So a Corpse Cart can be taken as a mount for either necromancer, or it can be taken as a special slot unit.

The question is which is better and why? My current list has a lv2 riding it with the Book of Arkhan.

I guess it all depends whether your character have left over points to spare in their % allowance.

In my opinion it is often easier to fit stuff in the specials allocation than character allocation, therefore choices like that often find them selves taken as special choices. This aside, I think that mounting a character on it is not the best idea for the following reasons; a) it limits the characters maneuverability a lot, b) it limits the utility of the cart since with a necro you cant charge it anywhere if you get a bit desperate and thirdly c) the necro is safer in a unit than on a chariot.

The only reason to mount a Necromancer on a corpse cart is if he would otherwise be sitting by himself.

Usually you want to include a bunker unit for your necromancers, you're much better off with the two seperated since a cannon shot will make both of them sad.
