Hi,

I do have a couple of suggestions for your list. First, I would try to get the points for the Forbidden Lore on your Vampire Lord to make sure that he'll have worthwhile spells to throw. Secondly, keep in mind that characters on flying mounts may not ever join a friendly unit - therefore I'd remove the Hellsteed from your BSB and give him a regular Nightmare in its place. I would also consider swapping the Strigos standard on your Grave Guard for something else, mostly to make sure that your enemy can't exploit the downsides of Hatred which could lead to some pretty ugly situations. The Warbanner would suit them just as well, in my opinion.

Personally, I would drop the Zombie unit along with two Wraiths in order to fit a Varghulf into your list. One of those could really benefit your flanking manoeuvers and increase your coverage of the Vampire special rule - and I reckon that the Wraiths will pack a nasty enough punch all the same.

This new list looks pretty good as well, although I would reconsider the Staff of Damnation - it should ideally be used together with hard-hitting infantry that can be kept close to the bearer, such as Wraiths and Grave Guard. I would hand him the Book of Arkhan in place of the Staff. I could also see a Wight King BSB work pretty well in place of that Necromancer, increasing the power of your Black Knights.

And a tip for future postings of army lists - try to not simply update the opening post when making changes to your list. It is better if you just post a new one further down in the same thread. That way, other readers can more easily follow the discussion and changes that were made.
