So I just recently got into Age of Sigmar and I've picked up Death. I've played several matches but I'm just getting my first wizards (vampire lord on zombie dragon and a necromancer) And I was looking through the Legions of Nagash book and was curious as to what the better spells from the lores of the vampire/death wizards were? What are some good spells to take for a skeletal horde style army?

My kid plays death with a lot of skellys. He's rather fond of Vanhel's Danse Macabre. I'm rather not, lol. I hate units piling in and attacking twice.

Oh man! Sooooo much good stuff in there. The Necromancer has Vanhels Danse Macabre as his signature spell, it’s almost an auto include for a horde of skeletons.

From the lores I usually take the 3 big debuffs from the lores of the dead. Decrepify, Overwhelming Dread and Fading Vigor.

The vampire lord has to take his from the lore of vampires, and I often use vile transference to heal my big guys or I’ll take the amethystine pinions on Mannfred to make him zippy quick.

You get to choose your spells before the game so definitely look at what you’re playing against and remember that if you roll a natural 9 the spell goes of twice. That can be suuuuuuper crippling

The 3 debuffs seem like the absolute best. And rolling 9 or higher on any of those would be debilitating. Thanks for the tips!

It is indeed crippling! It can take a Frostlord on Stonehorn from a beatstick to a pillowfisted chump!

Depending on how many casters you’re running look into the Morbhergs claw relic from legion of night for a +2 to cast.

Corpse cart and Mortis Engine are also pretty awesome bonus to cast auras.

Some of that is my own personal preference as I run legion of night, but especially if the opponent is aggressive it makes your spells that much more reliable. It can really take the momentum out of their assault

What are your opinions on soulpike. It looks like it would be really good for deterring charges at first glance but upon a second look maybe its not so good.

If youre playing with nagash, take a look at the soul harvest and the amaranthine orb, those can really put hurt into enemy.
