A few months before the latest book came out, I started Vampire Counts. I wanted to make a unique army, based around making a mockery of the gleaming High Elf ranks (in other words, some sort of decaying/mutated High Elves) - and Vamps were ideal for that.
I've put a lot of time and effort into the army, and still am doing so. But with this recent mindset of Vampire Counts being overpowered, and being one of the top two armies ... it's just put me off them a little bit.
They're my favourite army, without a doubt - I love everything about them. But when I win games I want it to be because I have played well, not because I'm playing an army that is easy to win with. I don't want to feel as though I can't take items because they're too good, or feel as though I should purposely avoid certain units.
Maybe in time things like the Drakenhof Banner won't be as bad. When Lizards start dishing out 2D6 Strength 5 hits from their stegadons, and other armies get their new books it might even become mandatory. But at the moment I'm just feeling a bit put off Vampires.
Anyone else feel the same way?
