Err first of all you shouldn't be posting individual point costs of everything, only the total of a unit, so that Games Workshop doesn't have anything to say about all the legal stuff... anyway

Necromancer is not allowed to have Enchanted Shield and I fail to see why you'd want to give it one, a 5+ armor save for a T3 model is the same as being naked.

Also where will your characters be? Characters cannot form units with other characters and no character may join zombies.

 

[radu]

thanks for the fast reply.well ill drop the enchanted shield in place for another doom wolf for the unit without one. My intention was to place the vampires within the units of zombies,i wasent aware they couldent join them but i see now reading the newly dead rule again...in that case i might have to get some skeletons,iam not sure though i had my heart set on zombies.i guess tomb blade could be fun.

(p.s i changed the points listings thanks for the advice)

kan you wear armor and stil cast spels??

 

[TMS]

Vampires can wear armour and cast spells yes, it says so in the army book. Necromancers can wear the nightshroud and still cast spells, the item entry says that they can.

 

[Mikael.K]

The second list looks much better. I´d drop the doom wolves and give the skeleton unit a magical banner (warbanner or the banner of the dead legion).

What is your plan with the necromancer by the way?

 

[radu]

Though banner of the dead legion sounds nice,even with two less doomwolves i wouldent have enough points,unless i say dropped the musicians as well,but iam not sure if it would be worth it. As for the necromancer, he will be sitting atop his cart of rotting corpses and casting invocation of nehek to help recover my units. Because i dont really have battle experience iam not to sure how i can fully utilize and deploy my units. Iam quite happy with my new army list but iam not to sure about wether it has enough magic.
