Thread: New Vamps......worth it or not????

Reading through the book for a bit today they seem to have some cool new characters and units. They also seem much more versatile than they were previously, with the points reductions, new units, etcetera.

Just wanted to see what other people were thinking now that they've had the chance to look over the book.

Picked up the book today, seems pretty playable and I haven't seen any overpowered builds. So still under the power of WoC, DE, and Skaven. SO I woudl say back of the lead pack or top of the middle pack.

At the very least, way more interesting.

I think I might do a Lahmian/TK army just to make a of the Coven Throne, which looks incredible!

Which is great because I already have an extensive TK army collection painted up and have fielded them as Lahmian VC before.

I am gonna run an all combat vamp list with Kemmler as my caster. Regular combat lord as my general. I am feeling two of the Mortis engines with TONS of zombies and skellies. Lots of regen going around.

On another note: In reading the Mortis Engine "The Reliquary,"it seems to me that if you have two of them that the abilities would stack on one another. ie, if you have two of them dropping counters each turn, you would get to the 4+ regen even faster. Also, in re-reading the rule, if they have no regen can they only ever get a 6+save?! Or did they mis-write this and they do get a cummulative save based on the number of counters?! I may be over thinking this.......

@minus67 - Call when you want I am looking forward to tossing some ideas around.
