i have to say, i was quite disappointed with the fact that the fell bats, bat swarms, spirit hosts and black knights weren't updated.
so, in the meantime, i don't take bat swarms, my fell bats are OOP undead carrion (not tomb kings, the older ones with the lil robed midgets riding), my black knights are bretonnian knights with the heads, shields, and lance arms replaced with the undead equivalent. as for spirit hosts, i will GS some, or just paint some random models to look the part of ghosts.
i was hoping for some new wraiths and banshees, even though the old wraiths are ok, never was a fan of the banshees. ah well.
i personally like the new vampire models, especially the winged vampire. he looks like a battle hardened, supernatural, no mercy, no remorse kinda brute. i think it fits the battlefield more than a dracula-esque vampire running around with oiled back james dean hair, yelling in a transylvanian accent "i'm going to suck your blooood".
i guess it's all personal preference though.
to start with, i hated the new dire wolves and ghouls. i needed more wolves so i bit the bullet, but for ghouls, i used a spare box and half of kroot and converted them to have bones, sticks, rocks (no tech), to look more like ghouls than 40k... eventually i got ghouls only cuz they came in the army box, so i put them together and got a good look at them, and now think they are quite great! i just didn't give any of them the "retarded" heads
