Looks quite cool... like the concept of the hordes of zombies being raised and the focus on necromancers & mortis engine... ...and only 200 models to paint!  You'll be like me when I got my skaven painted... never wanted to paint a rat again!!!! |

well your grave guard are a rock hard unit... they'll counter a LOT of threats, especially if you have things pinned in place til they can get there... and I don't think MSU armies would be able to whittle down enough to pop you as long as you keep your numbers up (invocation is an area affect now right?)
terrorgeist is another hammer to send into a flank... I'm not sure what the mortis engine does in the actual rules, but generally the big things act as hammers or augments... if it's both - even better!

Yeah invocation is area and mortis gives regeneration token to all troops around 2D6 + number of turn and blast ennemy around and also with the upgrade give +2 to vamp lore... Now Im working on my ghoul list to see 2 different option

Ok so this one is close combat and ghoul concept I really like the concept too... will cost me a lot to buy 12 crypt horror tho  Pretty easy strat put the ghoul king with ghoul this guys has 5 A S7 reroll to hit and with red fury gets more attack... Mortis engine and Corpse chart stay behing horror and ghoul... Engine give regen 4+ to horror and 6+ to ghoul corpse char gives always strike first and terrorgheist goes for war machine or just scared people...what you guys think... Ghoul King Ogre Blade Talisman Preservation Red Fury Aura Dark Majesty Trickster Shard Total Heroes Necromancer Lvl 2 Corpse Chart Balefire Book of Arkhan Dispel Scrool Total Banshee Core 70 Ghoul / Champ Special 6 Crypt Horror 6 Crypt Horror Rare Terrorgheist Mortis Engine |

is that one block of 70 ghouls?
wow.. that's gonna hurt!
I really like the concept of the strigoi list... the only issue I see is you're a little light on magic defense with only a level 2 caster...
given the vamp book is so new, I'd proxy a few different lists to try out before you buy... (have only read bits and pieces of the book myself)

Yeah my only magic defense is the necro lvl 2 with -1 for casting on the corpse chart but the ghoul king is like 435 points and 130 slaves naked so I cant have a lvl 4... and yes Ill proxy for sure ill just get the engine for now cuz I love the model and rules
