The fast part of the army will do some real damage, though you're brave taking the Dragon Lord without the Charmed Shield. Auto-nullifying a lucky cannon shot can save your battle considering the base size of thr ZDragon.

I'd be tempted to make the footslogger part of the army more points denial style. Big units of Zombos instead of Skellies. Easier to tarpit with (TBats love screaming into combats they're not in), certainly, and easier to Invo back up.

But to get the charmed shield I would need to drop the night shroud and that's not a compromise I'm willing to take. Using careful positioning and vanhels I feel I should be fine from cannons till I get to combat

Looks good to me. I might reconsider the MoD on the necro and would add a banner (e.g. flaming) to a skelli unit.

How did your list do? And how do you run your skeletons? Horde or bus?

I also say very brave; I tend to go blender on the dragon backed up with a Level 4 necro in the rear with the gear at 3000, though I don't remember if that fits at 2400? I've never tried Crypt Horrors; I hate the Terrorgheist model but playing him is addictive, 2's just crazy! I struggle with Dire Wolves vs shooting so I tend to prefer Fell Bats though I'm probably doing it wrong; nice work on the catapult!

Skellies run 5 wide and charge any unit that's dangerous so the TGs can stand at the sides and scream while the unit gets rehealed.
Played 3 games this list. Tables 2 and drew the other. Catapult been totally useless. Not killed a model yet but the ZD and TGs have been terrific as long as I screen them well enough.
