Next Battle List (O&G/VC)

The Warhammer gods have been kind, it looks like I will get another battle in next week. Probably the most games I have managed in a short(ish) period in many years. I was thinking of going for either Orcs & Goblins or Vampire Counts, so any votes for who you would rather see in the battle report are welcome to settle my indecisiveness



I will be mainly using stuff that I haven’t used very often.

The thinking being that Skarsnik would roll with the Battle Standard and in a horde taking advantage of the Stubborn banner. The Big Boss on the spider would join the other unit to give them a little bit of killing power. I originally put in the Savage Orc Shamen to carry the Shrunken Head but that ended up being cut. I could perhaps swap him out to buff my other shaman to a Lord or a Rock Lobber/Doom Diver/River Trolls/Pump Wagon/5 Savage Orc Boar Boyz. But on the flip-side he give me some access to Lore of the Big Waaagh.



So that is the green option..





For the Undead option I was thinking of giving Kemmler a run out and not going with any Vampires





Heinrich Kemmler

350 points



Wight King (Battle Standard Bearer, Lance, Shield, Barded Steed)

139 points



40 Crypt Ghouls (Champion)

410 points



24 Skeleton Warriors (Spears, Full Command)

150 points



29 Zombies (Musician, Standard)

97 points



9 Black Knights (Barding, Lances, Full Command)

264 points



20 Grave Guard (Shields, Full Command)

250 points



Corpse Cart (Unholy Lodestone)

120 points



Spirit Host

45 points



3 Cairn Wraiths (1x Banshee)

175 points







Obviously a lot of eggs are in the resurecting basket on this one and I couldn’t squeeze in another necromancer to help or to carry the Book of Arkhan. But that should really be Kemmler’s forte shouldn’t it. I could swap out the Wight King for a necromancer or for some Hexwraiths or something I guess? Not sure I will have my Dire Wolves painted in time for this battle unfortunately.
