• The Good
  • Hits hard, and survivable.
  • Works nicely in several bloodlines
  • Works great as a Hammer unit
  • Riders of ruin
• The Bad
  • 39 points a model, hurts when you loose them.
  • 10” move
  • Need to charge to get max efficiency.
• Thoughts
  • You can build an army around them in Kastelai, or use them sprinkled in as a hammer unit toother bloodlines.
  • To get the most out of them they need buffs and to charge. If they stay locked in combat they will not shine without help.
  • Ways to buff:
    • All out attack/all out defense
    • Might of the Crimson Keep
    • Under a Killing Moon
    • Call to the Hunt / Crimson Feast
    • Tactical insight

 

• Unit Rating
  • A
    • Need to charge or be buffed a bit.
    • Could be a bit faster.

 

 

Vargheists

• Cost
  • 155
  • 3 models
• Notes:
  • Vampire
  • fly
  • Batteline in Legion of Night
• Max wound output:
  • 20
• Average wound output:
  • 8
  • Nothing great, need buffs

 

• The Good
  • 12” move
  • Deaths Descent
• The Bad
  • 6 points a model!
  • 4 wounds, 5+ , 6++ not very resilient.
• Thoughts
  • They are sort of in a middle ground. Not being bad at anything but not great at one thing. Other than Death Descent they are not that special. Dire wolves could fill a similar roll in the army.
  • I just feel they needed one more ability to make them worth their points.
  • Unit Rating
    • C+
      • Needs lots of buffs to make them worth their points.
      • Cost per model is high, will hurt when they die.
      • Direwolves and Fell Bats can serve similar function and probably do it better.
