength 1, that means war machine crews will generally sit and fight, as opposed to 4 which would make them run from a failed fear test. IMO fellbats are fragile and need help (in my first tounrament with VC, I had 4 fell bats loose a combat to empire warmachine crew..so im a bit bitter about them). Not to mention for the points you could do better. I would say summon ghouls would be better for warmachine hunting.

[Grimbog Elf Ater]

4+ is ideal, but 3 are a solid start, simply because if you kill one crew member with no return wounds, you'd outnumber and they would be broken by a fear causing enemy in CC. Fell bats are also great for march blocking the an opponent's infantry lines when they're not war machine hunting, their fly move allows them to move where they're really needed most.

Mmm, I could drop the Black Periapt for a 4th Bat. I'm not that fond of saving dice for later use anyway, though I admit it can be useful.

I'd have 6 points left for ... ... 1 extra Zombie! That would really save my day. :shifty:

IMO it's a shame Zombies can't get champions. It would be great for accepting challenges against the Thrall.
But then, the thought of a challenging Zombie ... :mellow:
