Do you have in mind a particular tactic?

Also, on a related note, i think we'll se an increase in the number of small, cheap heroes as Gorslav or Tomb Banshee, as they are the key to unlock battalions that give the additional artefact.

 

[The Sun King]

I really like this list. It might lack punch, but I don't think it is such a big problem since this list will excel at winning objectives. Do you have a standard deployment in mind?

 

[Belladamma Voltaire]

I see this army as almost needing to leap frog itself to keep in range of all the various auras.

Standard deployment would likely be a refused centre with the heroes acting as flank guards, especially lady Annika and Kritza.

Deployment would be keeping Radukar, Gorslav and Torgillus behind the zombies with the Corpse Cart and the Kosargi Guard and use them to form a nearly immoveable anvil that when combined with the other heroes and units allows for an almost surgical application of force on the right places. Use the vampire heroes, the Terrorgheist and the black Knights to hit anything trying to wade through your horde. You're getting a load of free commands and points anyway because of Torg/Radukar and not needing them for the general.

I see tremendous potential with this list the more I think about it.

Yeah, I like it!
