Hasn't playd VC. If they are anything like Chaos knights: go high with a slann, pick Lore of metal and Take them down with spirit of the forge...

No problemo I suggest you draw out some dispel dices first. From wht I've heard, VC has some pretty heavy magic.
Good luck

yeah stupid vampire heros and lords. Rest of 'em are squishy enought for sauras

hmm they are tough, but expensive. one unit of them will easily be 1/8 of the whole army.
so iif you can get them you are able to winn quite easily.

they got frenzy right? use some skinks/terradons for bait and flank them with kroxies or something.
it should be not hard to kill the 1 ( or 2) knights on the flank of the unit so they won't be able to attack back.

and as a wood elve player i can ind say that wood elves have a problem with blood knights, even with e treeman at their side.

a smart thing to do as wood elve player is take a eagle and toy the knights around... heavinly amusing

Almost time for the new sallies, -3 to their armor save really hurts heavy calv.

use the jungle swarms. place so the blood knight charge than flank with a satti. if need than flank again with Kigros.

i think swamrs are bit expensive and not really going to withstand a fulll charge of 5 blood knights including a wraith ( normally they have one) or you need like 8 swarms....and thats way to much.
skinks en terradons i'd say with kroxies or steggie as flanker.
