Necromantic
I was recently told i play Necro with only the Wolves. (well mainly)
Im due to join my first TT league in June with Necro (just about to buy team) but never really noticed how much i rely on the Wolves too much. I have played alot of box games recently with mainly Necro and Wondered if anyone could give a few tips. I.E. Worth getting Ghouls early? Or even at all! No regen makes them a nice target.
Also at GW i can get the team for around £31 but this comes with only 1 Wolf and 1 Golem. Anyone know of anywhere better or maybe cheaper?
Many thanks in Advance

I find the wolves to be the most entertaining part of the team, but they also tend to skill up the quickest. To balance things out and get the team developing fairly evenly, I start with a roster containing 2 golems, 2 wights, 1 wolf, 1 ghoul, 5 zombies, and 3 rerolls. I like to start with 2 golems more so then the wolves since they can take so much longer to skill up, and furthermore they tend to resist death a bit more. I think ghouls are fairly essential for the team as well, helping to provide the much needed mobility for the team.

If it's not a GW sponsored league, there are millions of good WW models out there. Try WarGames Factory or Eureka.

I'm not a good coach and my advice is what is is, but maybe just try to play a necro team without wolves on fumbbl for a dozen games or so ? You'll learn for sure how not to rely on wolves :)

I play necro alot, 2 golems, 2 wights, 2 ghouls, 2 wolves, only one or two rr, and the rest as zombies.
wolfs are targeted by your oppenent, but protected they skill quickly, wights are good once have guard.
ghouls, one I use as a pass/surehands thrower with block, the other as a blocker.
zombies skill slowly but get block to start with, and so easily but if you kill an oppenent you get extra zombies.
once skilled necro are dangerous!!!!
