The army selection rules don't benefit us much, certainly. It's nice for people who have access to cheap rare and special units, like empire mortars and great eagles, because lots of those can now be taken. As VC, I've never had a problem wanting to take a 3rd rare or 5th special in 2k. I'm...

Just one ogre could work well. Stick the central pole of the cart right through it. Add chains and stuff.

This is a very hard decision. Some people have done a lot of work converting and others have done great painting. I'm voting for Dark Sheep. His conversion is very convincing and his painting is great as well. It's also very nicely photographed, which helps a great deal. Looks great all...

Some very nice conversions here, particularly in the last few posts. Quite a competition.

I'd suggest a mounted vamp to go with your knighst and a unit of grave guard. There are lots of ways you could configure these but the aim should be to strengthen your hammer unit and get a solid core of GGs.

This is a vampire lord I made. It's almost all made from green stuff and wire, with a couple of bits from the dryad sprue, weapon from grave guard and a rock. Final Entry. Edit: Alternatively, as only allowed 3 images: Pesky rules!

I think it might make sense for your second death star to be more mobile, so probably black knights. As things stand this unit is pretty beatable I think. Your first death star seems non-invincible with just a 5+ save. I'd give them shields and strongly consider the drakenhoff standard for...

Slight rehash of the above. I think I'm now getting to a stage where the characters all have defined roles. Apologies if this seems like a minor change. I've cut down the GGs to 16 and given them a Wight king BSB, which basically seems a clear win for CR purposes. The great wep vamp will sit...

I like the cloak you've got on the earlier vampire. Not so sure about the purple and red combo to be honest. Somehow the finish you are getting doesn't look too good. I understand what you mean about having an idea in your head but struggling to reach it. I'm at a similar stage to you I...

I've had a bit of a go with some paints now, and I think I've got the colour scheme set. Still some work to do on the base and maybe another level or two of highlights here and there. It's very unforgiving to see your stuff at this magnification! I've now cleaned up the massive black smudge...

After playing around a bit with some models I'm starting to get an idea of what I like making. Turns out I like making vampires, so here's a list with some more of them in it. I've started a project log of my figures here. Take a look if you're interested. I suppose one option might be...

Not really sure about the colour scheme. Probably a lot of black, maybe some red. Unsure whether the cloth should match that on the GG I've done, as that might not work well with red. Tricky. I like the idea of red armour but I'm not sure how that would fit with the colours of the rest of my...

She's a big girl. Very big really. I think this is ok and makes her seem more like a monster, something that hadn't been human for a long time, which was certainly the effect I wanted. There are various fluff reasons this might have occurred, and I do want my characters to stand out, but...

Sculpting of the lord (lady) is now more or less complete. Some fussing over the base and a bit of paint left to go now.

Ahh yes, certainly female. Inspiration from the John Blanche picture on page 8 of the army book. The colour is actually more of a light brown than yellow. I'm going for natural colours on these guys as far as possible.

I've started work on a new VC army. I think there are going to be quite a lot of conversions, though I'll be using the GGs and skellies more or less straight out of the box as they are already great models. I'm making a necrarch vampire lord. Still quite a lot to do but I'd be interested to...

RE: 2000 points Magic Heavy List Forbidden lore or DA is a difficult choice for certain. Can't add much to what others have said. I'm not sure about all the makeup of your army to be honest. You don't seem to have anything with which to actually kill the enemy, just all kinds of ways of...

I think you might be better off going for a smaller number of units but making them stronger. I don't think you can fit both the black knights, cart and the GGs into this size of list. You end up with nothing that can really take a charge. I suggest dropping the cart and boosting the GGs up...

Thanks for the reply and some good advice. I'm not really sure exactly what I want out of this army. It should work and be fun to use, and the kind of rock/paper/scissors thing you describe is to be avoided. I want an army that I play, not just something where I roll a bunch of dice and see...

I'm a newcomer to the VC list, though I used to play undead years ago back when Nagash walked the land. Things seems to have changed quite a lot. Recently (for the last decade or so) I've mostly been playing 40k, and I've had a lot of success at GTs and the like. I'm looking to expand my...
