In a list with lots of casting power, the damage he dishes out is unstoppable.
The new FAQ lets him scream into a combat he isn't in, all you have to do is bog down your opponent and turn him loose.
I've had a lot of luck with mortis engine and terrorghiest as a combo. Gives me plenty of boost to keeping my opponent bogged down, and ups the gheists regen to 5+.

IIRC. So a full health Terrorghiest will be forcing a ld test at 3D6+6 IIRC. Thats an average of 16 for the roll, so 6 wounds caused assuming the target was Ld10.

Of course don't expect to make it to scream range without taking some damage. Anyone who knows what they can do will shoot them and shoot them a lot.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/498485/5149781.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/498485/5149781.page GMT Terrorgheist, how good are they? 2d6, not 3d6.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/498485/5150018.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/498485/5150018.page GMT Terrorgheist, how good are they? 2D6. 3D6 is the sort of thing matt ward would do if he got into warhammer fantasy ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/498485/5151812.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/498485/5151812.page GMT Terrorgheist, how good are they? 3D6 most times.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/498485/5152070.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/498485/5152070.page GMT Terrorgheist, how good are they? http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/498485/5152360.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/498485/5152360.page GMT Terrorgheist, how good are they? TG can do more than fine just chewing on stuff. It's just mostly got its T/W to defend it. People know what a cannon can do and can't do much about it. They can do something about a TG because of its short range.

I wouldn't say it's job is to kill dragons either. Since that's a really sucky job. It's just a bonus. It's a lotsa wounds causing monster with not the best defense.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/498485/5152398.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/498485/5152398.page GMT Terrorgheist, how good are they?

Hmm I think you took that a bit too literally there, I mean its not an actually a cannon it just behaves like a toned down one to me. I meant it could kill dragons not that is it only role. There are better things for that role.

FAQ for the opponent. It seems almost too good to be true. I would keep it out of combat if you can help it. I managed to get mine stuck in against an opposing chariot, but it failed to do anything but slow me for two turns. The scream is pretty sick for sure.

I would suggest that you tie up a target with zombies and just keep the TG off to the side and scream the opponent to death.

Stay close to a Necro so you keep your wounds high for max effect.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/498485/5152886.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/498485/5152886.page GMT Terrorgheist, how good are they?

I find it better than a cannon.
Very short range, but no possible misfire, no missing the target on a bad bounce, no roll to wound, and the scream mechanic is a lot better than D6 wounds. 2D6+remaining wounds has a better bell curve than just D6 wounds.
But of course it's better than a cannon, it cost ~twice as much.
Of course the cannon hits the dragon and the rider, but who the hell runs dragons anyway?
What terrorgiests are really good at is killing other vampire count players. Seriously, leaderships in a vampire army are horribly low.

As for the Terrorgheist arrive intact, I haven't had an issue. I run 1 with a mortis engine, so I've got very easy to cast invokes, healing 2 per casting to the ghiest, and giving it the 5+ regen.

They work wonders against skinks. Ld6? If the skinks are isolated, you're going to do some serious damage. Cold Blooded doesn't help defend against the screaming.

It adds wounds though too. so it's better than 3D6 most times.


the initial poster said it was 3d6+6.

anyways, i like to run two. i've seen two of them destroy an entire unit of DE cold one riders in one turn. rolled very well though. a 10 and then a 9. killed everything including the hero.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/498485/5157400.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/498485/5157400.page GMT Terrorgheist, how good are they?

It's good against lizzies. Their poison range is crap. It isn't tough to box out the poison and then start screaming into combat.
