@Bull: Actually (as you can see in our facebook group) the League has come alive - the other semifinal is being played tomorrow night - It'll be interesting what I have to face in the final: Ogres or Skaven... I hope Skaven but I count on Ogres winning.
Not sure I deserve your respect, but thank you champ! Can't wait to face your mighty Ogres. I have 3 finished armies; my old and ugly Bretonnians (can't wait for a new book), my Lizardmen and of course my veteran VC

Of course I'll play with the VC against you, anything other would be blasphemy. Maybe we should do a batrep for this lovely forum now that we are both active here?
@Aran: Yeah welcome to the forum dude! It's perfectly fine to want a themed list, not everybody play this game with the sole purpose of crushing other men's egos

Actually the Barrow King Theme was what I went with myself when I picked up VC for 8th edition. It can work, but it's alternative.
1. I recommend 40 GG with GW and Banner of the Barrows... these should be your centerpiece unit. They are great by themselves but even better if you bring Dual Engines and Necros that raise them as they take hits.
2. I wouldn't recommend BK as you don't field Vamps. Make them Hexies instead. 2 units of 10 shoud be pretty fearsome.
3. Don't use Krell, he is a waste of points (way too expensive) just use him as a normal WK. Some ideas for WK builds:
a. Armor of Fortune and Greatweapon.
b. Fencers Blades and Dragon Helm.
c. Enchanted Shield and Talisman of Preservation.
4. Get 4 Wraiths and put them in the front rank of Skeleton unit that is 5 wide. That way the enemy can only hit your Champion (which you raise the next magic phase).
5. In a Skeleton list I would actually consider Kemmler, he has some interesting things, and is quite cheap.
That's it for now - but ask away!
