Von Carsteins vs Vampire Counts..

[Daryl]

Since both factions will be available in less than a week
who do you think is stronger as a faction?
or stronger to be used between the two?
does it also mean like the other FLC/Factions there will be access to special units?

e.g. Wurrzag gives you access to Savage Orcs army
Morghur added the whole Harpies scene



soo what about this?
I HOPE THERE ARE NEW VC UNITS!

What is VC even missing? i was never a VC player, i was a High Elf player.

Spirit hosts, bat swarms, abyssal terror and coven throne off the top of my head.

I'd be surprised if we don't see coven throne released if they do a Neferata vs. Khalida DLC.

I'd be fine with just ONE ranged unit even if it were a tier one levy of Sylvanian Bowmen. Honestly I'd actually really like that idea.

[ArchaicReaper]

No new units, aside from Isabella herself. Besides, they aren't really missing anything important. Spirit Hosts would just be weaker Cairn Wraiths, Bat Swarms are weaker Fell Bats, Abyssal Terrors might be interesting but I think they have enough options for mounts. Coven Thrones would be nice if we ever got Lhamians though. But it's not really that important.

Vlad can train all armies while end turn

that make Von Carsteins should win .

[Sultschiem]

Isabella has access to 2 vampire heroes right from the start and additionally they can get their second legendary lord really quickly, which means you can access their quests much faster.

There also is a unique building in Castle Drakenhof for them, which allows them to field even more vampire heroes with higher levels right from the start.

So very character- heavy. Isabella is also focussed on single characters and vampire monsters such as varghulfs who get major armor-bonuses.

Isabella has skills for boosting monsterous units I think? Should make her a fun choice.

[Leto]

yeah those buffs to vargheists/varghulfs is gonna be pretty awesome
i hope they will balance the original lords i like the idea that each of them specialize in some unit types.
isa - monsters. vlad - infantry and cavalry. ghorst - zombies and weakers unit. manny- etheral..
and kemmler...oh poor kemmler ... make him a great spellcaster, with advanced summoning skills/raise dead..

Would be nice to see some Sylvanian human levys on Von Carstein Armies after all Vlad is the Count elector for Sylvania :D

and a "good" one

[Darkaiser]

Vlad is a military leader, Mannfred is the magical one. In battle, Vlad should out-manuver (since his units can deploy better) but Mannfred should be making with the magical support for his army.

According to the previews, Vlad + Isabella should make for a killer combo though.

Would REALLY like to see Krell for Heinrich Kemmler. Those two made a deadly combination as well.
