Hey folks!

I write you today to know what do you think I should buy next to build my army.
I already have the following:
1x Master Necromancer (can play him as a regular Necro too)
1x Wight King
10x Ghouls
20x Skelletons
10x Grave Guard with GW
5x Black Knights

The thing is I freaking love the whole army visually and I've tried different lists and can't decide. I've played with different magic focused lists with mortis engine (including a list that Sunny recommended me: Sunny List), with Blender and without him, with some screams but not too much, with BK Bus...

So I don't know what to do next (apart from buying one more box of ghouls at least :D)... buying more GG to make them at least 30? Buy more BK and making BK Bus? Buying Crypt Horrors? Really don't know :/
My focus is on competitive 2000 point lists so I want to hear your opinions about this.
I hope you guys can make this decision a bit more clear ^^

EDIT: I'm only interested in Citadel original miniatures
 
Hi there

Build your core up. Get more ghouls and skellies and a box of wolves wouldn't hurt either.

I wouldn't suggest having both GG and BK bus in the same list as they both take up a ton of points so pick which route you want to go with (this will also help you figure out if you want a foot vamp or a mounted one, too).
 
Thanks Seneschal for the insight :)

I forgot to say that apart from 10 more ghouls at least, I had in mind to buy a box of wolves and maybe 1 or 2 spirit hosts to have some chaff hehe
 
Do you typically play in a Games workshop shop?

If you do ou can of course only use Citadel figures there.

If you don't, get your self 1 or 2 of these.

Each box will net you 50 Skeletons and 50 Zombies.
 
Yes, sorry Minty. I usually play on GW shops so non Citadel miniatures are out of the discussion sadly :(
 
@Adam_Barrow
I love the idea behing ghosts and I love the models aswell! But the problem I see with, at least, Banshees is that you build your list around them or they are not worth. Maybe I'm mistaken, but that's what I think.
Anyway, I'm sure I'll buy spirit hosts, maybe a mortis engine and some cairn wraiths since I see them more reliables that banshees.
 
On the topic of ghost with the most. I got the large box of LotR army of the dead for less than 30 bucks I think. 3 to a base got me about 6ish SH.

Nice idea, I'll check out it on eBay since GW doesn't sell it anymore.

Another thing that concerns me a lot guys? What would be the best: buying more GG (I already have 10 models) or starting to buy Crypt Horrors? Which unit do you think are more competitive? Or will I need both units for 2k games?
 
Hey guys!

I've bought some more minis so my army now looks like this:

1x Master Necromancer (can play him as a regular Necro too)
1x Wight King on foot
1x Mounted Vampire (from Terrorgheist box)
1x Ghoul King (from Terrorgheist box)
20x Ghouls
20x Skelletons
10x Dire Wolves
10x Grave Guard with GW (can be used as regular skellies if needed)
5x Black Knights
1x Terrorgheist

My focus is to play 1500-2000 points tournaments at the moment.
The thing is I don't know now if buying one Black Knights box to get 9x knights + the vamp mounted or buying more Grave Guard and have the 5 knights as support unit. What do you guys think would be better?
 
I would up your core, more Skeletons, more Ghouls and then Zombies first. Overall more of everything you got will get your units into a more efficient fighting units

Yeah, I've been thinking that, of course, I need at least a box of zombies for bunkering/rising new units with spell. Other idea I have is bringing maybe 30 or 40 ghouls in horde :D
