So I'm finally getting to the point of looking into the vampire counts list, I've read the fanatic article on them which is really useful, but I see very little about them on here, so what wisdom do the ancient vampire lords have to impart to a young hopeful?
I'm looking into getting an army and as kallistra have a range of nice models I'll be bulking the force out with their skeletons, zombies and ethereal hosts
What would people suggest for a solid 2k list? A bit of everything or max out on black knights? I was thinking along the lines of:
6x skeletons
6x zombies
4x grave guard
2x ethereal host
4x black knights
4x dire wolves
Vampire lord
3x hero
2x necromancer
Ethereal hosts sit in front of a brigade of skeletons/zombies and hide in woods to make them hard to shift, or in front of units of grave guard to soak up cannonballs, dire wolves mob enemy elite units early on, black knights accompanied by black coach get stuck in to big blocks of infantry later on, magic users make themselves annoying, blocks of skeletons and zombies hide in terrain to deny break point
At this stage I'm looking for a 2k army with options, any advice?
