Battle report: Where are the dragons?

I chanced upon Stelek's list and couldn't resist testing it against Crazyrat. Full credit for the list goes to him. I definitely did not bring out the potential of the list but my thoughts (and Crazyrat's) below nonetheless.

Stelek's Battery Pack Vampire Counts (Downsized to 2250) VS Crazyrat's Wood Elves

Highlights

Turn 1

1. Woodelves deployed all the way back (touching the end of the board) waiting for me to come to him.

2. Mage transformed into a Black Hydra (which I did not dispell. Lack of experience here or pure stupidity)

3. Vampire Lord failed to cast Purple Sun through 'battery' and magic ended. Gulp

Turn 2-3

1. On th right flank, Woodelves fast calvary and Black Hydra charged Varghulf and cooked it (breadth weapon).

2. In the middle, Treeman charged into ghoul unit with Vampire Lord on foot and 1 Vampire. Ghast challenged and is stomped for its efforts.

3. Vampire Lord on foot once again failed to cast Purple sun, where the Treeman will proceed to stomp the Vampire hero (called challenge).

4. Wardancers and Tree spirits unit 1 marched down my left flank. Wardancers then charged the zombies and wiped them out after Vanpire Lord on steed's Purple sun was dispelled (no battery).

5. Two Ghoul units with a vampire hero each charged the tree spirits (failed to transform into dragons) and ran them down.

Turn 4-6

1. Vampire Lord on foot finally cast Purple Sun and turned Treeman into Purple Stature. He was then charged and stomped into dust by Fast Calvary and Black Hydra (then finally dispelled after Crazyrat clarified the dispelling rules, and killed by something undead and stinky. Ha!).

2. Second Vargulf was minced into pork chops in combat and I do not expect anything from them anymore (at least I painted one lol).

3. Army starts to crumble. One unit of ghoul with vampire that ran down tree spirt had its vampire hero charged Archers and was shot to death by stand and shoot (what was I thinking? Wait, I wasn't thinking...)

4. Mop up by Woodelves after vampires could not transform into dragons and remained unarmoured VPs for the taking. Massacred by Woodelves. Undead remained dead.

Thoughts

1. I forgot to take any pictures!

2. After my first spell (Purple sun) did not go off, even with the Power Scroll lol, things went down hill for me. In fact, I could not even transform (lore of Beast) once.

3. Without the 'dragons', the unportected vampires were cheap or pircy fodder for the taking.

4. Varghulfs were unimpressive the entire game. I will stick to Crazyrat's suggestion to switch to two Blackcoaches if I were to try the list again (with some modifiation). I think this list has potential and might be the list I'd use for my Vampire Counts because its crazy enough lol.

5. I think I need cheap redirectors too. Modifications in process.

Comments and suggestions appreciated. Thank you to Crazyrat for the game and Stelek for the inspiration.
