    It's fun playing as the vampire counts on total warhammer 3
    But I do wish the armies would be made up more of the local factions units in an undead fashion if you raise them in or near their lands - for example imperial soldiers in the human lands, elves in the elvish areas... just some undead with all the gore and armour from a fallen warrior. It would look awesome throwing an undead elf unit into their own ranks - the cause terror stats would just make so much more sense :D

    The first half was incredible! It really sucked me in and got me hyped. But unfortunately, the second half fell off. You may as well have just been reading directly from a unit flavor wiki. I would have loved the entire thing if you had woven those descriptions directly into a narrative and also spent more time talking about the vampires themselves. Vampires a *great* narrative tool because they can be negotiated with, even reasoned with under circumstances. But you didn't even include them outside of a couple brief mentions. Please keep at it though, your work has improved by leaps and bounds over the years!

    Honestly, though I love the model set up for AoS. I love the world of fantasy far more in terms of everything down to the heros loadout of gear. The necrarchs of old, so powerful that they rivaled slaan and outpaced high elf arch mages. The fact a necrarch lvl 5 wizard existed back in those time while slaan had lvl 5s and elves only had level 4s was a hell of a thing to be proud of. But really brought the use of some fun into it
