Generally I agree, although when you come up against a 90 shot list (with a unit with flaming banner, 2 magic bows and the HODA) you'll find out we really can be worn down. The best player in my club, and highest ranked WE player in UK uses that list and I played it last week.
His first turn he killed my Mortis Engine and took half the wounds off my Terrorgheist. I rammed everything forward, healed the TG as much as I could. 2nd turn he took 20 wounds off of my 8 Crypt Horror unit (leaving 2 models with 4 wounds) and took the TG down to 2 wounds.
I managed to get my Horrors locked into combat and the TG held on for a couple more turns. Finally came out with a 1400-750pt win. Had the Crypt Horrors been wiped out he'd probably have massacred me. If he'd ignored my Mortis Engine turn 1 and wiped the Horrors I'd definitely have lost. If I had got turn 1 I would almost certainly have gotten a bigger win.
Pretty much any other build and it should be a very favourable match up for the VC.
