What's your favourite Soulblight rule?

[Oppenheimer]

I really like the leadership debuffs from Deathrattle and Deadwalker units. -1 leadership to non-Death enemy units within 6", up to -2 if the enemy is within range of two such units. Couple that leadership debuff with a nearby terrorgheist or an allied tomb banshee and let our old scream shenanigans ensue! One thing that I think is probably getting overlooked is that the rule applies to Wight Kings as well; our Wight Kings now have a 6" radius -1 leadership bubble. We can also increase that leadership debuff bubble to -2 for units within 3" by giving a Wight King the Legion of Blood command trait Soul-crushing Contempt. A Wight King General accompanying a unit of skeletons or graveguard could give a cumulative -3 leadership to non-death enemy units! I hate that we don't have a choice for a Vampire Lord on steed anymore but I really think the mounted Wight King is a fantastic Hero/General choice with the 7 wound profile, 12" move, D3 impact mortal wounds during a charge, and making graveguard a battleline choice.

I guess that means that besides just Wight Kings it also worked for Watch Captain Halgrim or Gorslav the Gravekeeper if you have any of Radukar's court, as they are also Deathrattle and Deathwalker respectively.

I think our book is quite solid, it performs top tier according to Warhammer community' most recent Metawatch article. That bodes quite well for the longevity of the book in terms of power level.

To continue on my original question here is a folllow up: what is the rule in SBG book that you are most likely to forget?

For me it has to be the double cast allegience ability.

Reading our book and thinking to the battletome of my beloved Nighthaunts, all i can do is laugh maniacally while screaming "power! Unlimited power!!!"

A negligible bonus, but i'm 100% sure i will forget the Deathrattle Skeletons' ability "reroll 1s for Deathless minions".
When i play 40k, necron warriors have the ability to reroll 1s on reanimation protocols and i ALWAYS forget it.

Good example. It's such a non-rule, too. It only triggers once for every 36 incoming wounds, at most you would expect it to save like 2 or 3 wounds total over the course of an entire game.

Legion of Blood: Immortal Majesty. I just love the imagine of a vampire being so unnaturally commanding or terrifying their foes cannot help to flee in terror (or awe?). Resonates with me in the same manner as WHFB 'fear' and 'terror' rules.

Definitely! And it is also a quite strong ability to be honest - combine it with a mounted Wight King riding alongside your Black Knights (that are battleline) and you also give -2 to bravery.
