Hi,
I've just got the VC army box and don't know what to do!
We mainly play 800-1600 pt games so how shall I build them?

Entirely up to you most of the choices are pretty solid. Personally, mine are going to be:

Coven Throne (not a fan of the Mortis Engine, and it would be a crime to not use the Coven Throne, making a Lahmian army and all)
Terrorgheist (I don't really want a zombie dragon mounted vampire lord yet)
Black Knights (I prefer heavy cavalry to fast ethereal cavalry)
Vargheists (I'm hunting down some Werewolves to use as Crypt Ghouls)

The rest aren't really dual kit.

It's actually not a bad box for 1000pt starter games. You get just enough Core with 20 Skeletons and 10 Ghouls to make 250pts if you give the Skeletons the Screaming Banner. Don't take Zombies in such a small game - aim to raise them with Raise Dead. You'll want to hunt down a Vampire though - the only character on foot in the box is a Necromancer, and while good and cheap, you'll want the melee punch a Vampire brings.
