http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/93.page JForum - http://www.jforum.net Vampire Wars and have been inspired to step away from 40k for a while and try warhammer, with the vampire counts army. So I was just wondering what kind of a 500 pt list would be decent. I'm not necessarily looking for competitive as I mostly play with friends and family (not a tournament guy) but I don't want to A) buy the wrong models, or B) get thrashed. I was thinking something like...

Leader:
(1) Vampire w/ Sword of might, and the flayed Hauberk: 140
Troops:
(40) Zombies: 160
(40) Zombies: 160
(5) Dire Wolves: 40
Total: 500
I don't have the actual army book for them, I was using one I found on a website. It claimed it was 7th ed. which I hope was most recent. As such please correct any mistakes, and any help for this list is welcome. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/376442/2945091.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/376442/2945091.page GMT
I think you'd do well against elite armies like brets.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/376442/2945242.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/376442/2945242.page GMT http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/376442/2945596.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/376442/2945596.page GMT http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/376442/2946277.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/376442/2946277.page GMT imo sux in 8th.

In 500 you cant really get so much for healing.
All im saying that he didnt wanted to be thrashed. With that in mind all im saying is that zombies never do so well. (with the current vc rules that is) ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/376442/2948172.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/376442/2948172.page GMT http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/376442/2948708.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/376442/2948708.page GMT

Fluff wise zombies are awesome. I would love to play my zombies, but they aren't worth the points to buy outright. I do use the Raise Dead spell all game long though. Raised zombies popping up out of nowhere can really challenge your opponents strategy!]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/376442/2948766.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/376442/2948766.page GMT
