500 pt Picket Line

[Ricer]

Well I am trying to build a starting army something small to learn with and this is what I have come up with.

Picket Line:
Necromancer
- Level 2 Wizard
Skeleton Warriors (10)
- Skeleton Champion
- Musician
- Standard Bearer
- Spears
Zombies (20)
- Musician
Zombies (20)
- Musician
Crypt Ghouls (10)
Corpse Cart

Total 500 points

I think my idea is to test how zombies do in tar pitting and how I can move my ghouls around to finish the enemy units off. the corpse cart is there to give a Always Strike First ... not totally sure on all the rules but I am thinking a good starting force.:grave:

10 Skellies won't do anything but die quickly even at such low points. The spears on them are useless because you lack of a third rank. So there is no one that can use them anyway.

As far as I can see, you have got nothing that can actually kill stuff. 10 ghouls are too less for such a job.

I am new to VC as well and had my problems with this very low point games. I figured out that without any killy stuff like some BK or GG or something like that you wont't do enough damage. I learned the hard way...

Well maybe I should build 1000 point Picket List, because I am having issues trying to get 500 point list with a killing unit.

How about this then?
1000 Point Vampire Count Picket Line


Mannfred The Acolyte
- Barbed Nightmare

Crypt Ghouls (20)

Crypt Ghouls (20)

Vargheists (4)

Blood Knight (4)

The idea is to put Mannfred with the Blood Knights, I hear they are a killing unit. Also bring in a group of 4 Vargheists should be killing, right?
