Hey guys I haven't played yet but I bought a muck ton of models used. Here's an army I can make out of them what do you think?

Vampire Lord: 521pts
Spoiler:
lvl 4 lore of vampires
heavy armour
enchanted shield
obsidian blade
talisman of preservation
quickblood
redfury
summon creatures of the night


Vampire: 196pts
Spoiler:
lvl 1 lore of vampires
nightshroud
heavy armour
shield
biting blade
aura of dark majesty
summon creatures of the night


Necromancer: 90pts
lvl 1 lore of vampires
book of arkhan

Necromancer: 90pts
lvl 1 lore of vampires
dispel scroll

2x 5 dire wolves: 80pts (6 wide once some have been raised)
36 crypt ghouls: 360pts (6 wide)
2x 25 zombies with banners 160pts (5 wide)

35x Grave guard: 500pts
great weapons
banner of the barrows
full command

Terrorgheist: 225pts
varghulf: 175pts

total 2397pts


So I only have 1 terrorgheist but I have at least 1 of almost everything else. Here are the models that I don't have available:
black/blood knights/ hexwraiths
crypt horrors (next purchase)
vargheists
any more varghulfs or terrorgheists
bat swarms
black coach
corpse cart
mortis engine

So what do you think? Could it survive a dwarf gunline to get into combat? Is the list any good or just rubbish? Additional C&C?

Looks decent. I've never been a fan of ghouls though, I usually run tar pits of zombies and skeletons. Though on the lord I suggest ogre blade to give him 7 strength and a dragon helm since it gives you a plus one to armor but also a 2 up ward against flame attacks. Also if you can I'd just bump the GG up to 39 if you are just including the VL so you can get an extra rank. I also run a hero cairn wraith for the terror on charges with my GG and as an alternate champion for challenges against champions with no magical weapons

The plan was to have both vampires in the grave guard unit. The hero vamp for accepting challenges and the lord for blending troops. I was thinking of switching out the hero vamp for something else like a wight king, krell or mannfred or konrad

I'd do the wight king for t5 and low point cost

maybe something like:

wight king:
nightshroud,
biting blade,
shield

???
That makes him pretty difficult to hurt. He's not as offensive as he would be if he had a great weapon but he'll still hit on 3s (with banner of the barrows) and has killing blow and -2 to armor.
