Right then this is what I have been running lately and was wondering what you think of the list. Before it is said I know I'd benefit from the Mortis Engine but fell as thought it would betray the Strigoi theme

Character selection is very solid. I like to take more arcane toys like Power Stone on M Necro and Channeling Staff on Strigoi, personally.

The ghouls and Horrors are a bit tricky. I feel like at 2400 you don't have enough to have 2x of each and have them viable. In my experience, 8 is the magic number for Horror unit sizes. I've never tried to run 2 units.

I love the rare setup; I run the same @2500.

So I'd either drop 1 unit of ghouls and/or horrors to buff the others, or drop a varghulf to buff them. You might be able to get away with just have 1 zombie bunker (more core pts for ghouls/dogs)

The biggest problem with this list is the lack of chaff. Maybe try 1 unit of 40 ghouls, throw in 2x5 dogs, switch the horrors to 1x8, and then max out on fell bats, and take 1 bat swarm (or spirit hosts, if its not too fluffrapey for you).

I'd rather have 2 varghulfs and 1 8-man unit of horrors than 1 VG, 2x6 CH

I would like to see the ghouls melded into one huge unit instead of two dinky ones. Other than that it looks very solid.

I'm not all that keen on the VC chaff to be honest. O&G has chaffed me out.

If I were to use the ghouls as head on hammers I would agree with the larger unit size but I often find that they are better off in a flank charge which haa worked well with the exception of a dwarven thane in longbeard bus with an oathstone. That I really should have seen coming.

Funny, i find my hosts, dogs and bats critical for dealing with manglers, squig herds, fanatics, chariots, and warmachines
