Caelum pretender design

So what is the cheapest chassis if you desire Death, Blood, Earth and a high dominion like 8? Which chassis leaves most points for scales & castle? I think the GhostKing and the Fountain of Blood are the only choices there...

The cheapest solution is the FoB there .
A nataraja has 3 dominion as the Ghostking has .
The Ghostking is with your 3 magic paths only 36 points cheaper than the Nataraja , so exactly 1 scale . The Nataraja would be a better endgame SC though with your special 3 scales . Would be enough to cast invulnerability + soul vortex .

Just curious : why do you take dominion 8 with caelum ?
Dominion 6 saves you 63 points with a dominion 3 pretender . In times of need Caelum has really good priests with the Seraphines . Since you play with rather good scales you can afford building a few more temples/castles .
Dominion of 8 is imo with most nations not needed , only those who are very short in money and or lack priests like Ermor / Pan cw and Mictlan is special .
Because you said you bloodhunt with Caelum you build normally a castle in every bloodhunt province too otherwise your bloodhunters are an too easy target . Building a temple there doesn't hurt too .
Since you have lots of labs with bloodhunting in your empire anyways you can take dominion 6 instead and add Air 2 for traveling then .
