Post: #1Help with my army
Hi everyone,

I am new to the forum and new to vampire counts. Also i should probably mention I am a novice at playing Warhammer Fantasy so the odds are not in my favour.

Just needed a bit of help with my army list. I have listed below what I own and just need to know what else i need as most of mine is core and I don't think skeletons can win a battle for me. Also it would be helpful if you could advise me on what the troop types are useful for. I know that skeletons can be used just to hold up the enemy, but would i have my wizard with unit or just behind it. I know that some of the characters in my list I won't be able to use as they cost so many points but just need some goos substitutions.

My current army list is as follows:

35 Skeletons with swords
Corpse Cart
20 Crypt Ghouls
10 Dire Wolves
3 Vargheists/Crypt Horros (not sure which one to field)
Vlad Von Carstein
Vampire Lord

Is the above enough to field in a battle?

This is a list if what I think I need, obviously correct me if I am wrong which I most probably am:

10 Grave Guard
Wight King
2 X Necromancers
Count Manfred
20 Zombies

Let me know what you think. Any help is much appreciated smile

Thanks

You'll probably get more luck in the Fantasy Army List section. As this is the 40k list section:-)

Whoops didnt realise lol. Cheers for letting me know
