As the title says, I'm new. New to this forum, new to Vampire Counts, new to Warhammer in general. Now, that's not to say I know nothing about Warhammer; I do know some about the setting, I have watched some local guys play a few games, and I've read some of the books. In fact, the books, specifically the Nagash trilogy, is what got me to finally give in and buy myself some miniatures.
Now, a bit about me; I'm a huge necromancy fan boy, an affliction I blame on Magic: The Gathering. I started playing at the tender young age of seven, back in 1995, and my first deck focused around Lim Dul, the Necromancer. I remember thinking that his ability was the coolest thing ever, and the rest is history. Because of this, I want to build a VC army that focuses on raising, controlling, and then re-raising hoards of undead, and Vampire Counts pretty much fits the bill.
Anything else? Um... oh, last bit of trivia - Xerxes is my actual, in real life name. In most forums, someone will have usually grabbed the name before I can, so I was quite gleeful that no one had taken it yet here.
