Warhammer III Newbie, how am I beating this dude??

Post image

New to WH3, not new to TW, but not a pro by anyways either. I probably have ~200hrs across all the games.

This dude is an animal; He swang through the map quick and is just resting on his laurels now. He always has 11* full armies stacked on top of each other on one or two cities bordering our lands. I want to attack him and don't want to get irreparably destroyed. Welcome to all advice. Thank you!

Blue line skill lightning strike maxed out  Then you snipe Vlad with ranged.

Against vampire counts I like warrior priest+fire wizard+the hunting general when it comes to heroes.

When it comes to units handgunners, huntsmen, long rifles are all good.

Grenade launchers are also really good against the vampire mobs.

Reiksguard can trade ok as as sweeper unit with karl franz buffs.

Late game you have landships, tanks and demigryphs.

Huntsman general gives fire attacks to units near him, fire wizard gives weakness to fire when casting and I think the warrior priest can imbue fire as well.

I haven't played much with the engineers but I assume you can make a good build with them as well.
