Editing Warhammer/Tactics/8th Edition/Vampire Counts (section)

====Enchanted Items====

*''Wizarding Hat:'' 100 points, bearer is a level 2 Wizard in a random spell lore but has Stupidity. Since the only two options that can afford it are already level 1-3 Wizards there is literally no reason to ever take this.

WAIT- it could technically grant access to the lore of life. In massive points games, you could therefore have access to every single lore!!!

*''Fozzrik's Folding Fortress:'' 100 points, deploy a Watchtower on your side of the field in the deployment zone. Since your army relies on Close Combat and you don't really have any ranged options, this is a terrible choice. It's possible you can stick a caster in it and use it as a bunker, but your army would still need to be close by to get use out of it which goes back to the main problem; you need to be in Close Combat, you have no ranged options, your opponent probably does. If it moved, you could deploy it anywhere, or was in the middle of the field under your control things would be different.

*''Arabyan Carpet:'' Grants Fly for 50 points to an option on foot. They cannot join a Unit. The only application is a Flying Necromancer or Wight King, but WHY would you want that?

*''Crown of Command:'' Grants Stubborn for 35 points. Your army is Unbreakable, once again there's no reason to take this.

*''Healing Potion'' 35 points, one use. At the start of the turn, recover D6 Wounds. Not really a terrible choice, but it fulfills the same role as Invocation. So unless you can think of a situation where you'd want it, skip it.

*''Featherfoe Torc'' 35 points. Flying creatures and their riders reroll successful rolls to hit the bearer and their Unit in Close Combat. Good for tailoring a list, but there's not really a guaranteed need for it. It's main use is if you fear warmachine hunters going for your caster bunker.

*''Ruby Ring of Ruin'' 25 point Bound Spell, level 3, Fireball spell. Meh. Double meh. 

*''The Terrifying Mask of EEE!'' 25 points to cause Terror. The only thing in your army that doesn't cause Fear is the Necromancers, who will NOT be by themselves; so no, don't ever take this. 

*''Potion of Strength'' 20 point one use item, used at the start of either player's turn. User has +3 Strength for that turn. Eh...no. Probably not. 

*''Potion of Toughness'' Also 20 points, one use, used at the start of either player's turn. User has +3 Toughness for that turn. More useful, especially on a Strigoi Ghoul King, but still not particularly handy in most scenarios.

*''The Other Trickster's Shard'' 15 points. Models in base contact with the bearer reroll successful Ward Saves. It's a good "fuck you" to High Elves, and can be situationally useful in many scenarios against other armies. Not a bad choice for an offensive character, or any character WITH an offensive Unit. 

*''Ironcurse Icon'' 5 points, bearer and their Unit have 6+ Ward Save against warmachines. Great for 5 points, a 6+ ward on a unit is better than nothing, especially when it's a massive horde.

*''Potion of Foolhardiness'' 5 points, same rule as the other two lower point potions, grants Immune to Psychology and Devastating Charge. If you took a Vamp with Flying Horror this can be situationally useful, but as is? Nope. 

*''Potion of Speed'' 5 points, same as the other potions, +3 Initiative. Probably not. Wight King could benefit (how?) but still, not a good choice.
