Ok-will play friendly versus Ork/Goblin, OR Lizardmen...
So-this is what i was thinking...
Count will go with graveguard...
Thrall with blackknights...
Power familiar is in case he uses Slan mage-priest..
Maybe ditch spirit host for banshee because Howl is not affected with their extra dice...

Looks good, but I would drop the spirit host.

Wether or not a banshee would help, who knows?

I'd take another Fell bat at the least.

 

[Stavrogin]

Well...i didnt think about that...
Rather been thinking of adding one more spirit host and removing some sceletons, because-i dont have more fell bat models, and i need something etheral because of Goblin Fanatics\Giant\teradon...
Any other changes suggested?

 

[Lordofsouls]

If you can't field 5 or 6(Fellbats) it might be better to drop them and funnel the points to the spirit host.

Remember the magic number is 5!(US5 means you negate ranks, flyers need 5 models for that to happen at US1).

I any case I don't think a spirit host or 4 fellbats will help much. Both units are too small.

Banshee big help against Goblins, I haven't gotten much use from them against Lizardmen though.

Most Lizardmen I see do take a Mage Priest. One of the best reasons to play Lizardmen is Mr. Toad.

 

[Stavrogin]

Thnx-i totaly forgot about US...
Will get 1 more fell bat soon enough...
Banshee is good vc lizards because most lizard units have really low Ld-yes, they can roll aditional dice, but that doesn't matters-ghostly howl does not require rolling Ld...
So especially easy targets for banshee are Terradons and Skinks with their Ld 5...
And best of all-ghosly howl does not require LOS-so u can target them behind trees, impasable terain, other units-of course if they are close enough...:?

 

[Stavrogin]

Ok-we played smaller game (4x1000pts team-VC & O&G versus Empire & Lizardmen) and i end up pretty well...
Banshee succeded in killing 1 terradon making them fail panic test and run off the table, while again, against kroxigor she managed to create 4 wounds that make them lot easier to kill...however-i dont belive that oponent will repeat the same mistake twice...
Yes-my new list...
Been thinking of removing Banshee, 1 Grave Guard and Ghouls and adding 5 black knights, or removing 1 graveguard,sword of kings & enchanted shield and giving cursed book to wight...any advices?
