Help? 2250 Lizardmen army list vs Vampire Counts
« on: September 23, 2010, 10:20:40 PM »
I've got a match coming up and am looking for some advice.  This is going to be my first game of Warhammer in over a decade, and is against a person who plays regularly.  I'd like to give a good showing.

Here's what I know about my opponent.. He plays Vampire Counts.  I watched him play a match recently, and he loves his ghouls.  What he fielded was a horde sized block of ghouls, a unit or two of skeletons, a small unit of mounted wights, a 20 or so strong unit of grave guard.  A vampire lord and 2 other vampires, one tooled up for magic, one for combat.

After the battle, he talked a lot about how awesome the ghouls were in a horde, so I expect to see that popping up again.  I also know he focuses on the raising dead and danse macabre spells.

Revised, again:

Lord
Slann
Battle standard bearer, Focus of mystery (Lore of Light), Focused Rumination, Becalming Cogitation, Cupped hands of the Old Ones

Hero
Skink Priest
Cube of darkness

Saurus Scar-Veteran #1

I love using the becalming cognitation on my Slaan. Making his top wizard discard his 6's when casting is just awesome. No irrisistable force for them.

This is known as the Conan rule of play, and is not forbidden in the core rules and encourages serious amounts of sportsmanship." - Carniflex

Just posted my most recently revised list.  I'm thinking this is probably what I'm going to go with.  I'm a little concerned about straight combat with his vampires, but hopefully will be able to offset it with the magic.

Looks like it could be fun to play with. Let us know how it goes for you.
