Blender Lord and BSB Vampire go in Black Knight bus. Necro's go in Skeleton Warrior bunker. Zombies Tarpit. Spirit Hosts either tarpit or get War Machine. Terrogheists fly around and Scream things to death.

Hopefully using Death I can kill enough models each turn to replenish the Magic Dice and weaken units. Maybe drop one or two Purple Suns to float around and kill units.

Looks nice enough. I would rather have the ogre blade on the lord than the extra magic levels on the necros. There's a lot more consistency in those S7 attacks than seeing what you get with the winds of magic. I know that just makes it a typical blender, but it is good. Particularly as he's the main hitter in the unit so you don't want to be caring about armour saves.

Following that I would ditch the magic standard on the BSB. Put a nightshroud on him and put him next to the lord, gives him just that bit more protection, particularly the ignore strength bonus. And also swap quick blood on the BSB for Aura of Dark Majesty. If you are going to take the screaming banner and fear incarnate, go all the way. Strikes first won't be so useful for him (if he has nightshroud you kinda have it anyway) and the LD mod also combos with death shriek, and some death magic (I think, can't quite remember off hand).

Also it would be good to put a Wight king in with the skeleton unit and necromancers. His high Ld helps a lot with the shooty death stuff. And now that I think of it, it could be worth putting the BSB on him to make your tarpits a tad more durable. I don't think the BK bus needs it that much, the blender should more than make up for it. However I can't see what you could easily drop for him. The only easy options are the spirit hosts, but you don't really want to do that :/.

Not to hyjack your thread, so I'll start a new one.
You're list is pretty solid, but I'd go with very slightly different gear on the heroes, and slightly different core...
