Hi to all. I started playing WHFB more than 12 or so years ago.. had a hiatus and picked up my old High Elf army again... after a year or so playing with them I've had the itch to start another army... this time Vampire Counts... I want to try something completely different so this year i will be slowly aiming myself towards a themed vamp list that'll use models from mantic, reaper and converted GW models at the least... I love to convert but not paint... luckily that can wait at the moment..

Hello all!
As you may have guessed I am new here, so, onto the introduction:
I'm VengeanceCrusader, I have been collecting/gaming with VC for the past few years, under the last edition I played a Blood Dragon army and thus is my vampire archetype under the 'new' rules.
Currently I am slowly replacing all of my old skeletons with the new ones (as the new plastics are ace
) almost done now...only 15 more to paint 
All in all I have about 3,000-4,000 points (allthough 4000 would be pushing it I think :S- talk about blood from a stone...)
Onto non-warhammer stuff,
I'm English and I live in the middley-bit of it. lol.
I am a student in mysecond year of study at university studying Medieval History.
My intrests (besides warhammer) include Fencing, 12th Century Battle reenactment, gonig to gigs/festivals (my preferred music is Metal/Gothic stuff).
SO...
...thats me
All the best,
VengeanceCrusader.

Welcome to CN both of you!
@Darkhour, make sure you get those WIP pictures up if you're a converter!
@VengeanceCrusader, a fellow blood dragon player, nice to see the old blood liners die hard

Hello everyone... My name is Leandros and i've been playing Warhammer for 8 years now... I am from greece (that explains my bad use of grammar) and I also play with Lizardmen...Surprisingly I found the chance to start my Vampire Counts army and the first thing i thought it was to find a forum which specializes in them... Sooo... Nice meeting you all and I'm looking forward talking to you through posts...
Have many bloody battles...

Hello all, New to forum but not new to Vampire Counts. I was starting to get a bad rep as a one trick pony and needed some fresh ideas. Ive read almost the entire strategy section and got some great ideas. Thanks to all. A little about my user name: Krell Mordai was one of the rare characters during my years playing AD&D who never died during campaign that reached High levels while starting at levl 1. he was a PC necromancer. He later returned to the RPG scene as a villian when i started to DM. Nowadays he is a fluff character in my warhammer group. Each of us has written a storyline for our generals or characters of note. I could post it if anyone is interested. nice to meet you all.

Alrighty! Time to get acquainted!
I am BustedBrush and I like to think of myself as painter and hobbist 1st and gamer second. With that noted, let me just say that I LOVE playing Warhammer. I've been a vc player for about 3 years now and I'm proud to say I really enjoy the whole aspect of what they bring to the table, both through fluff and gameplay. Nowadays after being a hobbist for a few years and small time commission painter/converter I decided to join and share my painting and gaming knowledge with fellow vampire counts from all over the world through this forum.
See you guys/gals around!

I'd like to welcome all of those that I haven't said 'Hi' to yet. I've already seen you recent ones around the forums so just carry on!
That's just what the fiction forum is for. You'll find it at the bottom of the index list.

It seems I haven't welcome anyone in along time, so I'll do as MasterSpark did in the post above and do a massive collective Welcome; Cheers to everybody who has joined lately, and may you all start nice and shiny painting logs !

Hello all.
I live in Michigan and have been playing Warhammer for about 2 1/2-3 years now with my main army being Skaven, I have about 5000pts of the rats so far. I decided to join up here so I can more effectively help my brothers son get into Warhammer as he seems interested in Vampire counts and I would like to help.
I am also a rabid modeler/converter and have converted many a thing in the past with black knights being my most recent, infact I did them last night. I also am a sculptor in my spare time and if you ever visit UnderEmpire.net (Skaven forum) check out my Sculpted Abomination.

Welcome Fumico.
Even though you say you've only been playing Warhammer for some two years, it is quite clear that you have been into miniatures before, one way or another (either that or you're just super talented and have developed your skills real fast), because that rat is beautiful. If you can put up pictures of pieces like those here on this forum I'll be overjoyed.

