Hey guys,
Just picked up a used VC army off a young fella' in anticipation of a new book release, for Christmas, and because my other two armies I've been playing for some time and would like a change of tactic.
I think my main attractions to running a VC would be raising the dead, the versatility of the vampire characters(loremaster mostly), and unbreakable.
The reason's I searched out this site? well, I can see this being a real "thinking man's" army, and maybe some help couldn't hurt? After going through the book for a little while now I have put together a small 1500 pointer to get acquainted with them. No rares... is that a bad thing? o.o
Also, I was wondering where the best place to ask questions on strategy or theory? I am considering using "The lore of heavens"("Vampires from space" a cheesey B movie? lol), The "lore of death"(attack LD) or the "lore of metal"(try to make his artillery stupid). Playing O&G and kinda worried about his shooting phase, figured the "comet" or the 6 spell for metal(name escapes me) would be nice. Most likely up against a hoard of savage orcs, chaff, and some heavy shooting/artillery. I'd like to stay offensive with my spells, rather than defensive.
I'd love to post my list in the appropriate location and get some feedback!
Cheers!
