Great, thanks for that input. Now, are you saying the TG is worthless at high point value games? Or that the Mortis Engine is just so awesome that 2 eventually become staples of any army list? Everything I've read on the Mortis Engine makes it seem like a rotten tomato.. roll doubles and it...

Do you think I should go with something a little safer? Like Grave Guard? Keep in mind I have yet to actually purchase most of these models so any suggestions for change now would be good as it could guide my buying. I really want to limit my spending to things I will still be using in a few...

Any further advice on this revised army build? Any weaknesses I should shore up?

I play against an Ogre opponent all the time. There are a few rules I've come to live by for playing against him. Poison attacks are great. Ogres don't have the best saves, they try to mitigate most of their damage with their 4+ toughness... that doesn't do much good against poisons. Beware...

As someone who plays Skaven more than any other army I can say without a shadow of a doubt that your second list stands a better chance, but that strongly depends on what toys the skaven player brings to the game. A battle against Skaven is going to be a battle of attrition if he knows how to...

Taking the suggestions given into consideration, here is my revised list. ~~ Lords ~~ 195 pts. Master Necromancer - Level 3, Talisman of Endurance, Lore of Vampires ~~ Heroes ~~ 185 pts. Vampire - Level 1, Heavy Armor, Shield, Lance, Barded Nightmare, Red Fury, Lore of Vampires...

The only problem I have with going Hexwraiths are that I'm not trying to build a specific 1k force but rather collecting models with a 2k+ army in mind so that I don't eventually have "only good at lower brackets" models collecting dust on my shelf. Everything I've heard is Ethereal has become...

Thanks for the response and helpful criticism. I was actually waffling back and forth between 25 Crypt Ghouls and 20 Great Weapon GG. I would need to reinvest more points back into my core and shift some things around so lets see what I can come up with. I'll post later with an updated list.

Hey all, Long time lurker, very few posts. I started putting together a list for VC a long while ago. I hit a financial speed bump and had to put the hobby on the back burner. However, now that I have the funds I want to start this army. This is a hypothetical 1000 point list featuring...

Hey there, I am also brand new to Vampire Counts and was just curious about taking a Master Necromancer as a general in this low point total of a game. Most people I have talked to have suggested instead running a Level 2 Vampire Lord as the general and taking a Level 2 Necromancer for the Hero...

Thanks for the tip I will note that this was put into army list section because as a new player, and due to the fact this army plays VERY different from any other (baring tomb kings), I was actually also looking to hear which units would be the best bang for buck in this low point total of a...

Well.. Here is the long and short of it.. I am an brand new VC player and though I do very well with Skaven and Lizardmen I am at a loss with with VC. My friends and I are doing our own escalation league and we will be starting at 500 points. My first impulse was to just buy the battalion...

Yes, thats exactly what I was thinking on the Crypt Horrors. Good to know I'm thinking in the right direction. I had heard that the legendary GW GG units were practically handed pool noodles in this edition though. That other GW units can tear them up due to their outrageously high point...

Ethereal units are fantastic, as is the regeneration save that the mortis engine begins to the field.. but this sounds like a one trick pony. Like you can pull it off against a player once but if you play them again they'll just take a banner of eternal flame and tear your army a new butthole...

Alright, as the title may explain I am brand spanking new to Vampire Counts in all ways. I am a well versed and successful player with both Skaven and Lizardmen as my two main armies but have been looking into starting a third. I've always loved the concept of necromancy and how it can apply to...
