I'll put General and BSB in HW/Sh Grave Guard, and the other two in the other grave guard.

I'm really liking the idea of taking Grave Guard, two units if possible, as my primary infantry. Far more durable then either skeletons or ghouls, and quite deadlier as well.

I wish I could fit Varghulf in there, but I feel the need to give my general (and his unit) regeneration so they can be even more durable, particularly if they crumble.



---Edit---

Some added thoughts.

The Blood-drinker... combined with Infinite Hatred and Red Fury could keep the things at full strength. Combined with better armor and a regeneration banner... this unit and general will be hard to kill.

The other unit will probably get the bulk of my healing spells.

Ghouls, on their own, seem to die easily if 20 strong. With 25, they can take a charge and hold out, allowing me to heal them.

The zombies, I'm embarrassed to admit are for core slots. They could become tarpits, depending on the army I'm facing.

 

[Konrad_The_Beast]

Thats a Very good army list and i think it will work on most armies. Good Job!

 

[Yann-Drak]

The only problem i see is that it is very slow and opponent will flank you without much effort. Otherwise good list

 

[Disciple of Nagash]

I agree, even with the wolves a you might find armies like Welfs a problem as you have no fast hard hitters, watch those flanks!

 

[Swissdictator]

Yeah, while I like healing Ghouls... I miss having them skirmish. :-S Win some lose some.

Question is how do I protect flanks... put Zombies on them and invocation them to insanity?

4 Bats




Not a major change, added the bats and drop some ghouls and a unit of wolves.

Bats are very good to hunt war machines ... and the wolves to protect the flanks well ... I think that is much better ...
