Why Play Vampire Counts
As with every army in these games there are a few reasons why you might want to play a Vampire Count Army. I feel the best way to expand upon this is to innumerate it in a list: 1) If you are a Feminist. Vampires are founded by a woman, she has a secret cabal of super powerful sexy lady vampires who want to enslave the world through a web of espionage via super secret sleep overs. 2) If you are small of frame or stature, and were possibly picked on. Now is the time for you revenge! not only will you have an army to do your bidding but theoretically with every enemy you kill your armies numbers increase. It is the perfect answer to all of that bottled up rage! Necromantic world conquest! 3) & 4) All right, this is going to fall under how you want interpret George Romero's Night of the living dead. Do you see the vast armies of undead as an allegory for rampant consumerism or for the domino effect of Com-nom-nom-unism. Alright now that you have that figured out, play the army ironically, you can simultaneously be playing Warhammer Fantasy and becoming a hipster. Or should you choose you could take the irony a level deeper but I cat handle that much hipster bullshit. 5) Is most of your wardrobe black? Do you listen to Feilds of Nephilim? Or if you lack the memory of the pre 9/11 world if you have read Twilight. Because this is an army lead by vampires. So yeah enjoy that. 5) Have you read Dracula? Have you watched "Lost Boys"? Do you long for the vampires that rip out throats and don't apologize? Do you long for the century living corpses who live off of the blood of the living and have not a care or concern for the cattle beneath them well then you are in luck this is the fucking army for ya! 666) Plans that involve summoning dark necromantic magics.

Named Characters
Note: Under the current edition, named characters tend to be overpriced; you can pretty easily emulate most named characters from scratch and save yourself some points. That said, a few named characters do have abilities and wargear or wargear combos unique to them, so if you absolutely need to have them, go ahead. Just make sure you're really getting your points worth.
Generic Characters
Note: While named characters are judged against their generic counterparts, generic characters are examined based on their role in your army.
