===Characters=== '''Vampire Count''' Top 3 best characters in the game. Debates erupt if its better or worse than the Chosen Lord of WDG, vampires have better access to regaining wounds, but WDG have more murder options and their army doesn't crumble if he dies. High Res, high Str, a stupid number of attacks and incredibly fast for a model on foot. Making it a wizard apprentice is free and you should always do at least that if just for spamming your H spell. Vampire counts are expensive, 330 points of expensive, and you will be dumping more into them to tailor them to your needs and pump their defenses (they have no save of any kind vanilla). Expect to dump 450+ points into your count, but they are hard to take down and will make their points back in murder and reanimations. '''Vampire Courtier''' Only a minor reduction in stats from the count for less than half the price. Same as the count though, you will be dumping a lot of points into giving them defenses and tailoring them to your needs. Can be a BSB, but you don't really need one being an undead army, just put the points into making them a wizard apprentice (is cheaper anyways) and spam the H spell, it's better value for you. '''Necromancer''' Your cheapest vanilla character, but you will be putting spending at least 200 points on him so you can have a functioning spellcaster. Your access to alchemy, which is a good answer to high armor enemies and some great buffs to your hordes, but be aware if you choose alchemy that necromancer cannot become the Master if your general bites the dust. '''Barrow King''' Can be your BSB and functions mainly as a bodyguard for your necromancer. Only bother with one of these if you have a Necromancer general, you'll want one to take shots for them. Otherwise, just get Grave Guard for the same vanilla price and you'll get better value out of them. '''Fell Wraith''' a little ghost assassin. A decent number of attacks at meh strength but AP 10. Only bother with the great weapon if your opponent is only high res models, will help you crack elite units or duel other characters. '''Banshee''' Trash attacks, but can cry at enemies? Hard pass. The only upside is it can be used as a short ranged shooting attack, but even then you should rely on your positioning and not waste points on a banshee. ====Character Mounts==== '''Skeletal Steed''' quick and a nice armor boost. Gives your character ghost step so they can roll with barrow knights if you want. You have better mounts for your vampires, but for necromancers or barrow kings it's a good speed and survivability boost. '''Spectral Steed''' Same as the skeletal version, but -1 armor but can fly at the same speed as well. Don't bother, Ghost Step is just as good as fly and it isn't worth the points. '''Cadaver Wagon''' Necromancer only. Provides a great buff to all units nearby, core units get a fortitude 5+, non core get 6+, and ghasts get pumped up to 4+. It's great to have one, taking it here or in the special section is really up to you to how spooked you are about putting your necromancer onto the frontlines. '''Court of the Damned''' Your other support platform, A large buffing to your offense. Enemy units nearby suffer -2 agility and Defense, against standard agility armies now your skeletons are hitting first and can make all the difference. *'''Blood Ties: Lamia''' Must get aegis 4+ for a lot of points. If you can you want it. '''Shrieking Horror''' Only available to Strigoi Counts. Will pump your HP and Res a lot, but has no armour besides Fortitude 5+. It makes up for this by being a monster in combat, but you'll need to spam magic to keep it alive. '''Monstrous Revenant''' Will buff up your HP and Res a bit, but you take it for the attacks with poisoned attacks and lethal strike. It is a great force multiplier, but you won't be able to hide the character and expect them to get pewed at. '''Zombie Dragon''' Count only. Not as killy as the horror, but with incredible defenses. 4+ armor, Fortitude 6+, and distracting. A great option, but it will cost you as much as another Count. '''Colossal Zombie Dragon:''' for 100 more points, Zombie Dragon Can be made tankier. will cost you as much as another equipped Count.
