The battalion is ok-ish. Clever opponents will be able to counter your off-the-table move quite easily, because you have to declare which edge you pick and they all have to stay 9” away from any of you opponent’s models. 3 units of Blood Knights and the Prince are really hard to fit. It helps you with keeping the drops low, but still not worth it IMHO. In addition, Vhordrai is only worth it if bringing a VLoZD, which is very strong in LoB. I would drop the Prince and the battalion and bring a VLoZD instead, with some more points to spare.
Then, dogs. Man, you need the dogs - they are really, really excellent. Chainrasps are also excellent in either small units to screen (but dogs are better to that end) or big units to camp on objectives. Smelliest are a bit meh.
Don’t go near Neferata - she dies to a stiff breeze and we don’t have the CP to fuel her CA. Your general HAS to stay alive to bring stuff back. Pick a VLoZD and give him the Orb (pick your fights wisely, though, and in some games is useless) or even better the Garments. Dark majesty is a must. Keep him alive!
The first list has legs, the second one, IMHO, does not stand a chance.
Thankyou for the reply! I was hoping someone would convince me they are good, it's a shame they are gorgeous but I agree forced general pick & I'm not using the CA 🤷 I did think that they could easily just not give me space to put them down.. but then if they did surely that's a lot of units they are leaving at home in their zone and they might be struggling to do that and take objectives? The other rationale for Vhordrai was using his CA on the occasions my Bloodknights are stuck in a combat with like 1-2 models I could have them delete them in the hero phase to free them up to charge down the next thing? Do you think that would work?
Think I'll get some wolves sometime they are good choice for minimum battleline but I kinda like my big chainrasp tanky block as a single max unit, survive until a blood knight gets there or chew them down, think I need something to incentivise my opponent to come out to them? I've been thinking of a version that has no battalion and 10 BKs & has the 40 rasp & Nef. If I make the 2 min lines dogs I could probably upgrade her to VLoZD to have it both ways. I do really like that second artifact though

Hi all! I've got a fair few death models but recently decided I wanted to repurpose to a more vampire orientated army. the LoB +1 attacks is pretty compelling too with some interesting artifacts to top it off.
I have 2 variations on a list I'd like some advice or feedback on. I'm trying to use some models I already own too.
I like the Castellans of the Crimson Keep Battalion its some units Id take anyway plus taking two artifacts is nice could take orb of enchantment to shut down if I need and then take something a bit silly like ring of domination. anyway, this.
- Battalion: Prince Vhordrai + 3x5 Blood Knights 1150pt
- Necro 130pt
- Vlord on steed 140pt
- Guardian of Souls 130pt
- 40 Chainrasp
- 2x10 Skellies
- Total 1990pt
Aim being the GoS & Necro support the big chainrasp down mid, Vlord as well. The battalion comes out the other side of the opponent and forces them to split their attention. Vlord could get over to the BKs to support them maybe? Id love the idea of soulscream bridge to get the Vlord in position to let the BKs reroll charges with the command trait but idk if I could fit that/swing that,
- Battalion: Prince Vhordrai + 3x5 Blood Knights 1150pt
- Necro 130pt
- Vlord 140pt
- Neferata 340pt
- 3x10 chainrasp
- Total 2000pt
Difference being I swapped the GoS and 30 rasps to fit in Neferata. Because I have the model & yes even though she takes up my general slot she is the blood queen & i think shes pretty cute. I feel like without the large block of chainrasp maybe the Necro is a bit redundant here but theres not many meaningful 130pt models i could replace with that I could think of? I feel witout that big rasp block also the midfield drive has no power & its all just a sandwich between Nef & the Castellans. Do you guys think Nef is worth taking at all? does anything think the second list looks good??
PS. Im fully aware I could save 20-30 pt taking dogs.

I've actually just came up with an idea I'm hoping someone has tried this before, not sure which would be better but both similar.

Wounds: 101The idea being you deploy reik, gos, the harrow, reapers and depending on list the 5 hexwraiths or the black coach. Then set up the banshees, bladegeists, spirit torment, any remaining hexwraiths in underworld. Turn 1 cast cogs with reik, gos cast tempo on its self to get extra 6 move. Harrow warps 9 away from enemy, and summons the 30 reapers to its side, reik, black coach and hexwraits already have good move and cogs and pendant help here too they all run if they need to down mid, then deep strike the banshees, blades, spirit torment, hexwraiths again depending on list and go all charges, and surely that's opponent surrounded turn 1?

The only differences being running reikenor or vamp lord and running with a 4+ save to mortal wounds or the additional-1 to being shot at with my knight of shrouds. I’m really looking forward to seeing how the hourglass runs on the table and how consistently it messes up my opponents charges
I'm going to be getting the mortality glass on the 30th I'm looking to use it more for the retreat to charge, fishing for more wave of terrors with my reapers, could crash your reapers right into a unit, move up chainrasp. Next turn you Translocate your reapers over the top, charge your chainrasps into the unit weakened by the reapers and charge your reapers deeper into the next nearest unit, blades can already do this, I don't know how this would work in practice though anyone tried this strat?

What's peoples take on the executioners horde? Seems like a pretty solid batallion and a way to make a pretty descent hero a pain in the ass for your opponents, if you make him general, with ruler of spirits and midnight tome?
I've little experience seeing in actual game but my feeling on it is if you do this you could consider taking lady olynder and maybe even black coach and have her be your general for the synergy with bringing back multiple spirit host units, also she can deal mortal wounds behind your unkillable executioner plus hosts. Maybe give him an offensive artifact so he can get to work? Or just MORE minus to hit?

Have seen this battalion actually, you can take hexwraiths in the army anyway can't you does it have to be as allies? Could be a cheaper way of getting that second artifact 🤔 Hexwraiths being summonable is a nice plus for gravesite use too I guess!
