A possible three attack actions and three bonus attacks makes for 15 attacks at str 5 with damage 2/4.īased on everything we just covered, I think the Balanced Warband will be the warbandI use in my first game. The Seneschal gets a bonus attack action and an additional number of attacks equal to half the value of the rounding up. If you have a and your Seneschal within 6″ of your Leader you can turn him into an attacking machine with Chosen Champion. If this kills off the minion you can always bring them back with Summon Undead Minions in a following turn. With so many minions you can use Necrotic Siphon to offload damage your Vampire Lord sustain onto a minion (equal to the value of the double). With low movement you’ll be wanting to use Shambling Horde to get into position and also Vanhel’s Dance Macabre to get some bonus moves (or attacks) in.
Graveguard with Wight Blade and Crypt ShieldĪ whopping 12 models makes up this warband.This warband will have no problem reaching any objectives on the board. Allowing you to set up a minion within 3″ of the Wight King (or any Soulblight Leader). use your second action as a move and you just moved a zombie or skeleton 12 inches! Dead Walker Zombies and Skeleton Warriors have the minion runemark, which means if they get taken down, you can Summon Undead Minions. If that’s a double 6, then you get a bonus 6″ on top of your 3″ move action. The Zombies and Skeletons are slow but you can use Shambling Horde to move a Dead Walker Zombie or Skeleton Warrior an extra number of inches equal to the value of the. 5 models are really quick and all move 8″ (apart from the Vargskyr who moves 6″). I could choose the Wight King as my Leader and make the Vampire Lord my Hero on my roster. The Vargskyr and Kosargi have 2″ range to their weapons which will help ganging up on tough enemies is easy to do. Using the Vampire Lord’s Call of the Crimson Feast will give all fighters within 6″ +1 to their attack characteristic making up for the small number of fighters. The Smash Warband is small at only 7 models in total but everyone (apart from the strength 4 Vampire) is strength 5, so even against toughness 4 enemies you’ll be wounding them on 3s making them very reliable. With my 20 models chosen, let’s have a look at what I can do with my 1000pts. The rag tag Ulfenkarn Militia I hacked up the downloadable single sheet Warcry roster in Adobe Illustrator and made this spread based on the ones in the Bringers of Death Warcry Supplement book. For my example warbands I’ll start with 1000pt with no heroes/allies (just the mandatory Leader). The number of territories also decides the number of heroes or allies you can field on the battlefield. You start off with 1000pts and that can grow based on territories you conquer. Warcry is different when it comes to army building, you’re allowed up to 20 models on your roster, however, when you’re playing a game you’re allowed to pick up to 15 models from that roster to use. I didn’t want to use Radukar as my Vampire Lord because he is a named character and pretty recognisable (he’ll be stopped every 5 minutes in the Varanspire for his autograph). She’s super-human in stature, she towers over her minions.
FISTS OF THE WARBAND FREE
When Games Workshop released the free Warcry rules for Soulblight Gravelords, I dropped my other projects and jumped into my Corpse Car(t) and headed to my local Games Workshop and picked up Start Collecting Soulblight Gravelords and a Vampire Lord. As I was painting my way through the Cursed City models, I was enjoying the paint scheme and was getting the itch to army build Nagash’s dusty troops.
