i'd say no dragon, so you can get ethereal prince and that sweet -x to hit bubble.

If you cast dark mist on your blood knights, you will save on 4+ even if they have no rend thought. I feel like the only good target of that spell is either prince vhordrai or VLOZD without the ethereal amulet.

First list I think will be stronger but I would definitely take double vile transference because Neferata is going to be wiped off the board turn 1 or 2 depending on the opponent and you will want the healing later on.

I don't feel like Neferata is a very big threat, why would an enemy team focus her ? Only because of etheral spell or her CA ?

Why not using vhordrai ?

I'm not very experienced but I feel like I would prefer option 3. I'm starting to enjoy that goblet, I didn't know it was that strong before!

(I don't know how to edit my last post)

Then again, is it worth to pay 150 pts for crimson keep battalion if you are not going to use the deepstrike function? 

Extra command point is nice, extra artefact also and reroll failed hits on BK very good, but a good player could try and move around this and avoid a battlefield edge.

@Death1942 That's what i felt too. I played an heavy objective game and I had to go for heavy aggression to kill the enemy team fast to win. I was forced to deploy in akwards spots since my adversary kept placing he's units to prevent having 9'' empty spaces.

@TMS Thanks, I'll keep the command trait and I will try to not use the deepstrike next time. I will deploy the battalion and finish setting up first (only have like 4 units to deploy) then pick 2nd turn to play. 

I picked too vile transference because I play very aggressive with my general and vhordrai, so I wanted a healing option + chalice in case it went south. But I will try to go less aggro next time and perhaps pick something else. Perhaps vile transference on Vampire Lord on nightmare, Pinions on VLOZD and soulpike on vhordrai. Thanks again guys !

Thx Charlo,

I didn't read right sacchirine goblet, I will take it next time! As for the deepstriking, it's just that you have to make a 9'' charge when you arrive from your battlefield edge, so I thought sigil of sanguine throne would be good to save command points if I fail a charge. 

As for pinions, it's a good idea for sure. 

Would you change the command trait mist form? Or you think it's a good one ?

Hi guys,

I'm pretty new to soulblight and warhammer aos in general and I tried this list yesterday against orcs:

2000 pts

Swift death

-Vordrai -> vile transference

-VLOZD general -> vile transference -> mist form -> ethereal amulette  

-VL on nightmare -> amaranthine orb + soulblight artefact to reroll charges once per charge phase

3x5 BK

3 vargheist

Battalion crimson keep

I barely won, I didn't play very well, but I will improve next time.

I was wondering if anyone had any thoughts on the crimson keep battalion with soulblight? 

If used, how can it be used effectively? I had difficulties utilizing the deep strike function properly...

Do you guys have any improvement ideas? I felt like the vampire lord on nightmare couldn't do ******, but I wanted an extra hero to have the artefact from the battalion...   

Thanks !
