It seems that you have very little in the way of magic. While this is fine for many vamps lists I would question the choice here. Else where in this thread the merits of this are discussed, however: in my personal experience the vamps at 1k can often and reliably out-magic many of their foes...

I see - I misunderstood - thanks :D

Personnaly I would be very interested in the outcome of this battle - as I am currently ammasing my own undead horde, and ogres are a frequent opponent of mine. As MasterSpark says, I think this list looks really good :D Please let us know :p

Why would the biting blade 'gimp' the red fury ability, it's not a great weapon?

You’re right to point out that your zombie’s will achieve little, if anything at all. (I was recently trying to work out the prospects of a large zombie unit winning a combat in a game I have coming up in the next month, lets just say: they aren’t too good!:p) I feel then...

I recently faced a DE assassin with the following lord... Vampire @ 145 points Dark Acolyte, Summon Ghouls The most astute amongst you will notice this the general(!) was not exactly equipped to deal with the pesky swashbuckler…:P However I managed to last three rounds of...

I concur, at the relatively low points total of 800/1000 pts. I would recommend going magic heavy, as at this level the VCs can usually and reliably out magic a good number of their foes. The pros and cons of this are discussed else where in this topic I think, considering both combat heavy and...

My only slight concern, looking at the latest list, is that you don't have enough troops in your 2251pt. strong force. At quick calculation you only have approx. 70 troop figures on the board. In my experience this is not a great number, as VC troops can go down quite easily and although you can...

lol - i'm the other way around. I can paint VC's really quickly; I undercoat white and then paint almost exclusively with washes (the notable exception to this is my characters). This gives a ghostly, ethereal look. Conversally my stirland force is STILL not painted... it's taking ages :p

Is the lore of fire worse than any other of the lores??:rolleyes:

sorry my bad - i mis read... However on re-reading the forbidden lore rules, the vamp.'s book states that you can take all the spells from any lore, except life! So ignore my point saving rate above, but if you want to take the vmapire power in question, I believe that you can still go with...

Very nice… The other option is to take the lore of beasts. This makes a rather tasty combat bias vampire if you can cast the bear’s anger on him :) The really nice thing about this option is two fold. Firstly, you can go completely magic heavy (with all the benefits that this...

I often find myself striking a balance between defence and arcane prowess. This is largely due to the way that I play. More often than not I find my vamp. characters at the head of a massed, ranked up unit. To this end I don’t necessarily need to kit them out for martial excellence. The...

At first glance, it strikes me that you don’t have enough troops to boast a combat heavy force. Combat heavy armies obviously lack something in the magic department, and with the reduced ability to raise the newly undead, you’re going to have to pack a punch right form the...

I played against the skaven recently (in fact the win recorded in my signature was against them :)) I will start by saying that the game I played was 2k – so the numbers may change a bit between what I fielded and you take… However, against almost any skaven army I think you...
