[Starting Vyrkos Dynasty Vamps]

A bit of progress. This is going to be my bannerman. I went through a few schemes before I decided to just do this. Nothing fancy but I can replicate it on the others with time saving via airbrush 

[Starting Vyrkos Dynasty Vamps]

I haven't gotten much painting done. It's just too hot inside and too nice outside. But I've gotten most of my building done. 

I have 10 more graveguards, 10 ghouls I think I'll use as zombie plus the ghoul lord dude left

Brings me to

Vamp on zombie dragon

Rad the wolf

Granny on a wolf

Crimson court

20 skeletons 

20 graveguard

3 vargulfs

10 ghoul/zombies

5 blood knights

30 wolves

5 black knights

And 1 scratch built/kitbash WIP Corpse Cart

Haven't started the Blood Knights but I did get down on this new model the Mounted Wight King. Sorry for the amateur pics. They don't do the weathering justice

Very nice! I like the chunkier Blood Knights, feels more like the beasts that they are supposed to be. New sculpts are good but like you said, not fitting for Vykros or Avengorii.

Are these just the new Chaos Knights with filed iconography and Space Wolf heads and bits?

Yes to your questions. There's some putty work and a few blood angels bits. I'll do more 360 profiles as they get painted

Due to inability of nab me a set of the new blood knights I've sat around scheming on rules and stuff. Which has pushed me into the Vyrkos Dynasty. Now the new blood knights don't exactly fit visually in my opinion and although not the ultimate synergistic choice of a unit, they still can keep up in speed and lay the smack down. So I decided to make a more rugged looking unit. Its pretty basic. Some space wolves bits and shaving off most of the chaos stuff. The dude with the wolf cape will eventually get a banner of some sort. I was thinking of a wolf howling at a moon standing on a rock and maybe some dark silhouettes of wolves with yellow eyes running below him. 

If anyone knows where to find cool iconography ideas for vyrkos I'd be very appreciative.  Thanks for looking, feel free to comment what you think. I like feedback, suggestions and love to help with the hobby

Not sure if you are aware, but the Broken Realms: Morathi book introduced rules for Har kuron city, which is basically the old Dark Elf units that ended up in CoS, and allows 1 in 4 units to be from DoK.  So you can bring them all back together again in one army if you want to.  Didn't want to mention spoilers in case you are a lore fan, but it's well worth a read.

I barely know anything about AoS except that the model line actually greatly improved which has carried over to 40k.  Of course Nagash is basically never going away like Orochimaru...also there's wierd alliances now that seem to be based upon the different levels of structure and civility regardless of what morals steer those factions in those areas. It seems morathi is a con, got exposed, decided to double down on the con and then somehow absorbed all clout meant for Khaine and reached God mode.  Which seems kinda cool. It doesn't matter to me really. dark elves just are the coolest looking elves.  Though I don't like the majority being females from a lore perspective. I rather enjoyed the more uncommon females. Because they mostly were the biggest manipulators and some of the most deadly fighters around. 

I also bought a lot KO stuff. I like the aspect of Flying Stunty Soldiers of Fortune..

I really appreciate the information.  I like the idea of using everything dark elves.  I'm still wondering about the Shadowstalkers from warcry. Is there a way to field that as a unit in AoS? Or do they just have a mixed squad formed from other units available?

The new DoK book is one of the rare instances where you really can just play with whatever units you like, all of the options are basically good, or at least workable.  If you don't like Witches you can lean towards snakes and it's perfectly fine, for example.

The Anvilguard stuff is a little more complicated, you can ally in whatever units you want from Cities of Sigmar, but the DoK book is so well-rounded you probably don't really need to, but there's nothing stopping you doing so by any means and it won't hurt fun lists too much.

I've only really skimmed through the book. Mostly because I dont know all the rules for the game anyways. 

I may be wrong but I was under the impression that maybe some DoK bonuses are only available if your whole army is DoK. If not then I may use them they look way cooler than say the witch elves..maybe proxy them. 

Where do the shadow stalkers fit into the army? I only have battle scribe ...I can't see where to add them although I've been told it's possible

Finally I am able to like the fantasy side again.

I really like daughters of khaine, I like the warcry stealth team and the anvilgard. 

I got the new dok/hedonites box, start collecting dok and the shadowstalkers. Wondering if all these dark elves can work together and not suffer any substantial penalties. Probably going to buy the anvilgard anyways if it's not good to ally them. Great models and bits for Salamanders and Alpha legion. 

I guess I should get some witch elves too but I don't like those models much.

Anyways any help or advice on getting started would be great. 

From the first 2 boxes 

I made 10 spear snake ladies

5 shooty snake ladies

5 Winged ladies with spears
