First. Rooting for Counts, out of two factions I don't like they're the preferred ones.
When we getting the incarnet element of death for the vampire counts and Nagash.
i always appreciate dahv's semi speculative lore observations. In this case slaanesh – vampire relations
so lorewise, all the contact effects shouldnt even work on undead at all. undead are a softcounter to most of chaos iirc.
So for the slaanesh v counts matchup, they excell at picking out singular targets very quickly. Vamps almost always have corpse carts/very expensive lords. Sure, the chaff takes forever to get through and actually does some back, but if you get a good snipe or two out they crumble…. literally.
Hellsteed blood dragon with helm, curse of years, and nehek is the best lord against slaanesh. Damage is good but nuetering their key engagements is better.
On the Hellflayer, post 3.0 model size is actually very impactful on damage so in theory they should do really great damage. They don't because their collision attack profile and WS/CB are bad (hence barely reaching 25% damage on a charge into something like zombies, when charitably they'd need around double that to be worth considering) but the tech for a good unit is there.
Blood knights are straight up poop and need a rework, I think vampire counts as a whole need some love.
Blood smells, static x songs, and hot topic gift cards are how you seduce vampires. Slanesh is so slick
5:25 Shalnesh offered a Banshee Queen body pillow
What about the team battles?
Manfred summons zombies while running away
Secret Keeper: feed me because you can’t beat me
"a masterful bait" – I see what you did there
All I could think was at the end when it was Manfred versus the world a Wind of Death would have been orgasmic
needs more gaze of nagash
I assume blood knights, though undead, still think and feel, just like the tomb kings do. Ergo, if anything, they would be very EASY to seduce– all you'd have to do is give them a hit of the sort of corporeal pleasures that they cannot experience anymore because they aren't living anymore. In "Interview with a Vampire" there is a vampiric character who keeps a human man as a pet/servant in part so that he can watch him eat– and remember/experience vicariously the pleasure of food and drink which he can no longer partake of, and have the human describe the different flavors and textures to him.
I see vampire counts in the title, I know who wins.
Slanesh is quite favoured in this MU in my experience. And also go spawn instead of maurader and do good. Crazy dps/debuff blob
