Warhammer Army: THE BLIGHT

[Archangel Tirus]

I have an idea for a wierd army.
They are like spirits made from the shadows and take a human like form.

I have these ideas for them:
Basic human profile with a large increase in ld the following special rule: When the Crypt Lord is removed from the table top, the Blight get -1 to Strength and Toughness

So this is a kind of counts aspect army, but they will have a Lord called something (right now its called a "Shadowtar") basicly it is a powerful being that gives the whole army a +1 to there save, but the army will only have 2 units that are heavily armed, and when it dies you must roll a D6 for each unit. on a roll of 4+ that unit must make a ld test (with NO negitive modifiers)

I just think this army would be cool cause It's strength will not be in speed or strength, but in Ld minipulation.

Ok. Update on the idea. i.e. the IN PROGRESS PARTS. let me start with CORE

I'm thinking of having 1 type of block unit which will be armed with Hand weapons, but may also take shields, light armour, and spears.

I was thnking a profile of:
Warriors of the Blight Pts/per model: about 6pts a model
M WS BS S T W I A Ld
4 3 3 3 3 1 2 1 9
4 3 3 3 3 1 2 1 9
Unit Size:10+
options:
-May be given shields, light armour and/or spears for 1pts each
-Upgrade one to a Mus for 5pts
-Upgrade one SB or champ for 10pts

Special Rules:
THE BLIGHT: This unit gets -1 S and -1 T when the Crypt Lord of your army is off the table.
THE FEAR OF THE BLIGHT: The blight cause fear, but the fear they cause is not as terrifiying to the normal fear caused by units of that type. to represent this whenever this unit is in a position to cause fear if it had it, then roll a D6 on a roll of 5+ the unit causes fear.

I was also thinking of having there basic unit of archers hurling shadows rather then using a wepon.

That is all I got

I kinda get where your coming from, i like the idea,

Specials could be say some sort of wraith or somethin with ethereal ability, (say negates hits by mundane weapons on a 4+.)

You could 'borrow' alot of different creatures etc from the dnd books include creatures of the plane of shadow.

Maybe their wizards could be limited to shadow magic but have all spells.

BTW you forgot to add a Wounds entry into your character

Now you get it
for the wound slot thing. Ill fix it up later. right now I gtg
