Kastelai 2k

[El Syf]

So this is the list I'm toying with, I don't actually have all the Blood Knights yet but wanted others thoughts.
The Fell Bats are more of an insurance against unleash hell than anything else. And the plan would be for the Blood Knights Prince V and Manfred to be ultra aggressive and the skegs with the Vamp to hold back on an objective. I don't play in tournaments so this would just be for fun games.

Looks pretty solid. The skeletons are meant as a bunker for your VL?

Yep, idea being the command trait and artefact should let them stick around and cause that bit extra damage if they do wind up in combat, I know master of retaliation does d3 mortals on a 2+ instead of a 3+ but the vamp might not survive to the end of the phase so thought the risk in a 3+ was more worth it.

Some ideas on how to optimize the list (minor stuff really):

I would switch Amarathine Orb for Soulpike. I don't think the damage output for Orb is any good and with Soulpike you can dictate the movement a bit more. Good pick with Pinoins on Vhordrai though, he will gain so much by those 6" inches.

I think I would switch Beacon of Bloodshed for Swift and Deadly, just to make your slow skellie unit a bit faster when they charge.
