Hi all,

I've recently got into WHFB and have started a Vampire Counts army. So far I have a vampire and 15 skeletons but I'm planning on buying some more stuff hopefully this week.

Anyway, I've written a 500 point list as a starter army and was wondering what people think of it;

Hero
Vampire with heavy armour, enchanted shield and biting blade = 124 points

Core
20 zombies with full command = 80 points
15 skeletons with full command = 105 points

Special
10 grave guard with full command and banner of barrows = 190 points

Total = 499 points

This list should do alright, you are going to struggle with a Vampire General.
Under 1000pts you should probably take a Necromancer lvl 2 and focus him on magic.
