Hi! :)
So this week I decided to get back into Warhammer. Turns out it's AoS now! Everything is crazy!
I got a bunch of stuff from the death faction, Vampire Counts were alway my favourite.
I'm struggling with deciding between Hexwraiths and Black Knights for a set I got.
Basically, I'm not really into the whole ghostly Lord of The Rings spirit-army colourscheme going on. But Hexwraiths just seem better for an army that isn't all skeleton based.
For me, I love the whole medieval vampire and skeleton aesthetic these types of armies can have with the black and red/purple etc.
Basically, am I going to regret trying to use more ethereal units or these days is it needed if I'm not going for Death Rattle exclusively and not focusing all my tactics on that.
And is there a good standard around I can check out for using another colourscheme on these types of units, like a purple or red one?
Short version:
I read a lot of topics but they seem to mostly be just about whether or not the extra attacks, rend immunity and the flyover ability make the ethereal unit better.
Visually I prefer Black Knights, unless someone knows a smart idea to "Countify" the ethereal stuff.
But are the Black Knights viable?
OR is there an even better unit I can use this kit for as a conversion?
