I need to add some fast units to my Vampire Counts Army. I am debating which way to go: blood knights maybe? How effective are dire wolves for the points?

Thanks!

I wouldn't go blood knights. They're frenzied, so will likely charge sooner than you'd want.

Dire wolves seem nice, now that they've been made fast cavalry.

I'd go with the black knights though. Decently cheap, decently deadly, but more importantly they ignore terrain so they can get to where you need to go quickly without losing movement to wheeling around terrain. Plus it's nice to sit in woods or hard cover to lessen enemy shooting, then charge out of it with zero movement loss.
