Here is my first draft of my VC list
Reason for no Mortis Engine is I feel I do not have enough casters to use it effectively and my group enjoys Hellheart

That's a very solid list.
Only change I'd make is lose the banshees for 3 wraiths. Saves you 10 points and is way better. (put 1 wraith in each block). I run Banshees for the theme, but have yet to have them come close to being worth their cost.

On the vamp lord, I've found Sword of Anti-heroes better than ogre blade. More attacks and strength is usually better than just strength.
I don't know if you need 2 level 2's and the level 4. You might want to look into losing the 2nd necro (or downgrading both to level 1) and picking up a bit more chaff, such as dire wolves, fellbats or bat swarms.

Have you ever thought of dropping the coach and varghulf, for another terrorgheist? other than that looks like a good list

I am going drop the levels off the vamp and a level 2 for a lvl master necro so the vamp is not such a linch-pin for he army.

And I think the coach has great potential if it gets going right and a varguhlf can threaten warmachines like no other

Solid idea.

I also dropped one banshee for a Lvl 1 necro with the cursed book

I feel that you will get more utility out of the necro but why the cursed book? What do you feel that it provides?

I feel that since half the spells are high cast RIP and it only eats D3 power dice you can normally draw out a good number of their dispel or if they let it through power dice when they try and get rid of the spell.

Also every spell the book has helps our army hand over fist

Miasma to drop movement or ws depending

Enfeebling Foe to make fighting ghouls and crypt horrors just stupidly hard

The withering helps with all our S3

Soulblight is the only one I do not really like as it is a hybrid of the previous two

Doom and Darkness combined with a vampire with Dark Majesty is just stupidly mean

And Curse of the midnight wind helps make our big T5+ things immune to S3 and stops parry saves

I like it. I have been kicking it around but I really have not found a whole lot of time to math hammer it and see what the results are for my rolls. Thank you for answering the question. May Brody Dalle be on your doorstep this eve!

I met her once and gave her a smoke... I thought I died.

Anyway how are you feeling about rod of flaming death? I really like it as I wight king can lug it around and still be a BSB if we need it

Seems like a solid choice to me, but without the book in front of me I would need to read it an re asses. Yeah, I have goldfish like memory when dealing with a new book for the first time, and if it is in the BRB I am generally screwed.

Looking back on it. I would look for a place to put that item. str 4 hits to everything thing in the unit is nice.
