On Thursday, I will be teaching my cousin Josh to play Warhammer Fantasy. This is his first time playing a wargame, so I want to make sure it's a good experience. I'd love to have someone to talk about fantasy with at family events!
Josh is intereted in Dwarves, but not only do I not know anything about Dwarves, I don't have any. So, Josh will take to the field with my Lizardmen, while I will use my brand new (and arriving in the mail today) Vampires.
Here are the lists I plan on running - I'd love your input on them, as well as any general hints and tips on introducing Warhammer Fantasy to a brand new player.
1k Lizardmen
Lords
• Saurus Oldblood w/Glittering Scales & Great Weapon, on a Cold One
Heroes
• Skink Priest (Level 2, Lore of Beasts) w/Scepter of Stability
Core
• 20 Saurus Warriors w/Spears (Full Command)
• 10 Skink Skirmishers w/Blowpipes
Special
• 6 Cold One Riders w/Spears
Rare
• 2 Salamanders
1k Vampire Counts
Lords
• Master Necromancer (Level 3 - Lore of the Vampires) w/Seed of Rebirth on a Nightmare
Heroes
• Wight King w/Shield & Shrieking Blade
• Necromancer (Level 2 - Lore of Death)
Core
