Here is the list I submitted for Runefang which is in a couple weeks.
As previously posted its a variation of the list I played with in the Dark Valley campaign.
Without the BK bus this is a list I am very comfortable playing with. Having used variations of the infantry list since the current VC book was out this is what it boils down too for me.
Ghoul King, Red Fury, Ogre Blade, Other Trickster's Shard, Dragon Bane Gem
Master Necromancer, Level 4 Death
Necromancer, Level 1 Vampires, Dispel Scroll, Ruby Ring of Ruin
Cairn Wraith

3 Vargheists with champ
8 Crypt Horrors
2 Fell Bats

I think I have learnt to use the chaff well through many many games and the advice of others. Good application of the Dire wolves and Fell bats keep making it a more effective force.
I am very happy to have the 8 Crypt Horrors back. They give the skeleton block which my Ghoul King leads a massive amount of support and the potential to tarpit some hard units is fantastic - right Wil ;)
The skeletons are a better investment than the ghouls for my build. Having the simple ability to swift reform and a simple banner does make a big difference.
Still have to be in the zone to win big with this but as usual it does depend on the opponent - put me up against Warriors of Chaos anyday
Looking forward to seeing all the usual suspects down in Wellington in 2 weeks
Really like your lists Glen, good to see something other than BK buses. Look forward to catching up. We should get a game in sometime before Runefang.
ReplyDeleteWhere you tempted at all to add more screams into the list or where they comped out?
ReplyDeleteBeen there done that Tim. While the banshees are good on paper the Wraiths are better for their points and combat ability.
DeleteI have had many games where an average scream roll with the banshees has done sweet FA.
The Terrorgheists do take a lot of fire and attention but thats to be expected and against some armies/units the bigger screams are amazing.
Looks tough to face a lot of chaff that will tie your opponent down and soak up any shooting while the tougher choices sneak up and do the damage.
ReplyDeleteNot sure how my Dwarf list would counter it.
