30, 000 points of fantasy

So the date has been set, the armies are prepared for End Times and nothing will stop the slaughter!

30, 000 points of Legions of Chaos and Undead Legions vs Legions of Chaos and Chaos Dwarfs.

The Gods are looking down with pride on their mortal subjects; whispering promises into their hearts to ensure they stay the course and gain glory for themselves and their Gods...

I'm so pumped for this game. Can't wait to see the armies lined up against each other.

We'll be taking pics as we go, so stay tuned on Monday to see who is more favoured in the Chaos Gods eyes :-)

The End Times is Official!

So Games Workshop just issued a new FAQ for Warhammer Fantasy Battle. They can be found here: 
Warhammer Fantasy Battle FAQ
 It includes a massive change to Warhammer. This change is huge. It brings us back to the glory days (or should that be the gory days) of Herohammer. The End Times are here to stay with the lore of Undeath and 50% Lords and 50% Heroes. This is massive guys. Now we can field multiple Daemon Princes, units of Heroes, multiple lv4 casters etc etc Once the dust has settled i'll start formulating cheesy lists to destroy the forces of Nurgleprototype... Your going down buddy ;)

So now this opens up the use of a Hortennse Tzeentch Lord, Lv4 Disc Sorcerer and a Slaanesh DP all in the same list... or 2 DP's.... Or... well you get the idea hehe

Fighting the new Undead or how to die horribly and still have fun...

Looks like i'm going to be outnumbered... 

Nurgleprototype being all ethereal as he deploys


Went up against Nurgleprototype and i am still licking my wounds. He was using the new undead rules combined TK and VC superforce. We went for a 3k pitched battle and the 50% characters. He did not use any of the Nagash Special characters but gee wizz it was a tough battle...

I was practicing taking nice photos of deployment but i failed big time... wrong lens, bad light blah blah oh well next time... Here is my army for this battle:


Chaos Lord, Mark of Tzeentch, Third Eye of Tzeentch, Disc of Tzeentch , Hellfire Sword, Enchanted Shield, Talisman of Endurance,

Daemon Prince, Chaos armour, Daemon of Slaanesh, Daemonic Flight, Lore of Slaanesh, Wizard Level 4, Chaos Familiar, Scaled Skin, Soul Feeder, Charmed Shield, Dragonbane Gem, Sword of Striking

Chaos Sorcerer, Lore of Tzeentch, Mark of Tzeentch, Wizard Level 2, Disc of Tzeentch, Channeling Staff, Dragonhelm,Talisman of Protection

Exalted Hero, Battle Standard Bearer, Mark of Tzeentch, Shield, Daemonic Mount Talisman of Preservation, Warrior Bane

Throgg

Chaos Chariot MOK

8x Chaos Troll Additional hand weapons, Throgg is here

9x Chaos Troll Additional hand weapons, Hortennse bsb is here

Hellcannon

3x Skullcrushers with Ensorcelled weapons

3x Skullcrushers with Ensorcelled weapons

So things i learnt:

Never rely on the hellcannon take 2 or none. He was just a combat monster all game, kept going crazy (i still love him, just remember it is not a sure bet to even fire, they are a tough monster in  Hand to Hand though so all is not lost, deployment is key with this guy)...

Keep dispel dice for doom and darkness dispel... 2 terrorghiests screaming at your DP while hexed is bad news... they wiped him out fast

The new summon lore is deadly. Terrorghiests, monstrous infantry etc etc. I just couldn't keep up... real hardcore



Throgg can kill a kitted out Vampire Lord. Save your breath spew for when it counts. One round, dead Vampire Lord on his ghost wagon thing.

I overcompensated for ethereal. Better to have it and not need it. A savvy raiser of the dead can just clusterfuck your units with unkillable unit matchups that he can raise... the horror...

Horde with tk characters sharing ws and the mask of "never use bsb or general leadership" really sucks when you eventually kill all the summoned legions and get into combat...

Undead still die as fast as they always did but now they will have more... way more...

A terrorghiest at full wounds can delete a unit of skullcrushers

Don't get too cheerful when you kill a terrorghiest... he can just summon another one...

It is possible to roll ballistic skill and extra armour on a 1+ character on the eye of the gods table

Tzeentch missiles are too random to kill a terrorghiest in 1 round with 2 spells

Killy tzeentch lord with 4++ with reroll 1's, disc and hellfiresword is great at wiping out chaff and full units of undead troops. Very valuable in this matchup.

Trolls are super effective against undead. ITP rocks. Problem is their low int. My mate had a backup death caster lv2 with purple sun
.. this meant i was forced to use a lot of dispel dice protecting the trolls. This lead to uncontested summons and the nastiest spell with a scream list.... doom and darkess....

1 Khorne chariot can hold off against a big unit of basic troops but they need help to wipe them out

Keep a tack of the enemy summons tokens

I got floored this battle. I think i ran a reasonably hard and cheesy list and from the beginning things went upside down. If you don't kill the 2 mandatory terrorghiests tgere will be more... while you try and kill them the summoners are doing their thing. This army was a blast to play against and it was great to run a Slaanesh choir bomber with a hellfire sword tzeentch disc lord. Lots of fun.. i just have to work out how to beat them
