The main thing about the updated rules, is that units like the Abyssal Terror are not sold anymore, so anything which is no longer sold has been changed to be their own 'legacy thing'. I think the idea is to eventually phase them out.
For Soulblight, the real heavy hitter is a Vampire Lord on dragon. Your only other option for a hero is the coven throne or a foot vampire.
Dragon Knights are fantastic, and the bat swarms are great at giving debuffs to shooting units.
I saw a Soulblight army do really well at the Captial City Bloodbath event last month, so they are a tough army.
1000pts would be tough, but you could make it work.
A lot of the factions in AOS are small, but with the new allegiance abilities Soulblight get a huge buff. If you like the idea of a vampire army, defininetly stick with them. You might want to leave renforcement points to summon things outside the allegiance.
