I've heard of mindrazor skellies and dual engine, is there anything else? And how do you use/build those lists?

It'd be cool to have the options to do a foot list but I'm not sure what's good in that regard? something with lots of necromancers?

If anyone could give a brief run-down, or link to somewhere with some information, on either of those lists (or any others that are worth a mention) I'd really appreciate it :)

Thanks.
 
All the foot lists I have built run double engine just because it is so good with infantry. Ghoul Kings and Masters are favored over the Hybrid also.
 
This is what Johnny and I run with :)

Dual Engines
Goal: To utilize two Mortis Engines for greatest effect. This list will often win through attrition or beating the enemy in close combat.
Concept: Have two Mortis Engines flanked by two hordes of combat oriented infantry. These two hordes must be able to get the full use the stacking regeneration from the engines and also have good offensive capabilities. This makes a horde of GG with Great Weapons and a horde of Ghouls ideal. The next point with a list like this is optimizing the use of the single Blasphemous Tome upgrade. This is done by having several Bunkers just behind the Engine, in these bunkers you should have several necromancers using LoV so that you can spend only 1 power die per IoN casting(within 12" of BT this will be cast on 3+). Spamming IoN's will keep your army alive while you close in on the enemy.
Strengths: Defensive. Attrition. Points Denial. Hardhitting.
Weaknesses: Everything is centered within the aura of the engines and the army is very predictable tactics wise.

Cheers for the responses guys, that's all the info I needed.

Looks like it's time to get hold of some grave guard with GWs.
