Strike where it hurts
Flight lets the Terrorgheist reach artillery, missile units and wizards behind the enemy line. It also adds fear to a fight, which helps undead armies that win by breaking the enemy rather than out-fighting them.
It is a single large target. Keep it away from massed missile fire and anti-large infantry, and commit it where Skeleton Warriors or Grave Guard already hold the enemy.
Where it comes from
The Terrorgheist belongs to the core Vampire Counts roster from the original Total War: Warhammer and is one of the race's late monster recruits.
Varghulfs, Vargheists and Crypt Horrors are separate monstrous entries in the same roster; each fills a different job.
An undead army around it
Skeletons and zombies hold the line, Grave Guard fight the important part of it, and the Terrorgheist hunts the enemy units that would otherwise wear that line down.
Mannfred, Kemmler, Vlad, Isabella, Helman Ghorst and Neferata all lead Vampire Counts campaigns that use the shared undead roster.
