Hey guys!
Ive been playing vc for over a year now and really enjoyed it. And now Im think of another army.
I want one that isnt like vc play style. Ive been thinkin on empire. Like to cheese alot but to have many options on FUNLISTS are most important to me.
Any suggestions? pls tell me the army you have been enjoing most of playing.

//thx

Go for either O&G or maybe beastmen, Tomb Kings are also a good army to get into, that is if you like apinting bones that is.

yee, o&g have past my mind, sweet choises overall, but when it comes to hero customization they have a dip. But thats what is happening to all armys when they get new rules in 8thed i belive. Tomb kings are to simillair vc.

Are you looking for a different playstyle than your Vampire Counts? If so, then you should probably look into the Elven armies. Especially Wood Elves and Dark Elves have a pretty nice shooting phase, and all Elves are sort of glass cannons. This requires a playstyle different to the 'it doesn't matter if you kill a couple of models, they can be brought back'. Additionally, using the higher movement of the Elves to outmaneauvre your opponent (especially with Wood Elves) will be a change of pace from the fairly straightforward Vampire Counts march of the blocks.

orcs! and/or Goblins!

Recently I've been eyeballing High Elves. I generally have a "no elves" rule but they do have a few cool appealing things.
1. Sea Guard have bows
2. Sword Masters have 2 attacks and great weapons, they also strike first even with the great weapons and with an I of 5 they are probably going to be able to reroll misses. WS6 too!
3. A core can have a magic banner worth up to 25 pts. Those 30 Sea Guard give them flaming attacks.
4. Spear wielding elves get to attack in an extra rank on top of the extra rank for spears so standard 4 ranks attack, hoarded? Then 5 ranks attack.
5. They have the plastic general and mage kits similar to empire, you can have a plastic only army if you wanted.
6. With IoB sets on ebay you can start a army really cheap for example:
1 IoB HE Set $40 Ebay
1 HE Battalion $80
1 Sword Masters - 10 for $19-$21 Ebay
1 HE Prince and Nobel Set -$19 Ebay
1 Book - $20 Ebay
$180 for a 2,000+pt army, yes please, want to bump it up to 2,500 add a $15 Teclis.

O&G for sure its just funny silly goodness.
Most ability to be silly and effective.

Just for funlists play beastmen, their hard to get right but the amount of monsters they can put put is sheer class

Im starting to drewl when I think about a horde of pheonix guards

Lizardmen!

Skaven!

Random, Big Creatures, Funny Guns, Great Models!

Skaven lizards or high elves!!!!!!(I play all three, high elves were my first army so they are my favorite but they are all awesome)
