Hey Mod King Ulrik Flamebeard, I don't understand why you deleted my list. I'm not trying to argue with you or anything, but I read the rules and posted everything how you wanted it to be done. I labelled my post properly, I never gave individual weapons costs, and I really am just looking for advice. I'm not trying to usurp Gamesworkshop by giving away free rules, nor am I trying to attract the wrong kind of attention to this forum. The most information I gave away would be the cost of some units, but only if you were to divide the point cost by the number of units in the squad. This is almost impossible to avoid if you want anyone to see the composition of your army list without wondering to themselves how many of x model was taken in a unit. And even then, it is still possible to figure it out if you so much as even put a half-hearted effort into figuring it out. I'm not trying to get anyone else in trouble, but I can see plenty of other lists that besides from being formatted differently are completely identical to mine. It's just a little annoying because I took the time to make my list look presentable so that it wouldn't be written off by a reader at first glance just because it was messy. Alright, now that I'm done my cry baby rant I can start to get some help from the people of this forum.

DavidVC04, I can see your qualms with my 1000 point list and agree with pretty much everything you've said. I'll probably make all the changes you have suggested, especially about the Wight Lord being mounted and the Necromancers having some more gear.

With the 3000 point list, I know that you probably think its cheesy to have so many Necromancers and magic dice in a battle this size, but I just like the idea of being able to cast so many spells in the magic phase. I don't even mind if it does mean getting a Necromancer or three obliterated due to magical feedback. Also, I can't decide how many points to spend on Skeletons and Grave Guard/Black Knights. I'm new to Warhammer Fantasy, as I just came from the Warhammer 40,000 universe, so I don't really know how the game mechanics work in the larger [3000 points] battles. Any help would be appreciated in concern to how many points I should take of each unit in this size of a battle.

There are only a few things I don't see reason for in your post. The first is that only 1 Master Necromancer can be taken in a 3000 point battle. I'm not gonna go into specifics, but I was under the impression that if I had sufficient points to meet the criteria, I could take what I wanted as long as it followed the instructions given in the "Choosing Characters" section in the Vampire Counts army book.

I don't have the rulebook yet, but from what my friends have been telling me I should be able to take as many magic items as I want. The only restrictions are not taking duplicates of a magical item (aside from power stones and dispel scrolls) and staying within the given maximum total value of magic items for each character. Sorry I'm still new at this, but I want to make sure I know what I'm talking about so that I don't do anything illegal during a game.

Thanks for bearing with me, and I'll post my lists more strictly in the future.
