Right, first attempt at a VC list.. appologies for some of my item names, don't have the book on me at the moment

2400 point list

ghoul king, lore of vamps, +3 Attack Sword, +3 Strength Potion
necromancer, level 2, power stone
necromancer, level 2, that VC bound magic missile
necromancer, level 2
cairn wraith
cairn wraith

40 ghousl, champ
21 zombies, standard
20 zombies, standard
20 zombies, standard
6 crypt horrors
6 crypt horrors
mortis engine with the tome
terrorgiest

plan is to run the horros & ghouls right up the middle, with support from the mortis engine. The necros will all huddle in the zombie units right behind this just summoning zombies and other magic goodness. ghoul king will either be with the ghouls, or against horde armies he'll lead in a zombie unit.

the horrors are in 2 units so that they are easier to raise back to full strength (i.e i can heal both units with one spell).. and if somehow they're in a combat to lose all 6 of em in one turn then they're doing it wrong anyway.

wraiths and terrorgiest are there to tie up monsters and small units, potentially protecting flanks. If anything bigger comes toward a flank then my plan is just to advance a zombie unit up to do some tarpitting goodness.

I would suggest a corpse cart any time you take zombies for the reroll. Also 20 zombies is a bit on the low side, remember that each IoN you get off will on average give you 9 zombies. The corpse cart will on average add 36 zombies to each unit over the course of the game (assuming all 3 IoN's go off and average dice rolls). Also ghouls and crypt horrors with ASF and rerolling poisoned attacks is always nice.

I have not tried low zombie counts the raising them since 8th, but I would be careful. However it looks like you have the needed magical support so let us know how it works.