Hello I am Laharch von Dragoi and im am new to this site. I have been playing VC for about two years but since i am stingy my army only only goes up to 3000. Most of wich are converted skeletons and zombies from extra parts. I need help on a stratgey on facing Skaven , my friend, but i love to make up characters and stat's for them. A little about my name is that he is a vampire i made up that had all the bloodline powers thatrotated via dice roll, hence the name is a combination of the bloodline names.

Hey all, name's Marrok. I've been playing fantasy for about four years now. Before that I played a bit of 40k and I intermittently play historicals especially napoleonics.
I have about 4k of Empire, 2-3k of Brets, and about 2k of VC (I'm a VC newb, just got my army and I'm going to be using it this saturday).
I live with my wife and 6 month old son near Chicago, Illinois and I work for an Insurance company. I got my B.A. in political science from Northern Illinois University in '08.

Welcome
B.A.? That's short for bachelor? Anyhow, that's pretty cool. I always wondered if the USA universities correlate a bit like the movies. It does a bit where I study, but that's just willpower if you want to party or not. :tongue:
It's a pretty big change from humans to undead, but I think you'll adjust. There is plenty to participate in: the RPG, called The Vampire Council, member-made army lists called Bloodline Armies and Nagash' Legion, reading The Invocation (our webmag) in the navigation at the top, adding yourself on the Member Map by going to the panel at top Forum -> Member's Locations, joining the Painting Competition in the Grave News forum, and getting your CN sig banner in the Bloodlines forum (sticky)!
Anyways welcome here, I hope you find something interesting to do!

Hello Jan and welcome to Carpe Noctem.
You've definately come to the right place to learn how to better use your army. I suggest you have a look around the To War! section further down the index for gameplay do's and don't's and also the painting sections for help with making your miniatures look good while they kick some rear and take names.
If you've any questions, feel free to ask.

Welcome Jan-Z, fellow dutchman!
I hope you play Vampire Counts, then we can help you the best way we know
A good start is the Tactics section indeed. Our webmag The Invocation contains some good articles too, basically on all stuff but also tactics.
If you want to indulge yourself into other stuff: we have a paint competition running (Grave News forum), a running RPG who can always use new blood (The Vampire Council forum), paint logs (The Dead Shall Walk) and two member-made army lists, calld Nagash' Legion and Bloodline Armies.
You can also get a neat signature banner here: https://www.vampirecounts.net/showthread.php?tid=4650
Cheers,

Hi! I'm from Finland. I have played Warhammers 40k for four years and now starting VC.
I started to play WH fb because i got 3k points of miniatures for quite cheap. Plus in 40k I hadn't had a proper opponent for a long time(space marines, eldars and imperial guards are just too good. :mrgreen
I have about 80 skeletons, 10-12 characters, (mounted, on foot etc.)20 dire wolves, corpse cart, 15 riders, (blood knights perhaps) and much much more.

Hello, I'm new one here.
I've been collecting Vampire Counts from 1999., although I never played with them too much.
I "hate" painting miniatures, but I love and enjoy in converting them :devil2:

Welcome ice warrior and SilverDragon!
You got quite an army already, ice warrior. I hope to see them painted in the paint blog forum!
SilverDragon, I've seen some crazy stuff converted here. I'll like to see the conversions! The current Golden Bat competition has some nice conversions, check out the spirit dwarf coming out the banner and the zombie dragon on this page:
https://www.vampirecounts.net/showthread.php?tid=7240&page=2
and a fellow croatian just posted up some great converted Spirit Hosts:

Count Orlok

Good evening...
I'm Count Orlok and have intermittently been a WHFB player since the bygone days of the Third Edition, if you can believe that, though truth be told I was always more in to painting and converting the figures than to waging battles with the results. This all makes me pretty old, I suppose, though I'm not saying exactly how old.
I've been a good person all my life in the sense of fielding armies like High Elves, Dwarves and other goody-two-shoes types. I feel the need to be evil for a change and have always been a big fan of Victorian horror novels (and also need to return to WHFB after a lapse of several years due to things like jobs) so Vampire Counts it is.
No figures as yet, though my eBay watch list grows by the day and my trusty hobby knife and sculpting tool are glowing in anticipation.
I'll keep you all posted on developments.
