LJ26 Posted December 29, 2016 Share Posted December 29, 2016 The idea is to have the skellies do the heavy lifting and objective camping Zombies screen and merge when on an objective Necro and mourngul for rend and high mobility to pick certain targets Arkhan for must cast spells and the occasional support in combat with his spirits and abyssal getting a +1 to hit from settra I will keep settra away from combat until necessary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alexxk Posted December 29, 2016 Share Posted December 29, 2016 You can cut down the zombies to 2 units because you cant merge them anymore (see the latest GHB FAQ). With the remeining points you could also just swap out the zombies to skeletons. then you have 40 skeles and 2 groups of 10...I think they are supperior to zombies!

LJ26 Posted December 29, 2016 Author Share Posted December 29, 2016 My local group plays that you can keep the zombies. If it wasn't for that then ya I would sub them out for skellies Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can merge, it prohibits you from going above the maximum of 60. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah you should go re-read the FAQ. It is talking about merging them during set up, and not during the course of the game. It's a common mistake folks have made.

mmimzie Posted December 29, 2016 Share Posted December 29, 2016 Hmmm seems pretty good, but i think i'd drop the zombies. You already have one battle line in the form of the skel warriors. Just bring another 2 units of skel warriors and give them swords and shields, wont have as many attacks as your big skel block, but will be 3+/3+ to hit I'd drop the mourngul as well and throw those points into summoning. The mourngul wont be making many if any turn 1 charges against a smart opponent?? specially because you can be out deployed by anything with good battalion access. Plus you have arkan summoned and chief, so you could just summon the mourngul if need be. Or if you need carin wraiths for peaces of power. If you dont need either grave guard would be my fall back as those dudes love settra ALOT. double wounds on a 5+ to wound yummy. Spirit host would be too bad to summon either. It also lets you get black knights to make a wall accross the board if need be. That said that many points into summoning could be dangerous and putting a lot onto arkans shoulders. So, if you do go that way dropping the cursed book for a summoning sword would let you bring the mourgul or other summoned unit to the board should you need it.
