Re: Vampire counts problem

I'd be wary about relying on the PG ward save against a vampire lord as they tend to bring The Other Trickster's Shard about 90% of the time.

Re: 2500 point Asur

Thanks for the reply I think I would do better with a block of 40 spears as opposed to LSG since they can't march and shoot. LSG lose their effectiveness for me if they aren't in a defensive type of list. The spears can go up against enemy steadfast units like empire spears and stormvermin and break...

Hello I'm a fan of having many troops, especially since most people have multiple steadfast units running around. I'm steering away from phoenixes as I find having another unit is more important than what our monsters contribute. AM, level 4, Book, 4+ ward, Lore of Beasts Noble BSB, Crown of Command...

Yeah, you have only have that one unit that can kill things so I don't see it working all that much, especially when you are going up against GT players. Perhaps consider dropping a couple bolt throwers for some dragon princes and lowering hte number of lions in that unit? I would definitely grab at...

Re: How do I use a White Lion Horde?

Go with a horde, don't split them up.
Use Lore of Light for the extra attack (or the speed boost so they don't get you with impact hits).
WS 10 is also nice as it will make the enemy miss you a lot.

Warpflame. The fact you are trying to do away with your enemy and end up giving him a permanent benefit is mindboggling (not to mention that the regen save can improve the more you hit them).

Re: New Daemons

They can make things less similar by giving armies/units different rules. By adding these charts they will slow games down and insert unecessary things that will take away from the enjoyment of warhammer. Some of those random effects remind me of the more annoying scenarios I've seen at tournaments.

I'd keep the standard bearer if you're going to a tournament. You might need it for the Blood and Glory scenario or for another that is similar.

I feel that Death is far better against the beastmen army since they rely so much on their characters' leadership to keep them around. 98% of Beastmen armies bring the same BSB setup (2+ armor save, 6+ parry with +1 Str banner) so he's easily removed with a spirit leech spell. Also, more and more Be...
