Honk Posted October 8, 2018 Share Posted October 8, 2018 Yep, like you said before depends on what you’re fielding and what you’re up against... And yes, in melee and even his bad breath attack he is more reliable and consistent in output, but the maw!!! The maaaw!!! Ever since I double munshed a treelord defying me with 2+rr1 armor save, statistics mean nothing to me ;-D 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gdead909 Posted October 8, 2018 Share Posted October 8, 2018 I agree that maw is so gross. I have even buffed him with black hunger before just so I could get more maw attacks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(https://www.warhammer-community.com/warscroll-builder/) over 2k point is no problem for us, my mate can for the 60 points take a another unite or spell, we often play with a difference of about 20-100 points. dark wizardry can i give only the general and i must make the Crypt Infernal Courtier to the general so that the flayers become battlelines, In addition, the Crypt Infernal Courtier gets the ability to summon ghouls (from the Abhorrant Ghoul King ). you mean 4x Abhorrant Ghoul King on Terrorgheist/Zombie Dragon ? I find the Royal Menagerie useful because of +6 "movement and additional healing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you just make the Abhorrant Ghoul King on Terrorgheist your general with MH you get two units of 3x Flayers for free. Just seems so much more efficient. Then taking out the other unit of Flayers and Infernal Courtier you have 620 to play with. Of course you need 300 for battleline Ghouls but that still give you some room to play with. I love the fluff of your list but I think there are more streamlined ways to run the core of the list. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honk Posted October 10, 2018 Share Posted October 10, 2018 1 hour ago, Diablo said: okay, i can try it Classic monster mash, but with flayer spam... your list is cool, very elite with strong units. the Kings on their mounts can summon in a bunch of stuff (varghulf and 2x flayer or vv), the feeding frenzy from the dragonlord turns your melee mob to 11, the gheistlord can grant the extra 5+ save and all the big baddies can regen. So if one takes pressure and you’re able to retreat to objective duties, 2 rounds later he might be good for a final suicide charge. really need to focus on your objective game though. Summon in ghouls to secure points and flappflapp up the flayers to bind the enemy. Called in varghulf can resummon all your stuff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill_S Posted October 11, 2018 Share Posted October 11, 2018 Thought folks may be interested; I am getting roped into an impromptu GT this weekend and going to the Michigan GT. I wasn't planning on doing another event until Da Boyz so my other 2.0 lists aren't ready yet. With that being the case I'll be taking my FEC NOVA list again. Not sure what the missions are so it'll be interesting lol. One constant remains; I am sure I will fight Nagash all weekend ?. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vipoid Posted October 11, 2018 Share Posted October 11, 2018 So, I'll admit that the splitting up of Vampire Counts has left me at a bit of a loss. I own quite a bit of Ghoul stuff, but it was intended to work with my skeletons and vampires - not on its own. Anyway, I'm wondering if I have enough Ghoul stuff for a viable Flesh Eater Courts army. Currently I own: - 1 Ghoul King (converted to have wings) - 1 Varghulf - 9 Crypt Horrors - ~50 Ghouls - 1 Terrorgheist Can I make a decent army out of that?

Diablo Posted October 11, 2018 Share Posted October 11, 2018 so my new armylist: Crypt Infernal Courtier (140) - General - Command Trait : Magestic Horror - Artefact : Splintervane Broach Abhorrant Ghoul King on Terrorgheist (400) Abhorrant Ghoul King on Terrorgheist (400) Abhorrant Ghoul King on Zombie Dragon (440) - Artefact : Blood River Chalice UNITS 3 x Crypt Flayers (160) 3 x Crypt Flayers (160) 3 x Crypt Flayers (160) BATTALIONS Deadwatch (170) TOTAL: 2030/2000 Note: i give my AGK on ZD the Blood River Chalice Artefact for longer live, TG can faster die then when he die he makes BOOM and maybe can the TG some units. the rest of my tactics are the same: try attacking the opponent first, try to conquer points quickly, BATTALION i use now the Deadwatch for the extra attack in the herophase.

Honk Posted October 11, 2018 Share Posted October 11, 2018 17 minutes ago, Vipoid said: Can I make a decent army out of that? Sure... might think about buying an extra Starting Box in the future. 30/10/10 ghouls, capturing objectives and the big one for area denial and the big grind. that gets you victory points for the win and prevents your opponent from doing so. then 9 horrors in a tag team with varghulf and the king...hard hitting unit to punch the enemy in the face. King buffs, varghulf calls back slain models. terrorgheist goes rampaging, classic distraction carnifex style. 300+100+100 =500 ghouls 160+160+160=480 horrors 140+160 =300 King +varg 300 Tg 1580 points, maybe delete one horror unit for 1420, then get ghoul 1500... then get a few games in, decide what you like, try combining king+gheist to see them perform.

That would be solid for 1000-1250 pts games, but not really enough for 2000 as you will lack units to summon, if you decide to play FEC - get one Start Collecting and one Skirmish box (don't recall it's proper name, but thats 20 ghouls and 3 horrors/flayers) also second Varghulf would be nice to get. And you can also play with mixed Death and therefore include all the stuff you own/like and even get some synergies from it (like +1 attack from Vampire Lord's CA) Edited October 11, 2018 by XReN Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honk Posted October 11, 2018 Share Posted October 11, 2018 4 minutes ago, Vipoid said: So FEC actually works okay with just a foot Ghoul King? Depends... he is a good small supportive hero for FEC. Black hunger spell is good, rerolling failed to hit for horrors is great (a group of 3 has 10 attacks on 4+ that’s 5 hits. Rerolling failed should give 2.5 on top of that)... CA 10 ghouls from board edge also quite nice to speedbump or flank protection. of course a gkotg or gkozd is „better“ pointswise, and give the same bonus for horrors/ghouls... but at lower point games I really had fun with a king/courtier/horror squadron of gravestone to the face and such a squad will definitely also perform as part of a larger force if the points (620) are available Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only reservations, but that can’t be helped, are the min squat flayers... but that’s just the way it is. Maybe drop the battalion to crank up one unit, but on the other hand you need the CP... with the summoning, you can attack from all the angles and really go into board control, even if your modelcount is super low.
