It’s a grave situation, but this is a great time to be a fan(g) of all things undead… Alright, enough with the puns and on to the reveals. Mortisan Ossifector Deathless Minions has been improved, giving all of your Gravelords a ward save of 6+ regardless of if they are within range of a Hero or not. This resin kit from Forge World is designed to fit perfectly with the plastic Warbringer Nemesis Titan . We don’t know about you, but we don’t fancy our chances against one of those giant cannons. Although, if we had a choice between fighting that and the next guy on our list, we’d take the cannon every time.

The preview also revealed new Deathrattle Skeletons. Infantry units that are intended to make up the core of a Soulblight army, they can be customised with swords or spears. And joining them on the frontlines are the new Deadwalker Zombies. The squishiest infantry of the Soulblight force, they’re a horde unit, intended to fill up your army’s ranks and overpower enemy units through the sheer weight of their shambling, decaying flesh. Radukar The Wolf/Beast: Some minor changes, with the Beast still being…well…a Beast. Can no longer summon a free unit of Wolves as discussed earlier in the review. He can however now move D6″ at the end of any phase in which he took damage. A mesmerising gallery of photographs and battle scenes showing the mighty vampire hordes in glorious battle This was always going to be a strong Bloodline thanks to the vast array of characters, and the rules for them only strengthen the case. Kastelai Dynasty Joel practically paints armies in the time it takes other people to build a single kit, so he was eager to get started on a new force for this challenge. Almost too eager. Sort of excessively eager.Equally all the Veteran Abilities, Quests and Territories have a Soulblight feel to them, and narrative players will have a blast integrating these into a campaign. Askurgan Trueblades: The Warcry Vamps are here, and have the same Warscroll as published on WarCom. This review feel more as a review done because you must do it after get free mats of gw and feel as you havent spend many time reading it because you havent said almost nothing and only some glimpse here and there and getting things wrong as the coven throne who you confused with the reliquary While vampires often deign to fight on their own, at the head of a horde of skeletal minions, some come together to form dark knightly brotherhoods and take to the field mounted atop fearless undead steeds. These Blood Knights charge headlong into enemy formations with an arrogant disregard for danger, trampling their way across entire units of soldiers and skewering what few remain on the end of their lances. Blades of Shyish – has an aura doing a mortal wound to everything in 12″. Not the greatest damage output but can certainly do some splash damage to weaken things, especially if it goes off on a 9+

As with all of the current edition of Battletomes, you have a choice of subfaction, represented here by the Cursed Bloodlines (Dynasties).Finally the Standard of the Ulfenwatch lets you roll a dice whenever your opponent spends a CP, on a 4+ you gain a CP. Given the pressure on your heroic actions, this can get you a good command economy going. On the tabletop, the variety of Vyrkos Heroes, including Radukar the Beast and Belladamma Volga, all count as generals if taken in a Vyrkos army. That makes them a great option for players who like strong support from leaders and Wizards. The artefacts continue to be stand out, with Sword of the Red Seneschals adding +1 to wound for units within 12″ of the bearer if they slew a model this turn, Bloodsaint’s Shield giving -1 to Casting within 6″ and Fragment of the Keep giving the enemy -1 to wound within 6″. All around really good artefacts here, Kastelai is a strong contender for second place. Especially since many will want to run those gorgeous new Blood Knights that came out. Avengorii Dynasty
