				<title>[2500] - Vampire Counts - Competitive? for Vamps that is?</title>
				<description><![CDATA[ I am thinking of getting started on a Vampire counts army and would like to know if this list looks viable as a competitive army? <br /> <br /> Do I have too many eggs in one basket (ie the Vampire lords costing tons of points, too many characters etc...)<br /> Should I drop the 2 necromancers for a lvl3 Master nerco with  dispel scroll? <br /> How does my core/special look? <br /> enough redirectors and units to clog up the battle field? should the zombie unit be one big unit instead? <br /> Should I have a corpse cart? what would I drop to get one?<br /> <br /> Any ideas and suggestions would be great. Thanks<br /> <br /> here is the 2496point army <br /> <br /> LORD<br /> Vampire Lord w/ <span class="glossaryitem" onmouseover='gp(347);'>lvl</span> 1, Barded nightmare, heavy armour, shield, Dragon helm, Ogre blade, Talisman of preservation, Quick blood and Red fury. 428 points <br /> <br /> Heroes<br /> Wight King w/ <span class="glossaryitem" onmouseover='gp(174);'>BSB</span>, Barded steed, Heavy armour, Shield, Lance 139pts<br /> <br /> Necromancer w/ <span class="glossaryitem" onmouseover='gp(347);'>lvl</span> 1 with dispel scroll. 90pts<br /> <br /> Necromancer w/ <span class="glossaryitem" onmouseover='gp(347);'>lvl</span> 1 with Book of Arkhan  90pts<br /> <br /> <br /> CORE<br /> 2x5 Dire wolves. 80pts total<br /> <br /> 2x30 Zombies with Musician. 190pts total<br /> <br /> 38 Crypt Ghouls incld Crypt Ghast. 390pts <br /> <br /> SPECIAL<br /> 12 Black Knights w/ full command w/ Banner of the borrows (should the Knights and grave guard switch banners?), Barding, Lances. 392pts<br /> <br /> 30 Grave Guard w/ Full command w/ (Banner of swiftness or Flame banner?), Great Weapons.  400-4005pts<br /> <br /> 3 Varrgheists. 138pts<br /> <br /> 2x2 Fell Bats.  64pts total<br /> <br /> 2x1 Spirit Host. 90pts total.<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <span style="font-size: 9px; line-height: normal;">Automatically Appended Next Post:</span><br /> The Vampire lord seems a little overkill. I am not sure if I should change anything on him or leave him be? <br /> I think that taking a level 3 (4 if I can get some points) Master necromancer with a dispel scroll is a better choice than 2 level 1 necromancers.<br /> <br /> I am thinking a larger unit of zombies instead of 2 speed bump units might be more useful. one unit of 60 too big? would 50 be better? taking 1 horde of 50 zombies saves me points and I just hit core at 625points if I do this.  This also gives me enough points to take the Master Necro.<br /> <br /> Also I think I will give the Grave guard the burrow banner and the Black knights the Swift Banner. <br /> <br /> I am also on the fence about either taking the Vargheists or Crypt Horrors.  I like the Vargheists because they can work independently of a vampire and they fly, But the Horrors are tougher and poison is always nice?   ]]></description>
