Vampire

How do you guys equip your vampires?

I recently started a warband and just gave my vamp a sword and rope and hook, he is allready good at bouncing around and razing hell in combat. I figure that I'll give him LA just because I can, but other than that there really isn't much fun gear unless i get to give him "weapons-expert", but for the moment his only increase is +1WS.

Anxiously awaiting reply.

You could give him a club for a second weapon, or another sword and try and get Expert Swordsman.

The vampire has the best BS in a Undead warband, so you could give him a bow for when he can't quite reach his victims.

I'm a fan of the Blood Dragons models myself, so heavy armor, sword, and shield is the way to go for me. Even with the -1 to movement, he will still get into combat quickly. Plus I think he looks cool, which I think is the most important factor!

Town Cryer 11 -> Give him "Mist Form" & "Red Eyes" ^-^ ... plus 2 sword and mighty blow! waaaaaah!

Mine started off with a bow for range, and a sword / mace combo so I can get parry and concussion. I picked up a suit of light armor off of a stray corpse while exploring the ruins, so I tried pairing that up with a shield instead of the sword, but was unimpressed with how armor functions in this game - I gave up too much offense for the minuscule defense I gained.

Recently, I traded up to a halberd, and have been reaping the benefits of dishing out multiple S5 attacks. Tonight she got 3 kills, one of which was with her bow, and another of which was the enemy leader (damned Riechlanders!)

When you reach the 3° attack is statistical better to use the halbeard than the extra attack , great job.

P.s. I could never learn necromantic skill right? this is not goot.

No, you can do it only after the first battle.

Is there a way to learn necromantic spells for the vampire? or only lesser magics?

Only Lesser. Necromancy is only for necromancers.

Isn't a good home rule to permit the vampire to use necromantics spell-list?

It's quite good, but IMO lesser magic is great to show special vampiric skill such as turning into bat(fly), dread, summon bats (arrows).
