I think this list would be incredibly fun to play. I think I could make it work in a fun/relaxed environment. My only real critique is the amount of redundancy that we get with the vamp lord. HKB isn’t really necessary if you already have poison. The st. of the vamp lord should do a good job decreasing enemy armour saves….HKB is alright vs. monsters and big stuff that regular KB cant hande….but so is poison…and between the two I think poison will just work better in situation where you would want to use HKB. Secondly, the ASF on the… Read more »
You can’t roll to wound if you poison hit, says it in the rules. Also if you give him a magic weapon he’ll loose his poison so is it worth it? I’d say not. Personally I think poison is better than killing blow just because statisically you’re more likley to get it off, espescially with hatred every turn. Think you need another vampire or necromancer. relying on 1 level one and a level two is a bit risky for summoning. I was thinking that you’re a bit light on infantry, but then I realised that you have the crypt horrors.… Read more »
So does anybody know any good Vargheist proxies?
It’s difficult to find models with enough pubes to use as a realistic proxy 😉
It sounds like you’ve examined the official models rather closer than I have is all I will say…
These from troll outpost are a little too demon like, but swapping out the heads would work fine. Bonus, more than one pose.

Always loved this winged vamp, which would proxy well for a vargheist, making more than one pose would be a modelling challenge.

I’ve got the Heresy Man-Bat… it’s much too small for a Vargheist… he’s 33mm (but with huge wings).
Perfect for a Flying Vampire/Vampire Lord/Ghoul King though. 🙂
Thanks for the review and feedback guys. Looking back I did kinda over spec the lord, making it a bit of a points sink. I guess the theme was for a kick ass general with the ability to knock big holes in enemy units. Magic was built for a) raising more troops and b) magic defence, hoping to get the flyers into the enemy wizards or wizard mini bunkers. Not played the varghiests enough yet, but worried about them being redirected out of the action… Ghouls have been seen as a fail in the new book, but I think they… Read more »
I think you’re right on the ghouls being to cheap before, but when a skellie is just 5 points now it exhorbates the price hike. However they always were good. So they probably are still good.
