This guy keeps charging anything (even dragons!!!)
that you put in front of him - so usually he's either dead or on the run
in turn 1 or 2 (depending on who get's the first turn). He also uses an
assasin these days so we expected him to go after our generals. We knew
that, unfortunately, regeneration doesn't work on killing blows or the
venom sword, but we chose the strigoi bloodline anyways because that's
basically what we both had enough models for. Strangely enough this is
the main reason why we took the units that we did (fielding 5000 points
of undeads is tricky - especially since I only own a 2000p army).
The army consists of pretty much all the units you usually see in VC armies
(skellies, zombies, knights etc.) only in larger numbers... As both Klaus
and myself are such cheesy players we loved the idea of fielding 5 spirit
hosts and 4 bat swarms (although we knew that Lord Slayer would probably
be bringing his trusted venom sword along). A large unit of knights also
seemed like a fun idea. Played properly they could be very devastating
(and they would hopefully draw a lot of the nasty shooting and magic that
we knew we would be facing). To top it all off we brought 4 banshees (always
nice ;) and my trusted Meat Wagon (coach) as the ghouls need to be fed,
or else they'll just feed on the necromancers.
As for characters the count and lord had regeneration (for survivability),
+1S (for killability), and summon ghouls (for annoy-ability). One thrall
also had summon ghouls and +1S while the other could fly. The summon ghouls
and fly ability were going to be needed as we knew they would bring a
lot of shooting (especially the warp lightning cannon - which can be a
pain). The necros carried some scrolls, book of arkhan and the staff of
"suffer a wound and take a panic test", which we thought would
work well against skaven.
