TACTICS
The list is designed to be hyper aggressive and win any combat you want it to win; though you may not want to win every one to allow for better positioning. The army is very very fast with its slowest combat unit marching 10″. This cuts down on list’s hideous weakness to shooting.

Executioners are severely underestimated by most people and with the +1 attack from the Cauldron of Blood even 10 of them can take on a ranked up unit. They work especially well at sniping enemy characters.

The War Hydras are always good but with a +1 to attack or killing blow they can also snipe characters or take on fully ranked up units. The option to give the a 5+ ward save again helps vs shooting. The Cold One knights are out of place and will be dropped if I play the list again.

~ I hear this is his Nice list and that even darker horrors await in his Vampire Counts army. More on that list in due time…
