Like the title says this is my fourth gsme and I lost first 3 against a buddies skaven hard.

Master Necromancer
-lvl 4, master of undead, dispell scroll, talisman of preservation , nightmare

Heroes:
Tomb prince
-armour of fortune, shield

Tomb prince
-armour of silvererd steel

Core:
44 skeletons

44 skeletons
-fc spears banner of eternal flame

20 skeleton archers

Special:
13 black knights
-fc lances barding banner of swiftness

3 vargheist

Plan is for the tomb princes to help make my skeletons hit something. Vargholfs and terrorgheist to flank and the BK bus to be main kill unit.

I feel like you are missing chaff. Since you have a master of the dead necro you can drop those skelly units to 30-35 models each and fit in a few units of dire wolves.
Also why shadow on the vampire?

I tried out lore of death on him but I purple sunned myself during both games. No shit two separate games I got it off for big one with no irresistible force then it rolls a misfire on artillery dice. So I kind of swore that off. Is shadows not good? Mindrazer could be beast. I come from dwarves background so this is all new to me. What good would the dire wolves do? How does everything else look? Is this killy, enough?

VC aren't really about being "Killy enough" so much as having your "Killy" in the right place.

As a quick rundown:

VL - Blendery goodness on a horsey with some debugging shadow magic to boot, fairly decent even if he isn't the ultimate killing machine build.

MN - A good build, though I'm confused as to why he is on a nightmare? He needs to be staying back and casting, not moving valiantly forth. I'd drop the nightmare and whack him in a unit of skeleton archers.

Skeleton warriors - Yes.

Skeleton Archers - a little on the small side for my liking, I would take 25 min but that's preference and 20 is more than adequate.

BK - I assume this is where the VL is going. Good number of knights and equipped well.

Varghiests - tricky to use but invaluable in a list with little chaff, especially if you're taking on enemies with war machines etcetera.

Terrorghiest - it screams, it flies, it murders lots of guys, it's the T-Bat. Rock on.


Overall I would say you're lacking any redirectors. You have a low number if units, probably not allowing you the advantage of deployment shenanigans. Wolves are great if you drop the units of skellies down to 35 you could get a unit or two of wolves in there, keep them at 5 dogs strong with no champ.

The vl should be pretty safe from purple sun with his high ld. But also sniping with spirit leach on a ld10 is pretty good and so are the other sniping spells. It also is a good lore for drawing out dispel dice because no one wants their heroes to die. Lore of beasts is great for a death star unit because it makes them even more killy. I would go lore of beasts over shadow because you get to buff your units instead of debuffing your enemies, that just my style I guess. Also if you get savage beast of horrors there is much fun to be had! The curse of anraheir is also extremely powerful for keeping your deathstar alive. Also Wyssan's wildform.. s5 t5 blackknights? Plus the lord himself gets a buff. SO many good spells to buff your deathstar in lore of beasts. And since you are cavalry all of the spells are -1 to cast
