*facepalm* long day...

+1 for the help Grish, I search, but the fu is weak, is this how the rep system works? As for the ZD, it was a bare bones lord, but he has a tendency to freak when big scary things come out of hiding and he was expecting a footslogger... It was for show, just a little psych tactic. I didn't...

New thoughts toward building. I have a couple games in vs. TK, but from what I've heard that is something of a poor test lab for Vc as about half of what VC do is mitigated and the magic phase belongs to TK with no miscasts. Being new to WHFB, I am still figuring out the rules a bit and...

Haven;t run into that so much yet. I run a combat hero and a wight king or two, so far, so good.

I have been running (only 3 games in so far) 30 skeletons with full command and banner of hellfire (my main opponent plays Tomb kings and fire rains on their parade) and a block of 30 ghouls with a ghast using a caster lord with "summon ghouls" and "lord of the dead" backed by a hero with...

I am new to WHFB, so take this with a pound of salt. The ghouls would help balance your list a bit by providing a different threat for your oppoenent to counter. If you are not opposed to proxying, and not already aware of it, Mantic makes some decent looking ghouls, cheaper than GW too. They...

Interesting comments Grish, here's the other list I was tinkering with: Lords: Lord red fury infinite hatred avatar of death wristbands of black gold heroes: Necromancer +1 spell scepter de noirot vampire dark acolyte Lord of the dead Tomb blade Flayed...

After returning to the drawing board, here's what I have (I've probably goofed something somewhere. Lords: Vampire Lord on Hellsteed Red Fury beguile Infinitie Hatred Flayed Hauberk Wristbands of black gold Sword of kings Heroes: Necromancer Extra spell...

Right place at the right time I guess. For everything I have listed, I am into the Counts for about $200, not too bad if I say so myself. Thanks for the tip on the FAQ. I have been reading through the army book and building from there, I guess the FAQ is the next step. Really need to get an...

Thanks for the help. I do appreciate it. I have managed to acquire 20 grave guard and an additional 20 ghouls as well as 10 more black knights and blood knights. Here's what I am thinking: 2000 points CORE: skeletons x20 musician standard bearer banner of the dead...

that should be 2000 points.

Just found out that my friend, whom I will play the bulk of my games against, is going tomb kings at 200 points or so. He has a catapult, bone giant, chriots and warriors, fairly light on archers. Any suggestions, does this change anything? Ideally, I'd like to build with what I've got rather...

Thanks for the advice. too bad about the giant, it is a giant model carved up and based as though it were rising from the grave. As for skeletons vs. ghouls, what are the pros and cons each way (there is probably a thread about that someplace.)

Eric in Southern MN reporting. I have picked up some Vampire counts stuff beacuse it is so nicely sculpted and the conversion possibilities are near endless. can't wait to play.

I have acquired the following cheaply and am looking to build an 8th ed army around 2000-2500 points, suggestions for builds that require no additional purchase are favorable. I am planning to play a denial and swarm game or an alpha strike game. I have: corpse cart black coach...
