The Weekly Top X - Vampire Counts Round Up

Right, right, right - it's Friday, the HoP blog roll search feature is humming along at full power and you're all waiting for a post.  It's Top X time!  All we need now is a topic.

Let's go with a topic torn from yesterday's headlines and see what the new Vampire Counts release has to offer us besides an epic WTF moment.

you could say I'm 'reanimating' the topic.

 As I was last time, I will be making extensive use of the search feature to show of it's raw powers of information retrieval.

It slices!  It dices! It's machine washable!  More importantly, the search tool allow me to really scrape the cobwebs off the ol' rafters - if ya know what I mean.  I guess what I'm saying is that it's a very deep search.  It also makes my job easier on two fronts - post finding and innuendo.

 - Meta Gaming: Gamers, Privilege and the Matter of Heinrich Kemmler: I know I said I wanted to talk about aspects of the Vampire Counts besides controversy, but Von posted this up in our comments and it's damn good
 -Vampire Counts: Eating My Words?: A nice, general overview of the changes that Phil hath wrought on the new book.
 -  WFB: Why I Shouldn’t Be Excited For Vampire Counts: A nice overview of all the problems plaguing the previous VC book.  It's a companion piece to the 'eating my words' post.

 - 2500pt VC army brainstorm: Some preliminary army theory and a list.

 - My Idea for a TV Show: Yes, I'm promoting my own blog and yes it's basically a joke post.  But I am completely serious about making sure people acknowledge how bad ass the new Krell model is.

Late entry:  The Jersey General
 - The Dead Have Risen: Another excellent review of the VC's new hotness. With a very welcome focus on the completely new stuff.

All right, I think that's enough of a taste of what the Vampire Counts have to offer besides the grim specter of the Schutzstaffel.  It's honestly a neat little book aside from that misstep.

Now, if I left anyone out, link to your creative juice in the comments and I'll add to the list after apologizing in the only way I know how - with mere words.
