With all the new releases for Warhammer Fantasy, we are playing fantasy again! Playing against Jaeroler again lol. Actually I did play another fantasy game against The Beardy One, but my Vampire Lord (general) dimensional cascade himself in turn 1 and his grave guard bunker was obliterated in turn 2 by ogres. A pretty boring batrep if I did that 1, most of the actions would be the ogres mopping me up and me crumbling from unstable.
Anyway using TK for the 1st time. I always liked TK models, ever since 6th edition when I 1st saw them in a local game store. Bought TK stuffs last month and played against them once in 8th edition few weeks ago. I find them quite versatile and mobile but lacking on the heavy armour side. With the hierophant controlling unstable, the Tomb King is free to go fight and hopefully die- fit my play style hahaha.
