-The last sentence explaining the Undead rule is redundant. Just cut out the "in which case they may march as usual."
ReplyDelete-There's a grammar issue in the Red Thirst rule. The last sentence should say: "This does not work against models with the Animated Construct, Daemonic or Forest Spirit special rules."
-I still think that Sylvanian troops would be better served being what little ranged component the Vampire Counts can muster, being equipped with bows, crossbows or handguns like in Total War Warhammer. The Vampire Counts already have plenty of better tarpits. Also, ranged options should be removed from Skeleton Warriors since the fluff says that the Undead created by Vampire Counts lack the intelligence to use ranged weapons. I would also give them WS3 and BS3.
-If Tomb Kings now have Tomb Blades for their elite infantry that grants Killing Blow and Magical Attacks then maybe the same should replace Killing Blow on Grave Guard, Wight Kings and Black Knights.
-Maybe a roll of 6 with Walach Harkon's Crimson Blade should be a Heroic Killing Blow instead so that rolling a 4 or 5 is not preferable against certain targets.
-I think that Vanhel's Danse Macabre and Hellish Vigour should also be able to affect Vampiric units. While Vampires can't be ressurrected quickly with an easy spell, I see no reason why they can't be empowered by Dark Magic since they are still a type of Undead.
-Wind of Death is odd, with most Vortex spells, the Vortex inflicts a single hit for each model it moves over yet Wind of Death functions differently, it might hit less models than it passes over or it might hit more. Maybe make it function like most Vortexes and just have it inflict a Strength 3 (or 4) hit for every model it touches. Less rolling that way.
-The Call Winds power could be worded better. I'd word it this way: "Call Winds is a both a hex and augment spell that affects all units within 24" of the Vampire. All missile attacks fired at or that are made by an affected unit suffer a -1 penalty To Hit. Multiples of this are not cumulative (such as a unit under the effect of this spell firing at another unit affected by this spell). If a unit moves out of the 24" distance from the Vampire, they are no longer affected by the spell."
One more thing. In the table of Contents, the Necrofex Colossus comes before the Terrogheist and Zombie Dragon despite it's page coming after. Also, the Table of Contents should list Undead Mounts as starting on page 210 instead of 208.
DeleteHello ,
ReplyDeletecongratulations for the job.
I disagree on one point, the fact that vampire strigos can have magical armor.
the first objection that can be made to me is that being unable to wear basic armor he cannot take them, but the magic helmets and the NIGHTSHROUD are beyond this restriction if I am not mistaken.
They can not take any magical armour in 9th ed, this is restricted in the main rulebook. In order to be allowed to pick any magical armour, you must first be allowed to pick normal armour.
