	*Corpse Carts and Mortis Engines provide solid allies that boost your casting, which is crazy good for Flesh-Eaters who rely a LOT on magic. Mortis Engines are probably best, since they are tough, boost casting, can deal lots of mortal wounds and can heal your guys. Corpse Carts are a little squishy and don't do much other than buff Deadwalkers units, which you have little use for.		*Corpse Carts and Mortis Engines provide solid allies that boost your casting, which is crazy good for Flesh-Eaters who rely a LOT on magic.

	*Dire Wolves are decent, being relatively fast. HOWEVER, as badass as undead royal hunting hounds may look ~~like~~ ,they synergize not even a little bit with your guys. Try not to use them. Zombies are pretty meh, as they require you to commit a lot of resources into making them work, while your ghouls work so much better with your army.		*Dire Wolves are decent, being relatively fast.

	*You've got access to ~~the~~ Mortarchs too. Out ~~of all~~ of them, ~~Arkhan~~ is probably best. Mannfred is expensive as hell, and has little utility since he's mostly a magic and combat beatstick, which isn't what your army really needs. ~~Neferata is decent~~, but ~~then~~ you'~~d be pissing off Ushoran, although her Twilight~~'~~s Allure command ability and her unique spell is solid support~~.

Sure, he'~~s not gonna~~ do much damage in combat ~~like~~ Mannfred, but who needs to when you have Curse of Years?		*You've got access to two of Mortarchs too. Out of them, Neferata is probably the best (oh the irony). Sure, you'd be pissing off Ushoran, but her Twilight's Allure command ability and her unique spell is solid support. Mannfred is expensive as hell and has little utility since he's mostly a magic and combat beatstick, which isn't what your army really needs. Arkhan would be great, but as an Ossiarch Bonereaper now, you can't ally with him unless you're in Grand Alliance: Death. Arkhan was best because he's not too expensive and has a boosted unbind/casting roll that Flesh-Eater Courts sorely lack. Sure, he didn't do much damage in combat, unlike Mannfred, but who needs to when you have Curse of Years?

	*Morghast Archai and Harbingers are decent, but once again, they have little synergy with your army. They're not bad for anti-armor though, especially those sweet 2 rend halberds, which can help cover your lack of armor piercing.

	*Don't use a Necromancer. Just don't. None of his keywords work with yours. The Mortis Engine, however, is just plain great.		*Don't use a Necromancer. Just don't. None of his keywords work with yours. The Mortis Engine, however, is just plain great.

	Courtiers are more support Heroes and beatsticks, not proper leader types and thus come without any Command Abilities or magic. What they do is still very important though, ~~as of~~ they can Resurrect Slain Models, as of second edition. Keep in mind though that they cannot set up new units, only the Ghoul Kings can do that. This is not to say your Courtiers are less important though as they can, for example, add Ghouls to a unit until it gets its Battalion Strength back. As they don't have the Monster Keyword despite appearances, they all benefit from Look Out Sir.

	*'''[https://www.games-workshop.com/resources/PDF/AoS_Warscrolls/AoS_Flesh-eater_Courts_WSCards_Varghulf_Courtier.pdf Varghulf Courtier]:''' (160pts) The most versatile of all the courtiers - The Varghulf flies, has a 10" move and a bunch of strong attacks with more if it's in melee with ten or more models. This courtier is at it's best supporting your knights and serfs against chaff and mass battleline - with the aforementioned attacks bonus, Feed on Dark Magic, and Feeding Frenzy (not to mention artifacts to bump up it's attack potential), you are looking at an excellent battleline buster. Don't let him get into combat with tough hammer units or heavy-hitting monsters - 8 wounds and a 5+/6++ save goes far too quickly. It heals D3 Wounds at the end of each combat phase where it slew any enemies and can reroll To Hit if an '''ABHORRANT''' casts a spell within 18" of him (Feed on Dark Magic). Oh, and unlike other courtiers, he can muster Flayers, Horrors, and Ghouls. An excellent summoning choice - summon it in near units in combat at the table edge, in range for Feeding Frenzy, or place it range to support mass Ghouls - a very versatile part of the FEC army.		*'''[https://www.games-workshop.com/resources/PDF/AoS_Warscrolls/AoS_Flesh-eater_Courts_WSCards_Varghulf_Courtier.pdf Varghulf Courtier]:''' (160pts) The most versatile of all the courtiers - The Varghulf flies, has a 10" move and a bunch of strong attacks with more if it's in melee with ten or more models.

	The lore of this army is fucking awesome. It's easily one of the most unique. So experiment! Try all kinds of things with your lore. Go insane, it's in theme.		The lore of this army is fucking awesome. It's easily one of the most unique. So experiment! Try all kinds of things with your lore. Go insane, it's in theme.

	Models wise, the army is still great. But when painting the inevitable horde of ghouls, try taking breaks now and then between your batches of ghouls by painting your heroes or monsters or horrors. It really helps break the monotony of painting ghouls. And don't be afraid to convert! Your guys are completely crazy, so go nuts with conversions! The Varghulf model is incredibly old but still good, but if you wish, there are tons of cool models that fit on 60mm bases that work great as a conversion! Don't forget, your courtiers must be made from the same boxes as your normal mooks, so plan out in advance how you're gonna build your boxes. For example, in my case: I had 3 boxes of Crypt Horrors/Flayers, and I used the parts inside to build 3 Crypt Horrors, 3 Flayers and 2 Haunter Courtiers and 1 Infernal Courtier. For Ghast Courtiers, try finding conversions, because you do NOT want to take that single model out of your ghoul blob and be left with 19 odd ghouls, consider the Grymmwatch set, since it comes with 6 unique and very distict ghoul models. Currently the official base size for Ghast Courtiers is 32mm, so keep that in mind.		Models wise, the army is still great.

If you really want to do something different convert your army so it looks like the Delusion, a whole hoard of 'noble knights' and such with only traces of there real nature.

	In terms of playstyle, I have no idea why but a LOT of FEC players have this weird Blisterskin Flayer or Gristlegore Monster Mash fetish. Keep in mind, Flayers are NOT reliable whatsoever. Same with your monsters. This will be touched upon again later. Large groups of flayers with the feeding frenzy command ability will put out an obscene amount of mortal wounds.
