Right? I love the bloodsucking cruise missile. Cheap, fighty, vampire
To me all Death factions are attrition based. Pick your flavor of summonable returning stuff. That hasnt changed since AoS has existed. Now you dont have to go that route and you could go for the more elite style of lists but ultimately thats not what Death has ever been about...
Slow ever advancing lines of bodies that get back up when they fall controlled by their overlords. Thats Death.
