Another trick Bakfire pointed out to me against Vamps who charge with Vanhels....

Frog scroll on the vampire as they cast Vanhels. The charge goes off, but the Vamp gets 1's for stats. Easily killed by clanrats or slaves.

I'm pretty sure that'd still work against transformed Vampires.

Wow that scroll would really be nasty on a tooled up combat vamp since they usually run as level 1 or level 2 at most.

Oh, in this game before the chimeras came out I hit his 600+ point unit of 10 Black Knights and BSB with the 13th Spell.  They became a unit of 10 clanrats which then flank-charged a unit of 20 wolves and butchered them what good.  That was the highlight of the game.

Highlighted by the fact that black knights can't be targeted by the 13th spell. ;)

On the chimera....you had caused 3 wounds. Next turn, you flubbed on your dispel roll. Bad rolls happen. Had you dispelled the spell there, the vampire was dead.

You missed a bunch of rules bits and opportunities. Now you know better. Live and learn. :)

MUTATE: And +3A +3S is better because for the casting cost, you get relatively more without the huge miscast risk, and you benefit from your weapons and magic items. You remain a wizard. And most importantly, you won't have it dispelled in the following magic phase at 15+.

Clearly I should just stick to painting.

Poppycock! Clearly you should get back to the battlefield and battle once more, showing those vampires why Skaven are the master race!

Transformation of Kadon is one of those spells that looks super scary, but the more you look at the limitations, the more you see that there's a lot better spells most of the time.

Still...when you get it off with the right character at the right time, you can cause 13-14 wounds pretty easily (assuming it's a character with hatred/rerolls to hit). It's all about gambling on the timing.
