Hello everyone! I'm just getting back into Warhammer after a long hiatus. Used to be a High Elf player but I've decided to switch over to VC. I'm trying to get a friend into the game as well so he bought the IoB and will be trying out High Elves (I haven't looked but I believe that is about 450-500pts of HE?). So I'm looking for ideas for an army that can be built to range from about 500-1500 points. Of course I know at 500pts there will be models left out. But I'm just looking for a good start that I can kinda adapt around to point limits in that range. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

Hi Vyperhate - and welcome to the forum!
I would suggest getting some ghouls for core, some CH for specials, a MN and a TG and then sprinkle whatever you like on top of that

Cool thanks, here is what I'm thinking right now.
1000pts (994)
Lords:
Master Necromancer, Lv4 (Or would be it better to leave him Lv3 and grab a magical item?)
Core:
20x Ghouls, Ghast
20x Ghouls, Ghast
Specials:
3x Crypt Horror, Haunter
Rare:
Terrorgheist, Rancid Maw, Infested
How's that look? As for beyond that, I'm debating between adding/swapping in some zombies or skeletons. I'd also like to expand into a Mortis Engine or Coven Throne (leaning towards the latter) as well as a VL. Any advice on how to do that? Thanks, gonna be shopping for this stuff this coming week. Looking forward to getting back into the game.

Looks pretty good, I would combine the two Ghoul units into one, cut some ghouls(get them to around 35, which is okay at 1k) and get a unit of 20 zombs as a bunker for the MN. Also don't upgrade the TG, it's not meant for close combat so the upgrades are a waste. Level 4 is very good, but you need to keep the unprotected MN in a bunker.¨
The Coven Throne is fun, but not that competetive(IMO) - I would suggest the ME instead(two is even better). The great thing with that kit is that you get 3 mounted female vampires(if you have 3 horses), 3 banshees(who you can with easy converting put on bases) and a MN that can also easily be put on a normal base.

I am gonna suggest somthing a little different. Zombies and dire wolves for core and some black knights as a hammer led by fighty baby vampires. A single spirit host is worth its weight in any size of game but at 1000 pts is gonna have lots of options for good units to hold up. Far less magic but way more versitile and great map control.
