Hiya,

I think it looks like a solid list. Your lord lives a little bit dangerously if he is to be running around on his own, which his item set-up suggests. Perhaps you should give him the wristbands of black gold to give him that healthy 3+ ward saved against ranged attacks?

I would consider giving your necromancer a powerstone or two. This will help him force that decisive danse through when you need it the most.

A warbanner could be fit in to your list, possibly on the larger unit of skeletons.

The fell bats are right between the two magical numbers of 3 and 5. I'd suggest either dropping one from the unit (they'll still have the presence to make a nuisance of themselves) or adding one (enabling them to catch and destroy fleeing units with their US5).

I'd agree with Mastersparks, comments. I'd also add that I'd look to re-work your vampire hero a bit too. He does not gain as much from avatar if you're going to give him the flayed hauberk, and I'm not sure about the use of the cursed book on a such a hero model.

Your ghouls unit might be better off being replaced by another unit of zombies, as you have no way to make that ghoul unit larger, or 5 strong unit of fell bats?

Thanks very much guys, good feedback and tweaks that wont make the army over the top.

Cheers for the help,
