Boombatty80 Posted May 21, 2018 Share Posted May 21, 2018 Hey all. Been away from the hobby for a long time & I'm back in the deep end heading to GT heat 3 in a few weeks. Asking a bit of advice on my lists. Currently got this in mind. However I'm flexible & could make some reasonable changes to it swiftly if needs be. Any and all suggestions are very welcome. Allegiance: Legion of BloodLeadersNeferata Mortarch Of Blood (400)- Lore of the Dead: Soulpike (Vampires)Vampire Lord On Zombie Dragon (440)- Deathlance & Shield & Chalice- Artefact: Ring of Dominion - Lore of the Vampires: Amaranthine OrbNecromancer (110)- Lore of the Deathmages: Overwhelming DreadBattleline5 x Dire Wolves (60)5 x Dire Wolves (60)30 x Skeleton Warriors (240)- Ancient BladesUnits5 x Blood Knights (260)5 x Blood Knights (260)5 x Hexwraiths (160)Total: 1990 / 2000Allies: 0 / 400Wounds: 120 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smucreo Posted May 21, 2018 Share Posted May 21, 2018 What do the hexwraiths accomplish in the list? And I'd suggest going for a unit of 40 skellies instead of having 30 in there, I'd give you much better results and it's only 40 points more.

Boombatty80 Posted May 21, 2018 Author Share Posted May 21, 2018 I thought they'd be fairly useful as a harrassing flanking unit. If I dropped them and bumped up to 120 that gives me 130 points free... How's that best spent (assume money isn't an object). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smucreo Posted May 21, 2018 Share Posted May 21, 2018 From the original list: You could drop the Necro for a Vamp lord (give Nef the Necro spell and the vamp lord whatever you want), up one unit of wolves to 10 and the skellies to 40 and drop the hexwraiths. That would be my suggestion. But assuming money isn't a factor I'd add drop Nef and put another VLoZD in her place. That has given me much better results in testing and puts you exactly at 2k. Oh and if you went this route I'd take Amethystine Pinions on one of the VLoZD, Amarathine Orb on the other and Vile Transference on the Vamp lord on foot.

Boombatty80 Posted May 21, 2018 Author Share Posted May 21, 2018 NIce, but that would lose me Vanhels on the skellies. I'll drop the Hex guys and bump up the one unit of wolves to ten and add another unit. Fast and fun. I love Nef too much to ditch her. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smucreo Posted May 21, 2018 Share Posted May 21, 2018 As you wish, but I'd say that on this kind of lists the Skellies aren't really supposed to function as damage dealers, that's why I suggested dropping the necro. If you are going to add the extra 5 wolves may I suggest just using two units of 10 for better survivability? Both options have their merits but it's what I'd take. In any case use what you have fun with, and good luck! EDIT: I would still try to take Amesthystine Pinions no matter what though, in a fast list it's amazing on your big monsters.

Boombatty80 Posted May 21, 2018 Author Share Posted May 21, 2018 Noted. I ought to read the spells in more detail now the list is fixed up a bit more. Cheers for the input. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dracothjay Posted May 22, 2018 Share Posted May 22, 2018 Legion of blood is naturally built to be a faster, more aggressive legion. You already have a -1 to hit command ability from NEF, so overwhelming dread on a necro is overlapping (unless u want a -2 to hit?) id ditch the wraiths and necro. Make that skellies unit a block of 40 then maybe add a VL flying horror in with vilentransference to heal neferata or blood knights? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xspire Posted May 22, 2018 Share Posted May 22, 2018 As you're going to the GT I will assume you're pretty competitive, so in that case I would recommend: Swapping Nef for a second VLoZD Swap the Necro for a VL If you're keeping both the units of Blood Knights (there is an arguement to be made for only having one but two could still work), then you need to keep the 40 skeletons. Finish off with 3 x 5 Wolves 2000 on the dot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
