7th Ed. 1000pts vs vampire counts

[jochemvh]

last week played my first game with the new lizzy book.
1000pts against vampire counts.

just made a quick list.
1 scar vet
17 saurus with spears
16 skinks
3 terradons
3 kroxigors
1 stegadon + EotG

opponent had 2 vampires
unit skellies
unit zombies
dire wolves
corpsecart
skelly cavalry

first 2 turns was mostly maneuvering into position and him raising dead things.
turn 3 he charged my stegadon but did no damage.

my turn 3 i managed to kill 4 of his cavalry, 2 in cc and 2 with the engine.
also managed to kill some skellies with my skinks.

from that moment on i finally started to roll properly on my dispell dice rolls and stopping him raising to much skeletons and zombies.
and i got my kroxigors in CC, where they remained for the rest of the game, holding up 2 to 3 small units, much to his annoyance that the kroxigors didn't run or die

the stegadon managed to kill the cavalrist, and then through charge and burning alignement all but 1 wolf.
love the engine as it is now, burning alignement managed to score a good number of kills.
also his tactic of trying to swarm me with zombies and skellies failed to the fact that i managed to block most of his spells (unheard of, i know LOL)

in the end my skinks broke his skellies and every thing i had jumped on his last block of skellies with both vamps and fought to a stand still.

in the end i lost no full units, but was left with 1 terradon, 1 kroxigor, 15 saurus and scar vet, stegadon and a handfull of skinks. so altogether a very rewarding game and a lot of fun.
eventhough i completly forgot that he had to take terror test against my stegadon, something i will not forget next time.
so very happy with the outcome.

"eventhough i completly forgot that he had to take terror test against my stegadon, something i will not forget next time."

You actually did this right, all undead are immune to psychology and so don't take terror tests.

I hate Vampires. Good Job man. What did you equip your scar vet and priest with?

 

[jochemvh]

scar vet had a great weapon, and priest had a plaque of tepok.

Very well done, the new Vampires are an extremely tough opponent. Those new vampires are sickening.

After looking through the vampire book again, I realized that pretty much all of them have horribly low leadership scores (aside from the Lord level vamps, who have 10). Blade of Realities ftw. Black Coach is LD 4 I think? Varghulfs are Ld 6? Bwahaha.

to bad they removed drain magic for the slanns. that could severly screw up his raising abilities.

i still don't get that high elves can and lizzies can't do drain magic, who do you think taught those elves that trick.

 

[Dalkarius]

Yeah, but only the Elves have dibs on creating the massive Vortex that stopped Chaos from destroying the entire world.

Aha but it was we the great lizardmen who's mighty stand against the daemons kept them from overwhelming the world before the elves could finish..... lets not forget who is the superior race here

Lol, yes, I cannot argue that the Lizardmen are superior, I must admit! No race even compares to our almighty greatness!
