Army Masters: Leo Baker and Robert Gogin’s Vampire Counts

April 2010·pp. 102–103

THE SHORT VERSION

Leo Baker and Robert Gogin explain how they plan a doubles army as one coherent project rather than two separate contingents. A shared crimson palette, joint painting sessions and regular progress checks unite units divided according to each painter’s preferences. The award-winning Vampire Counts include playful Skeleton conversions and a Dire Wolf-pulled Corpse Cart, with Mannfred’s contrasting details giving a characterful focal point without abandoning the overall scheme.

Red in Tooth and Claw

Phil Kelly’s Beastmen plan combines a cheap central horde with several ambushing units, timing them to close a trap around valuable enemy regiments. He explains how to use imperfect arrival results, how Khazrak improves reliability and how Bestial Surge can accelerate the main advance. Two sample armies contrast this coordinated approach with a monster-heavy force that protects its destructive units until they reach the fight.

They’re All Around Us! and the Ambush Table

Several inexpensive ambushing units create enough arrival chances to threaten the enemy’s rear or sides at the same moment the main herd attacks. Late or misplaced units still block escape routes, guard against breakthroughs or hunt isolated artillery. Khazrak’s re-rolls and Bestial Surge improve the timing, but Phil stresses coordination over rushing the first available charge, turning simple numerical pressure into a combined combat-resolution advantage.

The Khazrak Vice: The Raiders of Glumhof

The 1,998-point ambush list places Khazrak with Bestigors and a Battle Standard Bearer with the central Gors. Four inexpensive reserve herds threaten the flanks and rear, while Centigors and a chariot support the on-table advance. The deployment aims to keep the anvil dependable and the ambushers expendable, so the force can exploit several arrival positions without risking its most valuable unit on one uncertain roll.
