Comprehensive Vampire Counts 8th Edition Warhammer guide by Sunny & Najo. Tactics, unit ratings, and strategy for Lords, Heroes, Core, Rare, magic items, and more.
= Introduction =
This work is the collaborative effort of The Sun King and najo. The handbook is a subjective assessment of the Vampire Counts army for the 8th edition of Warhammer Fantasy Battle, meant to help newcomers to the game. Our ratings are based on years of playing and cold numbers. Alas, Warhammer Fantasy is no exact science and opinions will therefor differ – not even our collective wisdom can deduce an ultimate truth. However, this handbook should offer insights into the intricacies of the Vampire Counts army that even veterans will find useful. Our ratings and comments are based on uncomped competitive play at around 2500 points. Enjoy!
