Hi 
I am new to VC but not to fantasy, I have large skaven and high elf armies, a small wood elf army and my other half has WOC. I am aware that now is a bad time to suddenly start a new army but I got sick of painting rats and elves and need something gribbly and horrible to paint instead. I like nearly all the models in the VC range, not too keen on the new models from the end times though and a bit gutted that the characters are mostly finecast. My favourite part of the hobby is painting, then gaming, least favourite is assembling the things, especially awkward to rank up models, im looking at you storm vermin and phoenix guard. Gameplay wise I am not sure if I have a preferred playstyle, I like to have multiple options available to me, don't usually spam and go for models I like the look of or fluff of. When playing at home I normally write several lists, number them and let my opponent blind pick one to keep things interesting, if I have to travel I normally try to make an allcomers list so I don't have to transport everything. I also like to read novels related to my army from time to time, I just finished reading queeks book.
I am waiting for my VC stuff to arrive and have ordered the book, nagash book, battalion, a box of skeletons, 2x box of crypt horrors/vargheists, a terrorghiest, box of black nights, necromancer, banshee, spirit host box and wight king blister. I am probably going to order2-3 boxes of mantic zombies, and maybe some gw ones to mix in. I probably need more core but as we don't know what is going to make it to 9th I am probably going to get the special and rare choices that appeal most to me whilst I still can as alternatives for the core models seem quite easy to find. Not sure what to do with the vamp that comes with the terrogheist, are vamps considered better on foot or mounted? for mounted I could stick his torso on a dragon prince horse or stick him on a chaos knight horse, or maybe one of the black knights, on foot I have no idea what to use as suitable legs?
Paint scheme wise I am not sure what to do either, my skaven are brightly painted and cartoony, my high elves are turquoise and purple, the wood elves are autumnal theme, I do quite like the traditional red colours but it feels abit warm for the undead to me. Id like to make them distinct from my other armies. I was mad enough to use 4 different fur colours and 3 different robe colours for my skaven slaves so will probably go for fairly individual zombies with different coloured clothing and skin tones, with the rest of the army being more uniform in paint scheme.
