So I am assembling a list to face Vampire Counts under Warhammer Armies Project rules.
I am considering taking a Prince on Griffon
Characters:
Prince Ramesesis 366
Armour of protection, Amulet of Light, Lucky trinket
Shield, lance
Griffon with Shredding talons and Swooping strike
Celenna - Lv2 Magess 145
Starwood staff - High magic
Finlir - Lv2 Mage 145
Dispell scroll - Lore of Light 145
Selenoa - Battle Standard bearer 137
Sword of Anti-heroes, Enchanted Shield, Amulet of Fire - Heavy armour
Core
Wardens of Tor Eloc 359
29 Spearelves, Full command & Lichbone pendant
Amaranthine arrows 188
14 Archers, Hawkeye & Musician
Waveriders 187
6 Silver helms with Heavy armour, Lance and shield with Full command & Ranger standard
Mistnar reavers 215
20 warriors Full command medium armour & shield
Gleaming pendant
Special
1 Eagle claw Bolt thrower 60
1 White lion chariot 110
Silver manes 345
20 White Lions Full command & Banner of Courage
Crimson sisters 190
10 Sisters of Avelorn, High Sister
Rare
1 Great Eagle 50
2497 points
This is what I can field now. But I am not certain about the warriors. I shaved some points on the princes magical kit to make room.
Either that or I fiels the warriors with light armour.
Still, is there anything I should take instead of the warriors?
I really wish I had more Silver helms, RBT:s or chariots but this is what there is at the moment.
I have 20 Seaguards in reserve and could make 15-16 more spearelves and maybe 4-5 more archers from my bits.
Suggestions?

I don’t know the specifics of the Warhammer Armies Project. In general though, I like the Griffon and Lions because they focus killing power and offer ways of not getting bogged down in long combats. Having a reasonable amount of shooting and magic should always be helpful.

I think warriors are too expensive for what you get. HE just don't do generic infantry all that well. It's too expensive to field in large numbers to bog opponents down, and it's not strong enough to seriously threaten anything worth threatening.
But that might just be me of course. I've also not got a decent answer on what you should bring instead. Probably more close combat power, though an extra RBT could be nice as well.
