Hi guys
So I'm playing a 1k T&T game in my local GW store the 27th. 1k is such a small number for vampire counts that I have trouble building a list. The main problem is one I tend to have in higher point games as well: picking and loading out the generic hero/lord. I believe for 1k a Wight King might be better than a Vampire, but.. eh.. we're Vampire Counts, right?
Here's the list. Get your pitchforks and tochers ready and let me know what you don't think will work. Feel free to exchange bits of the list by bits you think are more suited (I have no Black Knights).
HEROES
- Necromancer, lvl 2, dispell scrol = 125
- Vamp hero with Armour of Destiny, Shield, lvl 2, Quickblood = 222
CORE
- 5 Wolves = 40
- 5 Wolves
- 30 zombies, standard = 95
- 25 zombies, standard = 80
SPECIAL
- 20 Grave Guard, command = 250
- 3 Vargheists, champ = 148
My main strengths are soaking power and a very decent magic phase. My main weakness is flimsy heroes. I'm not sure I'll be able to inflict enough damage without my precious VL. Also, very little protection on the Vamp, cos no buddy system for Nightshroud etc. Should I exchange my necro for a Wight King? Should the Vamp get a Heavy Weapon (and does he get the improved save from the shield if he does)?
Fire away!
