Flag of Blood Keep

--------------------------------------

Ive been looking for a way that would allow me to have blood knights, I really want to give them ago and with the lord choice I think it would be pretty damaging considering the flag of blood keep gives them all a 4+ ward save.
The lord with 6 attacks charging, rerolling misses and devistating charge should kill roughly 4 out of 6, and then another 2-3 alone. Then the rest with 3 on the charge at str 7 ws 5 I'm hoping that + death shriek will kill virtually any unit they ever need to charge into while still being protected.

2 lvl2's and 1 lvl3 I'm also hoping to be enough magic control to keep myself up though I do need to find a way to worm in master of the dead either to put it in my fear bomb or the grave guard.

The zombies are mostly a screen and the dire wolves are redirect and for prolonged deployment.

Any constructive thoughts and suggestions? ^^
This list really makes me go against what I feel to be right as the blood knights and lord in a single unit makes them a biiig big target for victory point reasons coming in at around 700-800pts if you can kill them all.

oop make that 8 attacks, forgot devi charge and frenzy on the lord.

Charmed shield and dragonhelm are both magic armour. So you need to fix that.

I thought you were able to take those together o.o eh id drop the shield I think lol. have a normal one, ill change that in a sec.

You're 25 points over your minimum core, I personally think that is 25 wasted points that could buy you some nice arcane items like the channel staff or the Book of Arkan or even master of the dead (drop 4 skellies to afford it then raise 5 on turn 1 ).

I'm still unsure how this list would run in a live game, it seems very limited and I have none of the kewl VC stuff there is available xD essentially just skellies, zombies and vampires no big stuff, no ethereals or anything.

And yeah I think dropping the skellies some for master of the dead sounds like a good idea xD it will certainly help me to keep my fear bomb up.

I won a game last night purely with Skeletons, zombies, a vampire, 2 lvl 2 necromancers and 5 black knights.
If played well, the bigger, flashy stuff isn't needed.
