Vamp - flying, sceptre de zombies, helm of command, (ghoulkin on somebody not necessarily this guy)

March up Turn 0, fly out Turn 1 to wherever you want to be and raise loads of zeds and danse danse danse them in where you want them, at which point you give them WS7 or whatever. Enormous range to have deadheads on whatever warmachines, unit rears, etc that you want. Combine with -1 Ld for the ultra-kill.

Just a thought.

One question though, me and some buddies were looking at the VC book and noticed to take armor the vamp had to buy the power to get some. In the fantasy rules it says that a hero/lord needs to be able to take the mundane version of something to take the magic equivalent. So that means that a vamp has to be able to take mundane armor to take and magic armor. meaning he has to buy that vamp power giving him armor to then buy a suit of magic armor, which replaces the mundane stuff. At least that's how we took it. What do you all think about that? Agree disagree? because i'd like to straighten it out before i start playing all the new VC players]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/208699/257107.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/208699/257107.page GMT Ghoul King/strigoi list
First in order to take magic armor you have to have the option to take the mundane equivalent, you don't have to actually take it. Blood powers are an option so vampires can therefore take magical armor without spending points on the blood power.

Second, and more importantly, in the section which lists magical armor it specifically states all vampires may take magical armor.

Swoop!]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/208699/257113.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/208699/257113.page GMT Ghoul King/strigoi list http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/208699/257190.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/208699/257190.page GMT Ghoul King/strigoi list http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/208699/257198.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/208699/257198.page GMT Ghoul King/strigoi list

I'm working on this part. It will either be with modeling, like remnants of old armor, or as Bastirous666 said "strangely tough skin, due to his magic powers"

On the contrary, i would drop the unholy lodestone for balefire and keep the cart, in fact, add two more if you have the points. They may not be that good, but when you have 3 with balefire, it really makes a difference, especially if the necro on top of it has the nightshroud.

makes the cart always ALWAYS strike first :-D]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/208699/259429.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/208699/259429.page GMT Ghoul King/strigoi list http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/208699/264869.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/208699/264869.page GMT Ghoul King/strigoi list
Why the cadaverous cuirass on the dark acolyte?
Why all the summon ghouls? 1 vamp with it can hang back and repeatedly cast it on 1 dice at 3+.

A more fighty vampire can help you with CR. A Terror one makes you psych more potent. Walking Death and or BSB would give some static CR. Why not take lv 3 on the lord? It's like another vampiric power!

Corpse carts with necros are not slow- they can join units. Such as ghouls that get a free move.

Some Black Knights would be really nice. They have great speed over terrain and some solid hitting power. The problem with zombies this time around is that the low S and T mean they often give up lots of CR. Not a big deal with weapons crews, but anything else....]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/208699/265195.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/208699/265195.page GMT
