Elite Blood Knights (Balanced & Lore Friendly)
For those who found Blood Knights to be a slight dissapointment compared to their table top / Lore version.
The point of this mod was not to make Blood Knights as a unit OP but each individual Blood Knight more powerful and more in line with Lore and Table top.

So what does this mod do?
1: Decrease the size of the unit from 60 to 32 (I’v never seen someone field a big unit of blood knights like I have seen people field big numbers of other cavalery, because they are very strong and a small unit can accoplish enough, also they are expensive in points for the table top so wanted to lower their number similar to what Demi Gryphs are for example).
2: Raised the average stats of the Blood Knights to be stronger per model to compensate for the loss of 28 vampires, and perhaps raised a slight touch above it + a bit more armor pen damage to be inline with the Elite Monsterous Cavalery feel and use of the unit.
3: Since this gives Vampire counts another Type of unit compared to just a better Cavalery unit (they are almost like Monsterous Cavalery now) and the slight increase of stats above the compensation I increased the Cost of the unit to 1800 and upkeep to 500.
With the current mechanics of the unit They will win a fight against Demigryphs 1v1 with about 18-29% health left if both charged eachother, but if supported with magic much better, but that goes for the demigryphs too, demigryphs buffed with lore of life magic wins against the blood knights buffed with lore of vampire.
Against most infantery they will preform slightly worse then the Demigryphs would to compare them, and I find them a slightly better unit overall but not by much, and they cost 300 more + are a bit slower and still have less weight to them compared to demigryphs so have a slightly harder time still to pull out from engagements.
