Napo had phenomenal performance at ESC taking 2nd place playing as Vampire Counts.
His list:
Vampire Covenant
440 - Vampire Courtier, General (The Dead Arise), Lamia Bloodline (Mesmerising Gaze), Wizard Adept, Witchcraft, Unholy Tome, Crown of Autocracy
430 - Necromancer, Wizard Master, Evocation, Binding Scroll
240 - Barrow King, Battle Standard Bearer (Legion Standard), Willow's Ward, Alchemist's Alloy
145 - Banshee
145 - Banshee
145 - Banshee
414 - 43 Skeletons, Spear, Standard Bearer (Flaming Standard), Musician, Champion
318 - 39 Skeletons, Standard Bearer (Legion Standard), Musician, Champion
135 - 8 Dire Wolves, Champion
135 - 8 Dire Wolves, Champion
130 - 20 Zombies, Musician
590 - 8 Ghasts
380 - Court of the Damned, Aegis
343 - 9 Wraiths
510 - Shrieking Horror
4500
Can someone (or maybe Napo himself) give me insight on how this list is played? I understand that the core is magic moves to get Wraiths and Shrieking Horror in position. Increased command aura serves same purpose. But how this list wins combat? Vampire is practically naked, skeletons seems more like tarpit without commandment or halberds. Are Ghasts and Court only sources of close combat damage?
