Hi there,
We\'re having a tournament in early July, and I\'m going in with my Vampire Counts. Since I\'m mostly entering to play for fun (I don\'t get to play that often), I\'m going for a playable, but \"nice\" army build. The folks organising the tournament are aware that events like this are attracting a fair share of cheesy army lists, they decided to separate (for the first day, at least) the incoming rosters into three tiers: 1 would be hardcore tournament lists, 2 would be competitive but fair, and 3 would be the \"flower\" lists: \"nice\" and/or fluffy army composition. Ones may (in extremis) get points docked, while Threes get a minor points bonus and a minor special rule to \"help them out\" against the tougher ones.
So, I\'d like to hear your thoughts about my army roster so far, regarding estimated toughness as well as general thoughts on the composition. Here goes:
