Another horrible one is a Chaos Lord on a Dragon, with the whole model having a 3++ ward save re rolling ones. Yeah. Nothing is killing that if played half decently.

Hit it with Arcane Unforging (to knock a few wounds off and remove the 4+ ward save), then proceed to dance around it with scouts/waywatchers while laughing because there isn't a whole lot Mister Dragon Vampire can do about it, if he looks like he is gonna charge feed him chaff or hit him with Wild Riders.Runicmadhamsterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16998940858801320118noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5350909421320911401.post-1832692161807737882014-09-03T16:11:54.617+12:002014-09-03T16:11:54.617+12:00So we'll say this :).
