Some of the combos look good like the BKs and the vampires.
Varghulfs are great for versatility and survivability.
But, why 24 Skeletons.
Looks pretty solid but also, you may want to consider changing one of the vampires to help the other. By this I mean you should consider having either magic or combat focused vampires but not both.
Looks good so far though and I'm sure some of the more experienced players can give you better advice.

(Even if some of them are on the perverted side of the force.)
 
I would definately mount Xarina on a nightmare and put her (him?) with the black knights. Hatred + red fury on a hero choice is nothing but groovy. Also, be careful of having your general (Xaria I presume?) in a front-line infantry unit, with only a 5+ armour save, he/she will be easy for the enemy to pick off.

Other then that, it looks good to me. Welcome to Carpe Noctem as well! :)

Hi, let me add my welcome as well!

I agree, generally a pretty solid list, with a nice variety of troops. I would agree with masterspark, and maybe go further and say its only worth having red fury on a vampire if you can give them hatred from the banner or consistently Van hels them when in combat. So a mount would be useful. However, you are then unable to use the etherial movement, which I think is more important on small, flanking style black knight units. So I'd drop red fury and take Infinite hatred (pretty close to auto hitting anything WS 5 or less) and the +1 CR power.

I also think that you should concentrate on one core type - ghouls or skeletons, as that will allow you to get the most out of either lord of the dead or summon ghouls, depending on which way you want to go. 24 skeletons in a unit does seem a tad high, especially as your main caster has lord of the dead.

Which spells are you planning on taking on your necro?
 
Would it be a good idea to drop the compat vamp and put in a wk bsb, and either mount him with the bk?
 
I'm not sure they need a character at this point level, although If you want to put one in with your black knights, that'd be the option I'd go with.

If you have one less vampire, it'll put your magic down, so I'd have two, and make one slightly more protected and put him in one of your core units.
 
Try number two, how is this one?

I'd look at the equipment for your vampires. Try to make one protected and one more of a caster. Those two you've currently got are a bit of a mix. Keep the caster in a bunker and your fighting one in a unit of troops. Make your caster your general.

Try to focus on either Ghouls or skeletons. Personally, I'd collapse the two ghoul units to get another largish skeleton unit with command and magic banner.

Otherwise, looks pretty tight!
