I was thinking of

Vampire Lord 205
Red Fury, Infinite Hatred 75
Walach's Bloody Hauberk, Blood Drinker, Enchanted Shield 100
Zombie Dragon 275
Total = 655

Adding to my already 2250 points (still slightly in the works) I have enough to add another squad of ghouls with a ghast. The rest of the list would be very magic focused and I think at 3000 pts it will be a big target for everything so I can let the rest of the army do it's thing without being rushed down. Should I increase the Vamp lord's magic level for 50 pts just for the extra dispel dice and the few extra PD he could use to cast IoN?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/239407/706973.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/239407/706973.page GMT Zombie Dragons http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/239407/707240.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/239407/707240.page GMT Zombie Dragons

I had a talk with some people at my FLGS about this build and some questions have come up.

Someone was saying that the zombie dragon mount will benefit from infinite hatred. I don't think this sounds right, can anyone clarify?

Also there was a debate about the armor save the lord would have. This is how it broke down, 4+ from Hauberk, 5+ from shield (+2), +1 for sword+shield, +2 for mounted on barbed mount (from scaly skin) for a save of -1. Now this didn't sound right to me either it should be 1+ right? Hauberk is 4, +1 from shield, +1 from sword+shield, +1 mounted. Which is right +1 or -1?

And I thought that the Blood Drinker could give wounds back to the Zombie Dragon but one person said he was quite certain that it's only the vampire himself or a 'unit' he is with. So can someone help with that one?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/239407/709674.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/239407/709674.page GMT Zombie Dragons
Also, monsters don't grant the rider an armor save bonus and the shield bonus only applies to models on foot. Your vampire would have the 4+ save from the Hauberk with no additional bonuses.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/239407/709681.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/239407/709681.page GMT Zombie Dragons

I just borrowed the main fantasy rulebook. Oh well. Guess it becomes a little cheaper and slightly better. I just don't trust a 4+ followed by a 5+ though.

Hew won't be the general. But I guess if he has the Dread Lance we wouldn't need infinite hatred either.

Edit: This means the lord gets 4 str 7 attacks on the charge that wound on a 2+ then another number of attacks for each unsaved wound. Isn't there something special about str 7 though?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/239407/709879.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/239407/709879.page GMT Re:Zombie Dragons

I'm assuming you're thinking of chariot busting. Any chariot that takes a Str 7 (or greater) wound is destroyed outright.
