Why You Should Love a Monster List for SBGL

This army is built around heavy monsters, efficient heroes, and reliable recursion. It hits extremely hard, forces opponents into awkward choices, and controls the board through threat projection and sheer presence. Here are the major strengths.

Extreme Damage Output

This list brings some of the most devastating melee units in the game:

• Prince Vhordrai can reliably do incredible amounts of damage every turn.
• Neferata deletes enemy heroes each turn with her special ability.
• Vampire Lord on Zombie Dragon blends durability, spellcasting, and monstrous damage.
• Terrorgheist can spike enormous mortal wounds.
• Vengorian Lord boosts the army’s damage while hitting hard itself.

When these models hit the same target together, very few things survive.

Crazy Healing Output Tricks of Monster Lists

One of the biggest strengths of this army is how much free healing it generates every single turn. Almost every monster in the list has multiple ways to recover wounds, which means the longer the game goes, the harder this army becomes to remove.

Vampiric Healing (Combat-Based)

All your vampire units heal naturally:

• D3 wounds if they used a fight ability
• 2D3 wounds if they used a fight ability and destroyed the target

This alone keeps your dragons and heroes rolling through enemy lines.

Vengorian Lord Aura

A massive synergy piece:

• If the Vengorian Lord inflicts any damage in combat
• All friendly monsters within 12 inches heal D3 wounds

This stacks with their normal healing, turning clusters of monsters into a regenerating wall.

Vile Transference (Hero Phase Healing)

Most of your monsters are wizards, which unlocks Vile Transference:

• Casts on 7+
• +1 to cast if you’re Bacchanal of Blood and the caster is a vampire not in combat
• Target a unit, roll a dice per model, each 6 deals 1 mortal wound
• If any damage is dealt, the caster heals D3 wounds

With multiple monsters casting this every turn, the healing adds up fast.

“Emergency Healing” with Rally

A cheeky but effective trick:

• If a monster is hurt and out of combat, use Rally (I love doing this in my opponents turn)
• If successful it can heal and save a monster
• It also effectively buys time until your next hero phase healing spike

Rally isn’t always reliable, but when it works, it can flip a game.

Excellent Board Control

People underestimate how good monsters are at objectives:

• Large bases control wide spaces
• Flying units reach key points quickly
• Vargheists can be used as objective sweepers
• Terrorgheist can threaten multiple angles at once
• Reinforced units allow for strong board presence

This list plays the mission far better than it looks at first glance.

Psychological Advantage

Your opponent has to answer the question:

“Which monster do I kill first?”

And the answer is almost always the wrong one.

They like to focus on your big monsters first, however when your vargheist kill an enemy and are buffed by Vhordrai’s saint of slaughter ability, suddenly those vargheist turn into absolute killing machines on the table top and by that point it’s usually too late to stop them.

Neferata stays alive if they commit to the dragons.
The dragons stay alive if they hunt Neferata.
The Terrorgheist punishes anything that ignores it.

This creates decision overload and forced errors.

How to Play This List

This list is designed to hit extremely hard early and force your opponent into defensive positions.

Play pattern:

1. Apply threat from multiple monsters at once
2. Use your Vargheist as frontline assassins, keep wholly within 12″ of Vhordrai for Saint of Slaughter buff.
3. Use Neferata and the Vengorian Lord to reduce incoming damage
4. Use Terrorgheist for flanking and counter pressure
5. Push objectives with Vampire Lord on Zombie Dragon while other monsters clear the board
6. Use movement and breath attacks to soften key targets
7. Maintain pressure until you control the mid game

Final Thoughts

Monsters is a fun, aggressive, and cinematic Soulblight Gravelords list that rewards confident movement and strong target priority. It plays fast, hits hard, and uses its heroes to dominate the board.

If you want to field a list full of iconic monsters while still maintaining competitive strength, this one is absolutely worth trying.
