Here's the list, the idea is "fluffy" vampires without summons

1xVampire Lord on Zombie Dragon with a Vampiric Sword, Ancient Shield, Chalice of Blood, Tomb Blade and Red Fury

1xVampire Lord on Abyssal Terror

1xCount Mannfred on Nightmare

3x 5Blood Knights (battlelines)

2x3 Vargheist

1x2 Bat Swarms

Very elite, rend-1 everywhere, good mobility, 3 Wizards with decent spells, lots of hero presence on the board to enact the death army buff. Probably too little footprint?

Always deathlance of VLoZD

Also I would choose either the cursed book on the VLoZD instead of the tomb blade as he already heals and the -1 to hit can be devastating to yuor opponent in addition to the healing you have already. Just a thought.

Iirc the lance is 2dmg 3 attacks (going to 3dmg on charge) against a d3 dmg 4 attacks for the sword...so the sword is actually better in the soup (8vs6) and even better if you suffer any debuff...while the lance is marginally better on charge (9vs8)...even if you charge all turns, but get charged all turns, sword wins out, no?
