Hey all, I got the idea to do a 2400 pt list that runs all the von carsteins. I know it's not optimal but I think it's fun from a story perspective.
I'm debating on the corpse cart as I want to stay away from "Dirty corpse" units but I like the idea of them having one with balefire to screw up the enemies casting (Probably Mannfreds Idea)

You don't want to stick manfred in a unit where he won't get a Look Out.
Manfred is better hiding on foot.
Get a unit or 2 of zombies. They make great bunkers and speed bumps.

Family reunion looks like a fun idea.

Woops! forgt o include mannfred is on a barded nightmare

He still doesn't get a look out, as you only have 4 rank and file blood knights.

Ah ok, so if I remove the champion he gets one.

I tend to not run cavalry in my usual VC lists so I completely forgot you need 5 R&F. I ma move some points around to pick up another BK so I can have a line of 7 models.

Fantastic idea! All you need now is a empire player so you can reenact the siege of the empire!

Good luck!

So are you reuniting the Carstein family or reuniting all of those corpses with their families in a family get-togethor sort of way?
