2 units of 3 chariots are better than 1 unit of 6. S5 impacts hits really aren't that great, and the unit will get ground out against literally anything if it doesn't get a charge.
By comparison two units of 3 are great little support units. They clear chaff, can smash into the side of a unit to generate combat res or smash elves, and with the flaming banner can knock regen off for the vampires.
Speaking of which, drop the hero vampire and find points to make him a vampire lord. Hero vampires aren't a very efficient use of points. You can also save 100 points by putting 4 levels onto the Vampire Lord instead. Yeah it sucks when he cascades, but if you're throwing 2-3 dice at everything it doesn't happen very often. Two lord-level vampires will smash anything they come across.
Not a huge fan of the lance on him, though. Too many points for just one round of combat effectiveness. Give him an Ogre Blade if you can afford it, or potion of strength if you can't (so that he's S8 on the second round of combat).
