So if they had several units of eels alpha striking (I guess more than two would be difficult to fit) they could get to attack with at least some. Of course, your VLOZD attacking before any of them could would mean not too many eels left... yeah I can't see this ending well for eel spammers! Would love to play this guy against the 27 (I think???) eel-list at a tournament this weekend. Sadly not attending If they have High Tide they're not allowed to delay. They go first and lose all of their attacks. Other than high tide, yes of course. But you should be screened with skeletons anyway, so if they want to be in melee with your VloZD they have to give you extra activations. You have to play the cloak minigame but you should usually win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Undead has always been more strict about positioning and timing than all the other armies. It's not only related to AoS^^ Anyay if you play... you compete in some ways^^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ravinsild Posted October 6, 2018 Share Posted October 6, 2018 I had a successful game with a Legions of Sacrament Deathmarch Battalion list albeit at 1500 points. It was the shifting objectives map. I held middle with a 40 man skeleton blob, decimated my enemy’s left flank with my 10 Black Knights and held that objective with them, then my 10 Grave Guard just kept dying and being brought back to keep things busy. Held for all 5 turns and racked up 14 victory points over my opponents 8. My heroes were non-threats, but my Necromancer is just amazing at upping my offensive power and debuffing my enemies. The auto-regeneration of the Deathmarch is very nice, and the movement was mostly irrelevant after turn 1 but that’s alright. If I hadn’t taken Deathmarch I wouldn’t have been able to pull off a turn 1 charge and destroy his lines. My Black Knights killed 5 Hellstriders, an Exalted Seeker Chariot of Slaneesh, and like 13 out of 40 Marauders in 1 go, so my Skeletons middle removed another chunk of Marauders and I took a 40 man block down to 8 in 1 turn and finished them turn 2. My opponent charged my Black Knights turn 2 with his Chaos Knights but they only killed 2 out of 10.... so both Calvary sat there for about 4 turns slowly killing each other but I often had my unit back up to max due to graveyards and Deathmarch. Didnt have a lot of luck hurting my opponent Keeper of Secrets with a -2 to be hit.... I think offensive magic would be the best way to deal with something like this. What’s our best offensive damage spell? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What's the problem about 1,5k pointrs? Cause Nagash itself? It's not like it's something big. Pratically you almost have him to play with, it's a mobile target. IThey could choose also the 2k points if itwas a problem. Sincerly I never valued Nagash quite enough. In AoS 2.0 has a bettter meaning nly if you add the realms enchantments, otherway it's even worse at the end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I play Coven Throne and wight king^^ I despise Nagash, I have all the bg him related other than a couple of the new ones and I have both his incarnations^^ Still I love the abuse of him by Vlad in EoT^^ Anyway don't worry, I only need to kill Nagash, not something he is new about ahahah^^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honk Posted October 7, 2018 Share Posted October 7, 2018 I get the feeling, that the destruction of my beloved master is more like a technical inspection, which sometimes ends a a complete new system set up... And I guess the only way to really finally and totally die, while being on the good side of Nagash, is being dissolved/digested by Chaos. Which can really take some time, looking at those munched on half digested aelvenkind... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Better having a country of undead servitors, some nice juices and some mortlas to gain a bit of fresh blood when you need. WHy worry about such complicated conquering and so on? In the while anyway ammass the undead to create an army for eventual bothersome chaos bringer... it's always useful^^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
warhammernerd Posted October 7, 2018 Share Posted October 7, 2018 Cant wait to run this list. Been wanting to use my big block of Black Knights for years, hadnt considered this build. Wicked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
warhammernerd Posted October 8, 2018 Share Posted October 8, 2018 Hmm, not sure I see how the WK can get his azyurbane cloak within range of black night foe? Given he’s tucked behind them and unlikely to charge the same unit? Or did I miss something? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

warhammernerd Posted October 8, 2018 Share Posted October 8, 2018 If he also charges said unit yes. Otherwise, cant see it being in range. 24" apart, -7" for bonus move, -12" black knight move = 5" charge for black knights. Hmm, maybe it is then. But black knight unit would need to be facing sideways at start surely? Anyway, I'll fid out tomorrow! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mutter Posted October 8, 2018 Share Posted October 8, 2018 I think the banner would be more in case somebody charges you. Insurance policy, so to speak. I don't really see the BKs needing the standard when they charge something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I keep mine up pretty close behind my Black Knights line always within 6” of them to give Deathly Invocations to my units but I keep him bubble wrapped and never get him into combat because his attacks are trash and he never kills anything.

warhammernerd Posted October 8, 2018 Share Posted October 8, 2018 Yup, that was a give - sorry if I didnt make that clear. Just wondered how you could benefit from the cloak in turn 1 assuming you get the drop and go first, if the WK is out of 6" from black knights. Anywhoo.... lets see how it comes out in the wash.
