A varghulf with regen supporting one flank and that unit combo on the other sounds too goood to be true! In larger game I will take a terrorgheist.

Ive found some chaos knights steeds on a bits website so I might get one of them and just swap the vampire model like you said. Its probably easier that way. I might try the archaon conversion when im more experienced.

Is there anyway to make the archaon model removable? I would like to use him on a zombie dragon too.

I was think along them lines. I was originally going to take the dreadlance as I thought thats how the rules worked but then was worried I wouldnt have many points left for anything else. Thanks for the clear up.

so i could have a vampire modelled with a lance but take the blood drinker or frost blade as my magic weapon? sorry if this sounds stupid!

Ive read somewhere that you have to take the mundane weapon to get the magic one so dread knight only gives you a magic lance but not a sword. Is this right? Is the red duke book out yet as the black library website says november?

that sounds a really easy conversion. sometimes i see what others have done and think wow and then forget about the simple conversions. i like the look of archaon's mount as it looks really powerful partly undead.

I wish I could convert models like that it awesome! Is that a dragon prince steed? I was thinking of buying making both a zombie dragon and terrorgeist anyway so I would have a spare blood dragon anyway. Im trying to keep conversion minimal at the moment as I dont have the skills yet.

Ive got a VERY old WD somewhere (1999 i think) that had a model labelled the red duke and its still on the collectors page of the GW website. Yeah the new model look amazing. Ive got a friend who plays bretonnia and he said that the red duke is in their background too so it seem perfect to get...

My use for them would be to target warmachines and skirmishers. Ive got another thread on this forum for a werewolf vampire to lead a unit of dire wolves but that would only be for large games where I can take a few characters and then I would use the unit for bigger things. Varghulfs seem to be...

I hope this is the right place and hasn't been asked before but I was wondering how you could make the red duke from the army book? Ive read a lot about him in background books and our army book but cant find any rules for him. Is he just a vampire lord with powers from the martialle options...

Im still trying to understand the whole undead rule but this is why i love vampire counts! What you be a useful choice to keep dire wolves moving? I dont want them to be sitting targets! Like you say a varghulf and black knights would be better as that combination is far more manouverable and...

How well would black knights and blood knights work together? Im thinking this combo down one flank with a varghulf and dire wolves down the other and then a solid centre of ghouls, zombies, skeletons and grave guard in the centre with the characters spread out. This seams the most common tactic...

ok so would grave guard be a better option as my main combat unit with black knights used as support for this unit? Would it be a good idea to put my general in this unit to keep them moving or a CC vampire chracter instead? Or could a wright king bsb do the same thing? I dont want to take risks...

Its helpful not a lecture! I have misunderstood invocation of nehek with regards to raising or havent explained myself properly. I was going to use the vampire or necromancer to replace losses to units during combat or shooting. I now understand where I was wrong. As you said only zombies can be...
