First ever 2000pts armylist

[Balvine]

Well here is my first ever list of Vampire Counts. Dont even know if anyone would play with a list like this. Left out zombies because you can raise them anyway, so I thought that I wouldn't need any at the start of the battle. Tell me what you think. Any help is more than welcome.

Vampire Lord Imbibo Von Cruor 445pts
Magic level
Master of the Black Arts
Forbidden Lore
Lord of the Dead

My general. Little worried about his cost since I come from the Skaven world where everything is as cheap as soap:grin:

Vampire Rapio Von Cruor 180pts

This fellow helps my general at summoning skellies and Ghouls if general fumbles.

With all the magic, why not make the skele units smaller and raise into them? That way use save some pts and maybe put it into a unit with some more punch like GG. No special units is impressive and very comp. friendly!!

Hmm.. In order to take Grave Guards I'd have to drop the other Vargulf and some skellies to boot. But with those gone I could have a unit of 15 GG with great weapons and full command. Or maybe just drop the other Vargulf and take 10 GG. What do you think? Twin Vargulfs or Vargulf and GG? If Grave Guard, then 10 or 15 of them?

Decided to give it a go with 15 Grave Guards with GWs, so I dropped the other Vargulf and some skellies.
