Thanks!

I went in to the game thinking it was bad, but I was wrong..oh so wrong.

It's an unholy abomination that needs to be burned with fire.

As a new players to fantasy we didn't have a clue what would make for balanced lists. So we just whatever models we had lying around.

Daemons vs Vampire counts.

Daemons :

1 unit of blood letters with standard bearer and champ about 10 guys.
1 daemon prince of khorne
1 herald of khorne
1 skulltaker ( 1 since it seems you can have multiple of the same hero)
and 1 unit of 3 blood crushers.

Vampires:
3 units of 40 zombies
1 corpse cart,
2 necromancers
and 2 untis of 10 skellies.

We thought the zombies might be a bit much, but then they're only measly zombies.

Turns out it didn't matter as 1 unit of 40 zombies almost singlehandedly destroyed his entire army. Hitting on 2+ and wounding on 3 because of the size and corpsecart. I didn't even buff them with a shield or vanhels danse. That unit probably didn't even loose any models due to the immortal standard bearer, since you allocate wounds any way you want, its all but impossible to get rid of it.

And then later just for gaks n giggles I summoned a friggin terrorgheist and another unit of 20 zombies. Neither of which did anything (they just stood there). I did manage to snipe skulltaker with 2 arcane bolts though.
The skellies did nothing, except for locking his entire army in combat due to having shields and mystic shield and the basic command trait. I suppose he could have chosen to flee but still. That 3 inch bubble where you cant move is pretty large.

And this is despite him spawning 2 more blood crushers from battleshock like 3 times. Skull taker was causing some trouble with quite a few mortal wounds and me not doing anything to him....until I decided to snipe him. Which easily outright killed him. That arcane bolt puts a vindicare to shame big time.

Even with premade scenarios (which would be pretty boring to me as you didn't build an army at all.), it would still feel really really wrong to have things like a shambling mass of zombies, be way more dangerous than a daemon prince...by a long shot. a simple danse macabre and they would putting out some 40 attacks with just the first two ranks ...all on 2 +/3+......
