Greetings, I'm posting my Army List purely as an introductory, not for suggestions. I know how 'horrible' the list is, and despite that enjoy a much higher win than loss ratio with it (about 3 to 1), and I can't even remember the last time my General was killed. This is my VC army, it will never change. :P
The way I run this army is probably obvious. I use the Dire Wolves as sacrificial lambs, pulling units off my Vampire Lord so that he can destroy 1 unit at a time. The Wraith rarely gets used, not needed with the Cloud of Flies usually, but if facing a worthy foe, the Wraith comes up behind my Lord and provides an additional -1 to hit the Lord or Dragon. Bats are mostly to handle war machines quickly, and if there are limited numbers of those, they work on either ranged units (only if they have at least a S4 attack) or as sacrificial lambs the same as the Wolves.
He doesn't combat solid units of rank-n-file, such as Knights on horses, or Eternal Guard. There's no need. Dispatch everything else, stay out of charge, and win with VPs or, once all the enemy mages are gone (if that's possible), magic them to death. Curse of Years is king in a field without extra dispel dice.
Anyhows, thought I'd read up on how some fellow vamps do things, but thought this sort of intro best for saying Hi. I don't imagine I'll be posting alot here, but I should be here daily to read up on things. :)
PS. The reason this army will never change is because it's "cheesy". I use Vampire Counts on the days I don't feel like working out a complex strategy for winning. Just alot of dice rolling and enemies dying (not so often really, but sometimes....). And on days I have to face other 'cheese', such as a Greater Demon or someone who likes using a Dragon in their army. :P My -other- army can't beat a Greater Demon or even a Dragon even with the best of rolls.
