you don't have enough punch in your list, 20 grave guards won't do much and only one terrorgheist will get shot by everything the opponent has

Also your lord miss some key element like OTS and quickblood and you are up by 15 point in core, drop 3 skeletons

edit: forgot it's a 1500pts games so that's why your lord is half blender :P

If you run Black Knights your characters should also have mounts.

Also split the Spirit Hosts up into three units, there is no reason to have them in one.

i imagine your vamp lord and vamp hero have heavy armor and shield? and the vamp hero won't do much with only quickblood, take 3 vargheist instead to get some punch, and you are still over 15pts in core cut 3 more skeleton

edit: and your necro should be lvl 2

Kallypso, good call with the armor on my vamps. I have 375 of core and that is 25%.

I hated to let the Spirit Hosts go...

ok, Here is my Final list that I have to send in... any advice on Tactics would be helpful!!!
1. I am going to stick the necro with the Zombies and try to build up that tar pit
2. Vampire with the Skeletons I will run them a bit behind and on the frank of the Zombies so that I can try to flank attack
3. Vamp Lord with the Black nights and hit them with the hammer.
4. Terrorghist - then normal scream and fly
