The new warhammer fantasy thread.

[Closet_Skeleton]

Completely pwned Chaos again. Wiped out every model on the board and only lost a single unit (my helblaster). Not very proud of it though because my list was kind of unfair (2 special characters, 2 units of knights, no core infantry blocks) but he did have that flying Chaos special character, who would have been nasty if she hadn't spent the whole game tied up by my greatswords after she killed my helblaster crew, only to be quickly dispatched by Karl Franz after he'd dealt with the rest of her army, wiping out a unit of chaos knights on his own and helped a unit of knights and a warrior priest wipe out a unit of chaos warriors by killing their exalted hero in a challange and getting a ton of over-kill from Ghal Maraz' extra wounds.

Funnily enough I had built an army with tons of magic defence and his special character meant he didn't have any points for wizards.

Hopefully I'll be playing against Vampire Counts soon so I can break my winning streak. Though I did buy the new Vampire Counts book and once I get my models from home to Uni I was thinking of fielding this list:

Spoiler

Vampire Lord - 520
Avatar of Death, Red Fury, Infinite Hatred, Walach's Bloody Hauberk, Sword of Battle, Gem of Blood, Abyssal Terror (going to play him like an old school blood dragon and just fly around the board on his skeletal pegasus challanging characters)

I wanted to make a balanced fluffy list rather than an all powerful horde. My backstory is that the general was a questing knight who got turned on his quest and became a warrior-hermit style blood dragon. Still loyal to the ideals he held in life, occaisonally he joins up with some renegade damsels and leads his force of undead knights and men at arms to protect the people of Bretonnia.
