Hi all, Still getting used to the new rules and need some critisism on my list that I made. I don't have a lot of extra units but I'll list them afterwards if you see something that seems a better fit. I'm a student so my army is limited.

Mostly using the best of what I have; the general strategy is to mostly blob everything together and get things caught up in the zombies/skellies and then hit them with the knights/GG. Dogs are there to pick on casters and march block mostly as I don't really see a use for them otherwise.

Lords:
Master Necro
+1 Magic Level (Death) 200pts

Heroes:
Vampire (General) (Vamps)
Red Fury, H.armour/Shield, Ogre Blade, Dragon Helm 211pts

Wight King
BSB, Shield, Enchanted Shield, Dragon Helm 129pts

Core
Skellies x 40
Full Command, Banner of Eternal Flame 240pts

Zombies x 40 120pts

Dogs x 6 48pts

Dogs x 6 48pts

Dogs x 6 48pts

Special:
GG x 30
Great Weapons, Full Command, Banner of the Barrows 440pts

Black Knights x 10
Full Command, Barding, Lances 290pts

Rare:
Terrorgheist x 1 225pts

Total: 1999


Gobos/Orcs: This friend likes to make the 80 dark goblin bricks with a few archers, spider riders and black orcs. Nothing too scary, I usually bring my spirit hosts against his fanatics. We usually go 50/50 when we play.

H.Elves: Always seem to kick my butt with their rediculous Ini and Shooting.

Lizards: Need some serious help against these guys. He plays the terradon? thing with the holy symbol and blasts away my guys, I usually have to fling my vamp/gheist at it to kill the skink. GG are MVP's against the lizards. He plays a lot of saurus, I can win the battle of attrition usually if my necro takes lore of vamps but most of the time it's a hard fight.

Empire: Not too bad against them. Nothing too special yet because my friend just started playing them.

Well that about sums it up any help would be appreciated.

My extra units not in the current list:
I don't own any ghouls :thumbsdown:
3 x Spirit host
1 x Banshee
3 x Wraith
2 x Dogs
10 x Skellies /w Hand Weapon
1 x Varghulf

Not much to choose from but makes for a few subs.
 
Hey,

I haven't watched your list in detail, but what comes to my mind is: a) since you can't take a shield and the enchanted shield on your wight king you probably wanted to say heavy armour and enchanted shield; b) you can't use the dragon helm twice per army.

Sorry for not posting any other advice so far.
 
Oh okay. I thought you had to buy the shield for the wight king and then upgrade it to the enchanted shield. That's why I wrote both down.

As for the dragon helm are you not able to take two of the same item because they're "common" magic items? Not too sure how that works. I'm still learning all the rules.

Thanks though.
 
At the moment your list is illegal:

Your Master Necromancer has to be your general, and so must take lore of the Vampires.

Can I ask why this is? He does have a higher leadership and is a lord but I thought as long as one of your casters had lore of vamps that he becomes the general. Am I wrong?
