Ceaseless hunter gives you a huge advantage in movement, which is arguably the biggest area of concern for the army, it's definitely not like it's going to matter in every single situation, but boy when it plays, it absolutely wrecks
Your explanations are clear and concise, which I really appreciate. I find that a lot of competitively focused warhammer content can be a bit repetitive, or even have some redundancies, so big ups on your "fat-free" content.
Here's my opinion about veiled blade : it's just too good to pass up for blade champions in terms of fun. Combined with the custodian guards rerolls and the dacatarai sustained hits, you can potentially make a lot of devastating wounds on the enemy, and he's definitely not going to like that. Furthermore, with the slayer of tyrant strat, you'll be hitting anything on 4+ (mostly) and ap-3 with d3 is really nasty (in fact, most melee units, even trajann, "only" have ap -2.) Ceaseless hunter is really good too, but it can also put you in a really tight spot if you don't use it well, plus blade champion units don't need more mobility at all with the advance and charge rerolls and the once per game charge after advancing. Both are really good imo, but I prefer the veil blade option just to try to sollicitate the god of luck : I managed to do 5 mortal wounds 5 days ago by rerolling 3 1's which became three 6's, which straight up killed a baneblade which had 14 wounds left after my custodian guards hit him and it was HILARIOUS xD.
I'm definitely casual because I love Veiled Blade and don't care for Ceaseless Hunter mechanically, but I definitely recognize how powerful Ceaseless Hunter is and always take it.
I use unstoppable destroyer on my blade champion. I have a blender unit, 5 guard plus blade champion, that always charges so it's a chance of extra damage.
Unstoppable destroyer should be 15pts, and veiled blade should be 20pts. Veiled blade on my blade champion is an auto include to me. Those extra attacks, and OC have won me games, rerolling wounds on an objective.
If you were to put VB on a termie SC would you give him an axe or a spear? My thinking is if the spear still better because it's consistent even if VB on axe is 33% more attacks whereas spear is less than 29% more attacks. Regardless he has an axe because it looks cool on termies.

Great video! Can we get a deeper dive into ceaseless hunter?
Good call
I really like ceaseless hunter on Allarus (I use aquillon w/ flamers) to ensure they get to shoot

Axe is terrible right now, there are almost no scenarios where it outperforms the spear
I was thinking that was still the case with aesthetics and Rhinos being the outliers.
Is veiled blade the best enhancement to use if I just have an enhancement on the Blade Champion.
ceaseless hunter is 30 pts
I say that in the video as well, just a typo
Ur units cost up to 570
U carry about 30?
