WHFB in quite a while but I have come to see that its called the "HeroHammer" era now it seems. Those were some good times. What was your favorite 5th edition memory?

Mine was one of the cheesiest things I have ever done. 2000 point Khorne Demon army v/s lizardmen. First turn BT and Chaos Dragon flew high. Second turn came down, Killed the Fat Frog priest with the BT and off the table the rest ran from the Chaos dragon.

I know its terrible but those were some fun times.

Yeah, Spells were on cards(each kind of magic had its own deck), Power/dispells/etc. was a separate shared deck. You shuffled and randomly drew cards to assign spells to wizards(so no armies had duplicates of the spells in them unless you were playing with a LoC) and spells were kept secret from your opponent until used.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/224188/470465.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/224188/470465.page GMT Re:Fondest WHFB 5th Edition memories? http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/224188/470488.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/224188/470488.page GMT Fondest WHFB 5th Edition memories? D6 Wounds hit anyone(or some similarly obscene number)? I vapourised a Bloodthirster and Daemon Prince once with that. Top it off with a Carnstein Ring. HE COMES BACK TO DO IT AGAIN!

I also loved the days when Vampire Lords were only 210 points naked, and had even better stats than their 6th edition counterparts (though crappier abilities)

Oh, and pumpwagons doing 2D6 S7 hits upon impact! Suck it BT!!!

Oh, and the ability to take allies. Orc army with a Keepeer of secrets? Yes please! ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/224188/470777.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/224188/470777.page GMT Fondest WHFB 5th Edition memories?
Also, trying to figure out how to make that same Chaos army utterly borken.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/224188/470788.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/224188/470788.page GMT Re:Fondest WHFB 5th Edition memories? http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/224188/471092.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/224188/471092.page GMT Re:Fondest WHFB 5th Edition memories?
Slann Lord with the Hyrda Sword. Slann had 8 attacks and the sword multiplied each hit into d6.

I think it was the Book of Secrets that would allow you to cast a spell with Total Power for d6 stat points so you'd have the Vampire hiding in the woods with m1, ws1, bs1, s1, i1, ld1 at the end of the game.

Bretonians allowed to have 75% of their army be characters.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/224188/471904.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/224188/471904.page GMT Fondest WHFB 5th Edition memories?
Vampire Lord, Blade of Leaping Gold, Carstein Ring, Black Amulet AND the Heart of Woe + Full nonmagical kit. But true, you could practically swap the BOLG, Hydra Sword and Frostblade around depending on what you wanted/needed to kill.

Oh yeah, and whatever the Vamp Lord doesn't kill in close combat, he can obliterate with Hand of Dust during the Magic Phase.

Also the old uber Curse of the Years, which got more powerful the longer it was left on.

Who can forget the Black Amulet, practically a uniform for all characters. 4+ ward save FTW.

^^^Just saw your reply Lion.
There was another variant of the Slann someone I knew cooked up. The "Super Slann". 2nd generation with BOLG/Hydra Sword, Black Amulet and a couple of other bits and pieces. Hide the whole assembly in a unit of Temple Guard and just charge forward. The Slann regenerated wounds, hit like a ton of bricks in combat and did a lot of other nastiness besides (I forget what now, but it was pretty bad).

I think I remember the Book of Secrets. I believe I used it to chain-cast Curse of the Years until my entire opponent's army in range of the Necromancer died. I love the days when Necromancy was the one discipline you could cast spells repetitively...

Back then, Vampire's were not immune to psychology (this was Warhammer Armies Undead, not Vampire Counts!). And promptly legs it off the table. Entire Undead army crumbles, I win in turn 2.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/224188/471922.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/224188/471922.page GMT
