Hmm i dont know. 1st Army: LOTS of flank and fly, the enemy will split up their melee infantry to chase after them and usually their ranged will be not very far away. This is not what you want, they should clump up so your magic can do the work. Also this is quite hard to micro. I would bring 8 skells instead and reduce hounds and bats. 2nd Army: Better, but 2 units of cav wont do much and just take micro attention. I would either bring additional gheists or cut 2 horrors for 4 cav, they can win against enemy cav then. 3rd Army: Blood Knights are one of the strongest cav in the game, why only 1 unit? Vargulfs are a tier 3 unit and perform like it, there shouldnt be 4 in a late game army. Also, there is a significant difference in speed. If you attack with you fast flyers and cav first, they get shredded, especially vargheists without armor. Hold them at the far flanks and just use your invocation of nehek while your infantry tanks the enemy missile fire. Also i disagree with grave guard great weapons. They will get obliterated by pretty much every other late game infantry but that doesnt really matter since they are just there to hold the line. Get the regular variant for shields and melee defense instead, you damage comes from magic, mortis, monster and cav charge. No need for armor piercing infantry if the suck anyway. Just my thoughts.

Tomb guard are so good that they change races 3:10 the heat ain't doing you good colonel 5:30 they also regenerate, it's 2hp/s, corpse carts with lodestone are 4hp/s Very good comp for a single army comp we definitely need to go hard on the big bois to actually do something against the op empire Also, regarding your final comments I think that crypt horrors are still better at stacking, but the varghulfs are better for gooning Lords. After playing beastmen and using giants against Lords and heroes I've noticed that single entity monsters with ap damage and fast auto attacks are great against Lords. So i use two with a wight king to kill enemy leadership. Finally I've noticed something interesting on cairn wraiths, since they have 0 armour and 75% physical resistance. So they re great to stack with horrors, because if they're not dealing with magic damage; They counter ap units since they'll block the low normal damage that enemies do, plus the poison from the horrors. So on a two army combo they're a better choice. ( But since you focus on one it doesn't matter, it's just another option to put on the table.)

To be honest i have found his ideas mostly useless First of all Bats are among the worst units in the entire game and worth nothing and bringing them at that scale(5 units) just make you super weak i heavily advice never recruit them never ever they just work against you by loosing their balance of power super quick and make you vulnerable to army loss Then about corpse carts and using them as an individual unit again this is a very bad choice and if you need those buffs provided by them you just need a necromancer in your army and he will unlock corpse cart down the line for you All in all i think this method of strategy is completely useless Best strategy for vampires always was relying on heroes in your army and use magic in full scale so the best strategy from early to late game would be skelly boys spamming alongside a hefty size of heroes who accompanying your lord into battle You should have 15 skeleton warriors everywhere plus 4 heroes and your lord in every army and you need nothing else believe me Vampire counts roster is the shitiest of all factions but their heroes and lords are among the best in the entire game so never rely on crappy units The only units that worth recruiting are Hexwreights and Blood knights and Terrorghiests and Black coaches and of course the lovely skeletons and wolves in the early game but the rest is just there for the sake of being forgotten The key to have a very great VC campaign always was/is/will be unlock heroes as fast as possible and start adding them into your armies and leveling them up specially Vampires and Necromancers these are the most important

@@alirezarezaei2976 I agree, for the most part. -Bats are important for counter-artillery tactics, especially before you unlock flying mounts or Vargheists. Usually 2 units of bats can dismount an artillery piece, or break them long enough for them to leave the protection of friendly units and be chased off or killed. They're also good for aerial battles, when your flying lord engages their flying Lord, support with bats to help overwhelm and soak damage for your lord. -mainline skeletons (especially skeleton spears) after you unlock the zero upkeep tech, but don't bother recruiting them, as the raise dead recruitment pool should be able to sustain your armies until the beginning of the late game.

@alireza rezaei is totally right, focus on growth, defense, then income and trade resources, and only ever build military buildings for heroes or when you've got a regional recruitment bonus to exploit, and only then for higher tier units (if you can, find hubs for cavalry and grave-guard for the late game) the real important aspect of a vampires campaign is figuring out where the really dope battle-remains are on the map, and either claiming those lands or using them as hubs for recruitment and military campaigning. In a VC campaign in TWW1, I slew an army of goblins in Essen in a climatic battle that cost me nearly 2k skeletons and zombies, and killed half again as many greenskins. 2-3 turns later that site matured (there's a refractory period on battle-sites) and I could raise a Vargulf and multiple units of Graveguard, as well as 8-9 skeleton of both flavors, instantly.

BATS are OP! Have a battle line and use 1 unit of bats to give every unit on enemy battle line “attacked in the rear” debuff. Then use bats only to chase routing targets off the field. You get all that utility for literally chump change. Mid game have 2 necromancers on foot just chilling with the units having “master of the dead” your frontline will have an extremely long lifespan in combat The wight king is is a worthy investment too, they hit like trucks for a low price Also, summons all the way catch enemy units whenever possible with a few well placed zombies you don’t even need to use dogs all that often. In general my all time favourite faction they need more love tho!

Which campaign diff is this for? Even on normal such mid- and endgame armies are expensive. It is much easier and better to have more armies of free skellies, following main LL's strike army. Many mistakes in unit description, for example, "skellies are decent line-hodling infantry". Nope, spearmen ones are better, they have higher melee def, charge defense and same shield stat, so they will last longer. And so on, so forth. Don't describe the race if you don't know it well. :)

i know 3 years old ;) buit i recently restarted playing TW:WH2 and started a VC camapign. The midgame Army is strong in fighting skills but so damn cost ineffective... if you build your armies like this you will have incomes like +1000-1500 per turn instead of +6000-9000 per turn in midgame with skelli spam + heroes ( Midgame id consider turn 50-120)... in 20 turns this is like 140K Gold difference... and you wont even be able to transition into lategame with that much money you miss out. In midgame you will have many settlements and there is always threat of neighbours declaring war on you so you need to build out the defence of those settlements since you cant be everywhere with your 3 armies.... but how you gonna build strong defence in your settlements that are close to other faction borders when you only have 1000 income a turn and you need at least 100K total to strengthen your defense in settlements
