I thought they said you were still gonna be able to recruit normal Lord's but the bloodlines are gonna be there as well. I thought that meant ghoul Kings won't be removed

[Elitewrecker PT]

But the Strigoi Ghoul King were originally Grim and Grave content. That would imply the Strigoi bloodline requires that DLC.

The generic ghoul king lords yes. But the bloodline ghoul kings will be free for the counts.

So since I have the grim and the grave I will be able to use both

Technically yes, but when you have an addition of up to 15 more immortal lords with special traits, why would you ever need a normal one like a strigoi that has one of the VC greatest strengths, powerful lords with powerful magic, gimped to the point of not even being able to overcast?

They nerfed the strigoi too hard for me to even bother using them now if I don't feel like making a themed army (i.e. not going for the strongest army, but one I think sounds cool). Even necromancers are a better choice power gaming wise. Strigoi are slightly faster and have slightly better health and armor piercing damage, along with faster regeneration than a normal unmounted vampire lord, but suffer everywhere else compared to them making them inferior early to mid game untill they get a terrorgheist, and even then they are just a sidestep to a zombie dragon lord. Necromancers on the other hand may not be as great in combat as they are, but like the vampire lords, they have better magic, and they are better support lords overall due to their late game mounts and their abilities.

No, they specifically said all the regular lords are still available. So you can get a regular strigoi from the lord pool just as always, in addition to the bloodlines one.
