Opinions on these lists? I feel they should do quite well. I'd just love some feedback before firming anything up really

My plan is fairly simple, and similar for both really. Keep the Skeleton units buffed, and flank around with my dogs Varghulf and knights. Tie up any shooty units quickly with them whilst the rest advance, hit the GG into some combat goodness.

Thanks!

If you bring a lvl 4 caster to a 1k game, you need to build your list around him. Right now your important units is fast han he's in the center block. 5 black knights wont do you much good. They need to be a little bigger and with a char in them, to make a difference. Otherwise they'll just crumble to combat res.

Drop the doom wolf and go 2x5 instead.

You can only bring one scroll
drop the BK and get more GG.

I'm thinking you mean 3x1 SH and not 1x3.

Put the skeletons in the same unit.

I would get a bunker for the necroes. At least get the 4++ on the MN if you want him to survive the front rank.

Cheers for the feedback So for my 1k list, would swapping out my MN for a mounted Vampire work well?

Say something like

Vampire: Quick Blood, Heavy Armour, Talisman of Preservation, Shield, Barded Nightmare, Lance, lvl 2?

Then knock my skellies back to 30 rather than 29, and run only 5 wolves, putting my other points into more BK's?


For 1.5k run the wolves again in the 5, combine the skellies, add 1, and put my necro in there?

Thats a very defensive vampire build. Might work fine. The thing is, if he dies, you start crumbling. Crumblings no fun. I think i would take; red fury & sword of swift slaying. That leaves you with 25 points of magic items for defense. I would grab dawnstone for rerolls on armor saves. That should make him a killer and still be able to take somewhat of a beating.

a quick list
vampire
ha
lance
shield
barded mount
rf
sword of swift s.
lvl 2

2x 5 wolves
34 skellies (no command)

9 bk
barding + lances
full command

1 spirit host

perhaps drop the spirit host for a banner of the barrows.

This looks like a very nice start actually! Any advice on building up to 1500/2000 after this? I'm really not very good at vampire lists D:

Also, what can I use for a mounted vampire? I'm struggling to find a model I like...

 

[Joex48]

Okay, so I think I've settled on a list. How's this looking?

Hero:

Vampire - heavy armour, lance, shield, barded mount, sword of swift slaying(always strikes first), Dawnstone (re-roll armour saves), lvl 2, red fury - 220

Core:

5 Dire Wolves - xx
5 Dire Wolves - xx
35 skellies (no command) - xxx

Special:

9 Black Knights - barding, lances, full command, Banner of Barrows - 314
