Julien you are a cruel cruel man.  Bet you enjoyed it.

Every minute of it

Imagine if that happened to the great unclean one??

[Julien]

Can't wait for that

Not the great uncle!!

Yesterday Sim's vampire lord blew up as I bounced a double 1 miscast with cupped hands 

It happened on Turn 3 and it was the first casualty I took. I am still tramautised by the experience, and I will probably suffer from extreme paranoia when playing Lizzies from now on.
What makes it worse is that we carried on as if nothing had happened and Julien still caned me.

Any tips from Dan, Ol or Rob on the VC/Lizzies matchup?

It seems to make sense to hang back initially to Invo the Skele blocks out of Becalming range, and then storm forward, but I have to weather the magic storm for an extra turn, and then there is the problem of all the diverting units of Skinks preventing any decent charges.

In addition, would you ever use Forbidden Lore to take one of the rulebook lores, instead of the Vampiric Lore? Julien was insistent that I took Lore of Metal vs Empire with Steam Tank, War Altar + unit of 10 knights + a small unit of 5 Knights.

Simran.

forbiden lore to get all of shadow is pretty good (basicly if you have a good target to pit great unclean one cough cough).

empire meh i'd stick to lore of vamps and do the standard game plan. you can tie up the tank better than most races (aslong as it dosn't his something expensive like knights) with zombies or spirit hosts.

Yeah I've used Shadow against Julien's Lizardmen before, just to threaten with both Steed of Shadows and Unseen Lurker, because 8" extra movement just aint enough against the massed redirectors of the Lizardmen. All in all it's a really hard match-up, one that I usually lose... not against Julien though. Shame on you Simran ;)

I'd often go for metal against Warriors of Chaos, Empire I'd do metal if I had no Wraiths or other nasties than can take down a Tank.

The post under my name somehow ended up filled with Ol's responses...

Umm that's what happens when you mix the quote button up with the modify button....Oops

Death i good vs the lizards with the 2 magic missiles and making things causing terror etc.

Can you take beasts? If so that works well too.
