My local gaming club is doing a WH Fantasy escalation league starting at 500 points. I'm an avid 40K player, but I've never played Fantasy. I don't know much at all about the rules, armies, etc.
I'd like to do a Vampire Counts army and I'd like to get some advice and suggestions about building up a Vampire Counts army up from 500 points.
From poking around on the internet, it seems that a common suggestion at 500 points is a vampire with summon ghouls and a couple magic items combined with two x10 or so blocks of ghouls and either a varghulf or a unit of cairn wraiths.
How does a VC army tend to function in terms of strategy on the table top?
Would a list like the one above both function well at 500 points and serve as a good base to build up to 1000, 1500, 2000, and 2500?
If I was doing a 40K escalation league, I'd know just where to start, but not knowing anything about Warhammer Fantasy, I need some help about how to approach list building.
