but I'm not sure it's enough to earn his points & hero slot in a competitive setting.
On the other handside, I kinda like the approach to not push some imba finecast filth for 30 bucks onto us.

The warscroll is definitely pretty good. But I wonder if "small beatstick hero" is actually a thing more competitve lists want in Gravelords.
True… since the signature spell only targets „summonable“ units (sad bloodknights) and the „court of the lost“ is only chosen during your herophase, so fixed for two turns
there is no real reason to take him over a generic VL or even Necro. Both stand behind their screens, buff and keep the heck outta dodge.
his 6hp on a 3+\6++ gets him killed when he tries to do active things
in skilled hands with Mannfreds or the Coven Throne he could make an interesting counter charge suicide piece 🤔 for 3,47 hits with 2MWs (6-7MWs), but without flying
More a fluff thing, like the small vyrkos heroes

Nagash needs to be on the battlefield and the receiving unit also needs to be on the battlefield
AND able to receive the buff…
(since it is „at the start…“,🙄
but things like „all out xy“ / „feeding frenzy“ are not possible afterwards)

soooo… do we dare hope?
all overly tall and beardless those pitslaves, no right sized well groomed person to look after them (with a whip)

So with everyone and their nan getting access to mortal wound saves, death is feeling less unique in that regard.
I was depressed, when Nurgle got their 5+ ward, just because back in the days overybody got salty when I spiked a ward save roll.
I think the real issue is a reliable balance with the ward saves. And looking at GDubs record, I think I‘d rather be not the meta, than having three month of wonky Nagash rolf stomp, before things get nerf-hammered into gravedust again.

read the action it's self, not the paragraph above it.
Keep it for extra friendly games 😇😈
but I loved the double healing for abhorrents, I‘m sure a double muster will find uses.
it might even make a 9+3 model units more viable, instead of my usual 6+6 approach, because regenerating 4-6 models is possible.

it needs to be proportional to the effect on the game.
That would be an interesting thing… 6+ without, 5+ within , 4+ wholly within 🤣

ut it would lighten the mental load.
It sure would, but on the other hand, I like the challenge 😁 although I ****** it up a lot of times. The whole switch from within to wholly within made positioning a lot more demanding. One overexcited pile in and things blow up.
I declare pushing around 4 megas and calling a redeploy not really playing a game.
rather loose by forgetting to activate my coven throne CA during Hero Phase or having uncontrollably bloodthirsty flying Bretonian knights-

I’m seriously stoked about this tidbit.
Yes, that opens up some interesting options…
not sure how that balances the varghulf vs infernal (vs Gk), but when a (6 flayer) unit gets lit, you don’t really need two courtiers for regen 🤔

I will warn that the blood knights are not nearly as much of a hammer as you may expect
This…
knights feel more like a hyper mobile anvil 🤣 but it hurts when it crashes into things…
With the GGs, overkill or stumbling is the trouble. They are so slow, getting them into position is tricky and crucial. Personally I rather have them mincing something suboptimal into a fine bloodsmoothy, than going for the big play and messing it up, which kinda is my signature move 🙈

take objectives and hopefully never die
That was true early AoS 2.0… I had fun with 2x40 skellis and 60 zombies corpse cart Necromancers and vampires and a coven throne flooding the board with goodness and regeneration.
then came the power creep and 40 skellis are not an unmovable object anymore (and don’t kill stuff either)belladamma (200) and a unit of puppies (135) would give you solid spellcasting and a mobile objective grabber. Or a venga lord (280) for the knights, ignore one rend makes knights very durable.
but I would suggest you just pitch your list against your meta and see what happens.

Can’t find anything which says no?
The „bias“ against summoned units was introduced after the recent FEC book and not extended via faqs…
you‘re good to go

Do y’all think this list has any potential
Not playing competitively, but the list looks pretty good.
I’m not sure about the amount of skellis… maybe more guards 🤔

Maybe better off with
Yes, maybe… but the wolves have trveness on their side and are much faster than skellis.
vhordrai still has the chalice iirc, but no CA and no artifact 🤔I would try out both, thinking the lord is a bit stronger

Did they get a +5 point increase somewhere?
110 iirc 🤔
with the right opponent and a GkoZd rerolling everything is possible -

The FEC list I posted above works really well.
Varghulf general Dark acolyte
Archregent
6 horror 10 ghouls
palisades
against low save (nurgle demons or Soulblight ) horrors can perform quite well. Especially with the kings reroll -

I have been doing a lot of 750 point training games with some new players.
Below 1500 is wonky af 🤣 but I think playing with the open war cards or other things reduces AoS to the fun parts and cuts down the high competitive side.
Arkhan Curse of year bombing, gristlegore GkoTg munching everything, well positioned Sky dwarf armada shooting you to shreds, all part of the game…

How would you play this list?
The list looks interesting, but general advice 🤔
Mannfred can be really annoying hopping around and his CA boosts knights . Remember to use their mobility and charge every round.
venga boy is also a nice buff piece. Not much damage, but suddenly knights are crazy tanky.
vordhrai to charge into the lines (mannis aura could also supercharge him) and wolves to secure a flank or snatch an objective.
but how to use all the pieces to their max potential against the variety of opponents and battleplans 🤷🏿♀️
shooting always stinks, giants are stupid too… 😅

should have a better way of generating CP
rule 4.1.1 on pg.7 (9 pdf)
player who takes priority gets 1CP, player who gets second turn gets 2 CP.
rule 6.0 on pg.7 (9 pdf)
if your general is on the battlefield at the start of the herophase (!ambush/deepstrike!) you will get an additional CP.rule 7.1 on pg. 8 (10 pdf)
Heroic action: Heroic Leadershipone hero on a 4+ that model get a CP to use. Add +2 to roll if your general is slain.
As stated above pack alpha lets the model issue a command without spending a CP
so there are many ways to generate CPs and of course many ways to spend them.especially with the „only one command per phase issue/receive“ it can be a bit tricky when what to order. Some things can stack (Mannfreds Aura and tactical insight are triggered during the hero phase)

Just grab som models
If you need to buy stuff…
Two Start collecting Boxes, the Archregent and you‘re good to go
maybe a Flayer box or two
grots gone wild tournament had a fancy list with four Flayer units, infernal , two kings on gheist and a regent 🧐 worked pretty well, but needs a careful hand

I could use sigvald bits
There is a Sigvald goes Vampire customization video on YouTube…
some paldrons and other stuff, but looked awesome

what advice would you give me?
Good advice 🤔
grab your models and dice and start playing again
things have changed quite a bit, with heroic and monster actions, also with the general commands, like all-out-defense/attack and one single command per phase per unit. Unit Champions can issue commands (feeding frenzy)…
overwatch is a thing now, redeploy too, so a lot to consider while moving and positioning also during opponents phase. CP are very valuable but can’t be bought any more.
archregent , king on gheist and flayers still the strongest and still very squishy
