It's my first time using the site, and I figured that I could use some advice! Anyways, here is my current list.

1 Vampire Lord: (lvl 1)
-skabrath
-book of arkhan
-quick blood
-aura of dark mastery
-master strike
-dread knight
-hell steed

1 necro: (lvl 2)
-dispell scroll
-master of the dead

4 cairn wraiths
1 tomb banshee

48 zombies
-full command

47 zombies
-full command

35 skeletons
-full command
-the screaming banner

1 terrogheist
-rancid maw
-infested

5 hex wraiths

3 spirit hosts

Total: 2000

I had planned on putting all of my heroes within the block of skeletons. I would of course be putting all of my cairn wraiths and the tomb banshee on the front rank. Then, I would hide my necromancer in the second rank!

Also, I wanted to utilize 3 screams throughout the game. Therefore, instead of bringing 3 terrorgheists, I gave my vampire lord the ability to fly around and use his death scream, along with the tomb banshee. I also am assuming that I will be going up against pretty much every army.... so I was thinking that if I brought enough ethereal units, I would have the upper hand.

With my necromancer constantly throwing out invocation, I think I can grossly build up my skeletons and especially zombies. Anyways, what do you all think?

Well it is an interesting list in general. Some things to consider:

- Are you planing on a big frontage in the unit of skelies? ( characters and the command group got to be in the first rank of the unit)

- You can save some points by reducing the number of zombie units to 30

- Lord is too fragile, no ward save etc. If you insist in Skabscrath and book of arkhan, i would go then for curse of revenant, aura of dark majesty and beguile

- I think that with lvl1 lord and lvl2 necro your casting will be below average.

Let us know how you did with this list

so you are using all the wraiths and banshee as hero choices? I don't love the idea of that but tell me how it goes. it makes a banshee 15 more points >_> and in a 2000 point game your magic could be shut down easy with empire or dwarfs. that is a good amount of ethereal that i like but one high elf mage could make them go byebye....

I got rid of the full command for the skeletons, in order to have all ethereal units in the first rank.. The 3 shouts proved to be very good, I had a lot of luck with the rolls though. The vulnerable lord wasn't that big of a problem, he never died since I kept moving him around.

However, I would have liked to have a stronger magic phase, but oh well.

Bad news is, all 3 games I had were against chaos demons players... so the ethereal idea was shot right out of the window!! I was so upset.

I like the list, but next time, I am dropping the vampire lord, picking up a master necromancer and then dropping all of the zombies and some of the skeletons for ghouls.
