Favourite Race not in WAR

Simple question. Do you have an army from the tabletop that you would like to emulate, or have you been into one races lore in particular. Also you have free reign to say what class(es) you would like these races to have.
For me its Wood Elves. I would love to play a waywatcher scouting round the border or in far off lands.

I gotta give it up for the Vampire Counts. They could have some very cool classes between Wight Lords, Vampire Counts (with the different houses? Carstein 4tw!), Necromancers, Undead Knights, etc. Lots to delve into with the Undead in the Warhammer lore.
I personnally think a Vampire Count with some cool combat abilities and some light necromantic magic would be pretty kickass. Solid fighters with some solid evil offensive / zombie summoning magic to boot. Could be fun...
It's just classic medieval-ness.
A close second would be Lizardmen or Undead.
And yes, the undead leaders would be very difficult to best, but if they had to go from being a skeleton, to a zombie, to a ... whatever ... then they should be hard to kill.
Wood Elves! I love em. Just got Rulebook and Armybook couple of days ago and now I'm gonna go for Battalion.
I dont know much about the warhammer franchise...but out of that list VAMPIRE COUNTS sounded very kewl
I've said it before, but.. Vampire Counts simply won't work as a playable race. Do you know what a battlemage is? Well, think.. EXTREMELY potent caster. Casters that can take down entire regiments with a single spell. Vampires are just as powerfull. True, they don't take down entire regiments - They create their own regiments. They truely are 'An army of one will'.
- Remember Nagash!? - the miniature was huge! (where did I put it?... I know it's under my bed somewhere lying in slumber - dead but living...) anyway I tend to like all the other Undead special characters as well.
Second would be Kislev (I do have a v small Kislev army
about Wood Elves. I would love to see them ingame, but I think they
will be one of the last races to make it into the game (as a playable
race), because there are allready 2 Elven races. And eventhough as I
said I would love to see them ingame, I think 2 elven races are
enough...

still prefer my Skaven Warlord with the Chaos Armour, magical banner
and the dwarf bane weapon. The friend I play against plays dwarves. He
hates my Warlord. Threw a whole unit of longbeards at him and he killed
them all on his own. :P
well boris is a v good
hero to fight alone against big units. He got that special ability that
for every attack made to him, he can make an attack back. So when
fighting a unit spearmen, 4 spearmen in base contact, 2 ranks makes 8
attacks + his own attack + attacks of his mount (that bear is fucking
cool!) = pretty damn much
but yeah, I mostly make my own characters, I like that more then using a special character.

Vampire counts all the way, they rule!! And manfred kicks much booty
.
If you've played Warhammer, or more to the point played Vampires, you'll know who manfred is.
Manfred Von Carstein! The original bad boy in black. He's a bad SOB.
) with a huge mod army of units mixed with Skeletons, Zombies, and the Bretonnian Men at Arms models. It was a bit expensive but man did it look good and Vampire Counts was so much fun.
I use to play Carstein Vampires (Sylvannian Levy-ish so I could have archers
I played against tons of Chaos players and they always got so mad when I summoned zombie units and skeleton flanks on their knights.
Should've seen the look on their faces.
Never underestimate a Carstein...
I can say that I lived that experience and yeah I guess I had that look ->
on my face when Manfred summoned his skells... damn him! (oh and btw I was Chaos).
Vampires ftw,
btw.... Strigoi are aweseomous
And as to the poll, its nice to see a good spread of votes, even Chaos Dwarves got some which is surprising.
I turn to you now, father death. I beg of you, please consider you may have been wrong...
-Blind Guardian
Drunken, angry, Russian-esque barbarian people. It's just too awesome. Oh, and mounted archery FTW.
Skaven would be my top pick
Secondly would be the Beast of Chaos.
Both races are pretty damn cool looking.

Amazons!
They were in the original release of Warhammer (black books) and lived in Lusitania with the Lizardmen... even had a line of Citidel models that were rather....umm... in a state of Undress... when they went to the Boxed sets and aimed the game for more mainstream audience the Amazons disapeared...
Yes sex sells, bring on the Amazons.
