How are units/magic totalled? For example, if you add a War Banner to skellies in VC does the banner count toward core and items or just magic items?
Does BSB count as character and magic item or is the BSB selection like a mount?
On characters, do Vampiric Powers count as items or character or both? They are a messy mix of spellcasting additions, armor/weapons, banners and mounts.
Hard Boyz will suck but at least building the army is easy!

Brian, I believe Boldo counts them in all categories.
Warbanner in skellies all points count toward core %, but under magic item percentage the warbanner will count as it is a different question.
BSB "upgrade" is character point %, magic items on him are both as above.
Powers are both magic items % & character points %
And yes, in the end you are getting double-whammied.

I thought as much - just wanted to calculate correctly. I'm having a heck of a time putting together a 20+ comp VC army. I understand the double hit since the powers are not only killer by themselves - when added to an already nice Vampire they just rock.

I'm having a heck of a time putting together a 20+ comp VC army. I commend you for trying, but when you get down to it I'd guess most armies there will fall between 14-18. You have to balance the army's ability to win a game vs a nice comp score. While having 5 more points that the next guy is nice, if the next guy wins 3 more games than you all you did was make a soft list. And maybe better sports scores too for bringing a compy list...
