You want Dark Elves. Alas, they are not a forgiving army. You will lose many games as you figure them out.

He's got a mind like a steel trap. By which I mean it can only hold one idea at a time;
it latches on to the first idea to come along, good or bad; and it takes strenuous effort with a crowbar to make it let go.

I've never played Vampire Counts but I must warn you,after watching my friend play games with his Vampires and after watching unit after unit of zombies get mowed down it doesn't seem the easiest army to play. :S

Vampire counts are one of the easier armies to play if you remember to keep your general alive and that your rank and file troops (skeles and zombies) are pathetic in combat.

Wait until the VC book comes out in a few months.
The new Blood Keep Knights are meant to be the most powerful cav in this edition and vamps have had super upgrades via increased flexibility.

Otherwise chaos. Very forgiving army, wildly flexible in that you change the characters and the whole feel of the army changes and brutal in combat. And slaanesh magic is close to the best in the game.

As long as you aren't fighting troops that are immune to psychology, like undead.

Actually only Enrapturing Spasms (which is, admittedly, one of the best spells in the game) doesn't work against ITP troops. The rest do.
