This army can make 2 units a turn make terror checks at -4 leadership, or 4 at -2 if the guys are spread out...... or 6 at -2 if the varghulfs can get up with the flying vampires. The fellbats job is to get behind the units taking terror checks so that they have nowhere to run and are destroyed

You should check the wording, but I think Aura of Dark Majesty doesn't stack. Also, Fell Bats are US 1 so you need a unit of 5 to destroy due to cross fire. Still looks mean, though.

Also, I'm surprised army builder even let you make a list without the Helm of Command on your casty vamp Lord. I thought there was some sort of rule, esp. with Zombies in the mix.

last sentance of the aura of dark majesty "(Cumulative with an other modifiers)". Each vampire has its own modifier, so they stack.

where's it say the US for the fell bats? I thought it was 2 due to the fact that they had 2 wounds, but I could be wrong.

All flying units have US 1 unless they are flying cavalry or monsters.

Ozymandias, King of Kings

Don't have the book handy on me but I thought the wording of Aura of Dark Majesty went along the lines of:

"If within X inches of one or more Vampires with this power..."

If that's the case, they don't stack.

also is this a torney army because then your vamps will die pretty quickly from dwarf, elf, empire, tomb king, other vc armies because they have all got good shooting to take down the vampires and vargulf's then all they have to do is wait for those zombies, fell bats and black knights to crumble into dust! which is not a good thing in a tornament espcially gt

Um, "other vc armies" don't have good shooting.

There isn't a missile weapon option for anything in the new VC army book, with the possible exception of the 8" range scream of the banshee. There are two bound spell items that have a magic missle effect. I think the spell list has a magic missle, but can't remember off the top of my head. Other than that, there are no bows, crossbows, guns, bolt throwers, etc. available at all in the VC book.

i mean other undead armies as in thy are immune to phyc
