Weekly Roundup: New Vampire Counts

Weekly Roundup?

The Weekly Roundup will be replacing what was my Mid-week Inspiration posts. The Mid-week Inspirational started as motivational pics with a bit of commentary, but has since turned into a roundup of Warhammer Fantasy online content, so Weekly Roundup is a more fitting name, I think?

This month's White Dwarf has kicked up quite a fuss on the interwebs because it contains new Vampire Counts rules.  Not just rules, but official Warhammer rules!  While visiting family in Atlantic Canada I was able to drop by a GW to purchase the White Dwarf less then a week after it's release, but they had completely sold out! Fortunately for me, a good friend gave me his copy!

Sweet new Zombie Dragon!

Doubles Tournament Roundup

This is something a little different from Fantasy Battle Roundup! Please let me know if you like the tournament report, and would like to see more in the future?

Where’s all the Heavy Cavalry?

Horrible Heavy Hitters?

Do heavy cavalry still have an important role to play in Warhammer Fantasy?  For many people the answer is no, but Lange Grinevitch has always encouraged listeners of the jadedgamercast.com to continue to use the heavy hitters in 8th edition.  He suggests that cavalry is no longer a blunt instrument, but when used effectively can change the course of any game.  I agree with Lange, and think those that have totally excluded heavy hitters, like my Choas Knights, are missing out.  Fellow RHQ blogger Sean Davis emphasis the importance of having a clear role for cavalry when putting together your list, and this I believe is the key to using cavalry in 8th ed, but what roles should cavalry fulfill?
