your undead minions will serve you till their undying breathes, and if they get smashed, that's ok, just throw some dice and...raise raise raise and they are back. Every time one of my eldar dies to an ork, my inner child weeps, so I think I will find playing this army quite therapeutic.
Of that, I can easily imagine. Well then, go for it.jus wrote:hmm lords of the undead? more like lords of the tarpit, I think that's what GW paints vampires to be in fantasy battle, and I quite like the idea... The special troops on the other hand are quite the awesome sauce. Shambling skeletons though they may be. Primarch mentioned earlier that Grave guard are actually quite decent...and i'm inclined to agree. Although I maybe a bit biased since I like skeletons. Blood knights as well. There's my vampire coven right there. and mounted and in heavy armour as well. Is that enough character for the army? I think so.
Also, having seen it done (although I can't, of course, find pictures now that I need them), Empire troops done up as zombies look quite awesome.Primarch wrote:Well then, go for it.
But even if you dont have them in your army to begin with, you will need zombies. Yes the models are lame, yes they are ineffectual, but if you can raise a unit of them behind the enemy troops and then cast Vanhels Dance on them, you're laughing.
