Warhammer Fantasy Battles: Vampire Counts
Nasty Character Combos

The following combinations produce characters that generally excel at what they are supposed to, so you won't find Necromancers decked out for close combat and the like. Some of the following combos may seem obvious or simple (i.e. Necromancer with Staff of Damnation), but often the most obvious choices are overlooked, yet can be very useful. Additional commentaries on specific magic items and their specific usefulness to certain characters can be found on the Tips page under Magic Items. Vampires are not covered here as they will be done as a seperate article given the vast range of items and powers available to them.
