It works ... and it would be a good list. I'd like to see your opponent's face as he laughed at the paltry force size, then froze with horror as you rose unit after unit from the dead behind his battle lines ... ;)

But don't stop at 500pts. Go the full way ... I wanted a bit of everything and converted bretonnians ... and I've ended up with buying a 2500pt force ... <_<

poor list tbh the blood knights are an intresting choice but if they fluff their attacks then they will just crumble to death then the vampire i dont think he comes with any armour so if he dies you have lost the game
how many power dice do you start with

2 in the pool... + 1 for the vampire... so 3 :P

ofc its not meant to be a competitive list, it was just a joke between us down at the local GW, we were actually kinda shocked to find that you could include a unit of Blood Knights in such a small army, so I thought I'd post it :P

If 4 in 500 seems ridiculous, would 12 in 2500 be cheesy ...? (Ask at your own risk. If you do ask, I've got 86 A4 pages of fluff (courier text size 12) to point you to ...)

An interesting list. I may even be tempted to use it at some point, or borrow the idea ...

though 12 in 2500 is technically cheesy it dwindles in the shaodw of 4 in 500 :P

*wonders if using them in smaller battles reaches new heights of cheesiness*

Mind you, if anything its bad for me ... their frenzy will doom my force ... (2 units will be more effective, as there's less chance of both being led astray)

Three cannons and a helblaster? (not actually possible, as that alone comes to 415pts. but three cannons is possible ...)

Marauder horsemen?
