Hello to all

This is my first attempt at writing a list for 8th ed and would like some opinions/ suggestions

The goal is pretty simple:
* using the three necromancers to increase the zombies to 50-70. should only take about two turns at a total of 6D6+5 averaging to 26 per unit per turn.
* using the big blocks of zombies to tie up the nasty enemy units in a war of attrition.
* using the Dire wolves to get rid of fast cav or maybe a chariot or two if i'm lucky.
* using the Vargheist to flank and kill weak enemy units, generally core units.
* The corpse cart is there to facilitate the IoN and as a fear factor, most players probably would fear huge blocks of ASF especially since the zombies are S3 T3 now.

This is pretty much it, but i haven't actually got any experience using the new undead so any suggestions would help me alot.

Sounds like you know what you want and made the right kind of list to do it.

My first suggestion would be to find a way to take staff of damnation which is a AoE spell now. So 3 units of ASF zombies with +1 attack? This battle just turned from a war of attrition into a meat grinder.
