2000 pts for Weekend Tourney

[johnnyw]

Hi,

I've got a weekend tournement coming up in a weeks time and I'd appreciate some help with my list.

There are bonus points for full (20) units and also full command. I also don't want to go above 10pd. I like Mannfred because of the fluff, but I also like combat so i've tried to include a bit of both.

How would he following list do? I would be willing to drop the Skelly sizes if the points could be better spent, and I intend to run Mannfred with a Skelly Unit. Do you think he needs the mount?

Count Mannfred @ 570 pts
Nightmare
Black Periapt
Book of Arkhan
Dispel Scroll

Vampire @ 190 pts
Sword of Battle
The Flayed Hauberk
Infinite Hatred
Walking Death

Wight King @ 125 pts
Battle Standard Bearer
Sword of Kings

20 Skeleton Warriors @ 180 pts
Hand Weapon and Shield
Full Command

20 Skeleton Warriors @ 205 pts
Hand Weapon and Shield

20 Zombie Horde

19 Grave Guard @ 303 pts
Hand Weapon and Shield
Full Command

Varghulf

5 Dire Wolves @ 50 pts

Thanks for the help.

Count Mannfred @ 570 pts
Nightmare
Black Periapt
Book of Arkhan
Dispel Scroll

He only gets 2 arcane items, not 3.

Wight King @ 125 pts
Battle Standard Bearer
Sword of Kings

Get him on a horse!!

5 Dire Wolves @ 50 pts
Doom Wolf

If you want the doom wolf, get to size 7.

You'd be better off with fewer skeletons and getting the bonus points for pushing the Grave Guard to 20. But I am not sure the Grave Guard are a good idea. You have a very slow moving army that does not hit hard either. A more powerful build would likely drop the Grave Guard entirely.

Thanks for the tips. In my excitement I missed the "2 items" and only read 100 points

I'll put the WK on a mount as you suggest, but it's a bit late to drop the GG.

I was going to use Mannfred to raise the wolves to above 5 if necessary, e.g. my opponent fields a dragon

Next time take the skull staff on Mannfred. You'll be much happier.
