I kind of fell bass-ackwards into this army. I bought Warhammer Quest: Cursed City - which basically included a starter army for the Soulblight Gravelords right there?! buying more miniatures for the Night Wars expansion for Cursed City will just bring that up more...
And then there was Age of Sigmar, 4th Edition, with its Spearhead game... Of course I needed to get a Spearhead army for that?!
Painted (so far...)
The force so far...
Heroes
Cado Ezechiar, the Hollow King - picked up and painted because I really enjoyed listening to the audiobooks! Will I ever use him as a leader for a Soulblight army? There was a time in his histroy that he did lead armies against the forces of Chaos!
Once I have ALL the stuff done for Cursed City, I'll have far more Heroes than I could ever use in one army...
Radukar the Wolf - came with Warhammer Quest: Cursed City.
Watch Captain Halgrim - came with Warhammer Quest: Cursed City.
Wight King - older metal model!
Units
Deathrattle Skeletons - these are the ones that came with Warhammer Quest: Cursed City.
Kosargi Nightguard - these also came with Warhammer Quest: Cursed City.
Undead Ogors, raised from the loyal bodyguards that had served Radukar in life.
Vyrkos Blood-Born - these also came with Warhammer Quest: Cursed City.
The Vyrkos were once the mortal nobles of Mournhold before Radukar's seizing control of the city and renamed it Ulfenkarn. They are now feral creatures that stalk the streets of the city at night.
Vargscyr - these also came with Warhammer Quest: Cursed City.
Legends
Units that they still have warscrolls for, but aren't allowed in competitive Matched Play... Mostly these are Warhammer Underworlds warbands.
The Sepulchral Guard
The Sons of Velmorn
Zondara’s Gravebreakers
Still To Do
What I currently OWN and still have to do, is:
- Gorslav the Gravekeeper
- Necromancer
- Sekhar, Fang of Nulahmia
- Torgillius the Chamberlain
- Vampire Lord
- Vampire Lord
- Vampire Lord
- Wight King on Skeletal Steed
- Dire Wolves (10)
- Fell Bats (3)
- Vargskyr (1)
- Vargheists (3)
- Blood Knights (5)
- Deathrattle Skeletons (20)
- The Crimson Court (4)
- The Exiled Dead (7)
THE PLAN
I guess the first part of THE PLAN is to finish up all the stuff for Warhammer Quest: Cursed City (most of which is useable in Age of Sigmar!)
The NEXT order of business would be to assemble and paint the miniatures needed for a Spearhead Army.
Those two, Spearhead army plus ALL THE STUFF from Cursed City would make a considerable force... I'd definitely be able to play a Path to Glory campaign with those.
After that, just painting up things for fun - as extra options for the army...
When I've got ALL THE STUFF painted (and picked up the last few Vampires I need for Night Wars) the force will look like...

ARMY TOTAL: 4660
WTF!? that is a LOT of undead!? There's enough to field TWO 2000-point armies AGAINST each other!?
I haven't really done a lot of thinking about how to field them all. So far, I've mostly just put together a few options for 1000-point forces for Paths to Glory...
FORCE OPTIONS
1000 point Paths to Glory Option
Regiment
- Hero - Vampire Lord (1) 160 - Any Soulblight Gravelords
- Unit - Deathrattle Skeletons (20) 200 - Deathrattle, Infantry
- Unti - Blood Knights (5) 230 - Cavalry
- Unit - Vargheists (3) 160 - Infantry
- Unit - Vargskyr (1) 180 - Beast
Total: 930
haven't really thought about other options... mostly I don't care about Matched Play, so.... This is probably where I'm starting with a Paths to Glory campaign.
Unless I wanted multiple Vampire Lords... (which would have to go into separate regiments.
ALL THE STUFF I HAVE PAINTED NOW!

- Hero - Cado Ezechiar, the Hollow King (1) 180 - Any Soulblight Gravelords

Stuff to Get
There are a few things I would like to GET for the Soulblight collection...
Kritza, the Rat Prince, Lady Annika, the Thirsting Blade, and Radukar the Beast - these three are required (suggested) for the Warhammer Quest: Cursed City - Night Wars expansion. I probably won't pick them up and start painting them until we actually start PLAYING Warhammer Quest: Cursed City!
If there was some way to pick up just TEN Deadwalker Zombies, I could complete the unit I have... that would be handy...
