Black Friday 2015

On Friday, November 27th we open our doors at 9am for a store-wide discount of 20% off all merchandise*.
Can't make it in early, don't worry, the sale goes all day!

I wont be able to make it in now.

hey Derek...I can play you.  Would 2k pts work? I'll be in around 5

I'll be there looking for a game of 40k.  I finally have my list to where I want it.

Is there a link for the facbook page for the event to see the event details?

I have a game set up with peter so I should be there around 5ish

Ok I should be there between 345 to 4

Ok how early are you getting there? 

The Bronze Skulls War Host receives a report of a weak poorly defended world ripe for the taking.  Usually the host would prefer to find stronger targets in order to further gain the attention of their god but in a galaxy of weakness "beggers can't be choosers".  It is defended by the inferior race known as the Tau.  Cattle that preach useless propaganda about the greater good and prefer to sit back from a distance instead of relishing the of feel of fresh spilt blood upon ones axe.  There is only one truth...there is only war.  The blood will flow and Khorne will smile upon his throne.

I would be down for a BB learning game in addition to my 40k game if it works out.  I am almost through the rulebook.  I should have it done tonight.

I will be there for league.  I am guessing that I will be challenged by Chappy since I am at the top now.  I would be able to arrive early this week. 

I will be there for the league at 5 pm

I am looking for some 50mm rounds bases if anyone has any extra or willing to sell. 

I'm in

How is it going to work?  So Sept 1st will be the first game? What is the starting points?

Never mind I saw the thread...Count me in.  I have a whole different army...Khorne Daemonkin...thank you Chappy for bringing it to my attention.

Ok chappy. Sounds good.  I will not be there though until around 5 pm.  I remember most things but I might be a little bit rusty on some. 

Hey thanks...either way I will be there.  It is good to be back to playing. 

I will be there with 2k pts 40k...I have not played since 6th so would love to play against someone with patience.  I just recently got back into the game and now have enough stuff to play.  I also have AOS if someone wants to play that instead.

For black Knights are the lances worth it for that extra punch on the first round of combat or not really worth it? Also any experience with tomb banshees? They look good on paper it seems and are cheep for what they do. It does take up HQ space though.

Id also consider planning your 2500pt list as this seems to be the current level most people are playing. Although I do like 2000pt games, its so 5 years ago. haha. 

 

Great first list, Id like to see how you'd bring it up to 2500... Corpse cart, spirit hosts, black knights would be my suggestions. Welcome back!

It's at 2000 pts right now because it is models that I currently have. To go up to 2500 I would add another 5 wolves, 2 spirit hosts that would be run seperately, and either add 29 GG w/ GW or 10 black Knights and a corpse cart.

Thanks Iraf...that makes sense with the necromancer. I have a Vargheists at 4 because I am expecting 1-2 of them dying before getting into combat. If that's the case then it will still hit units solidly at 2-3 models compared to 1-2.

Fixxer... Yes this is my first VC army. I got into fantasy with warriors of chaos, but I didn't play too much because I had a lot going on at the time. I had always liked the idea of one though so now that I am getting back into fantasy I wanted a fresh start with a new army. I didn't want to make the same mistakes that I have done in the past where I buy all the cool new GW models and then have nothing to play with. I do like the idea of strong vampires and big Skelton hordes. The zombies I am planning on building up the first couple of turns and try to throw them at somerging. I do understand that the list might change some as I play.

Hey I posted a little while ago about skeletons or zombies. I now have got some models and threw together a list. I am looking to just have a basic list to get right into playing and then do changes as I do play testing and able to get more models. This is what I have so far....I would appreciate any advice about where I can improve it. Also I am not really looking for a stomp all list but one that is not going to be wiped off the table either.

Vampire lord lv 3: 456 pts

Ogre Blade, Emchanted Shield, Tailsman of Preservation, aura of dark majesty, beguile, quickblood, lore of vampires

Vampire lv 2: 209 pts

Sword of Anti Heroes, Aura of Dark Majesty, Dread Knight, lore of vampires

Necromancer lv 2: 160

Master of the dead, dispel scroll, Tailsman of Protection, lore of vampires

Skelton warriors 230 pts

34 w/ full command, hw and shield and screaming banner

Skelton warriors 205 pts

34 w full command, hw and shield

Zombies 23: 69 pts

2x5 Dire Wolves

4 Vargheists

6 Hexwraith

Terrorgheist

I am planning on running the lord and the necromancer in the skeletons with the screaming banner, the vampire in the other skelly unit. I want to make people have to keep taking leadership tests at lowered leadership. Maybe get things to run away or just really screw with them in CC with reroll inn hits. The wolves will be re-directors and specials will be for back line stuff to get them to come to me. I was thinking spirit hosts but to fit them in?

Btw where are the rules for the undead legion....is it a supplement?

Thanks for the advice guys. I was going to mostly go the vampire counts route. I like the Transylvania feel to them over the Egyptian tomb king one. I guess I will play around with some lists and see what comes together.

First off....I'm sorry if this has already been discussed here,

I am getting back into the hobby after being away from it for a year and a half. I am starting fresh with a vampire counts army. My question is: is the way to go skeletons or zombies as main core units. I really like the idea of the skeletons for the look of the army but for almost the same points you can get twice as many zombies. Zombies seem to go better with the synergie since different tricks will cause opponents be be fighting at low initiative anyway. I guess is it worth the extra points in any way for the skeletons? What do most people go with?
