Ive never played with VC but Ive got a lot of experience beating them down. Any advice on how to improve the army before I finish buying it would be appreciated.

Vampire wt Dark Acolyte, Sword of Battle, Nightshroud, Black Periapt--180
Necromancer wt Invocation, Danse, Staff of Damnation--110
Necromancer wt Invocation, Danse, Book of Arkhan, Corpse Cart--180
30 Zombies--120
25 Skeletons wt FC, Icon of Vengance--245
25 Skeletons wt FC, Banner of Hellfire--230
20 Ghouls wt Ghast--168
5 Dire Wolves--40
Corpse Cart--75
15 Graveguard wt great weapons, FC, Royal Standard of Strigos--260
3 Fellbats--60
Varghulf--175
The general idea is to use magic and the helm to make my crummy undead units into nasty killing machines. The lord isnt very well protected that's what the Icon is for, I want to be able to draw or even pull out a win even if my general dies just like i do with my other armies. The ghouls are for flanking with the vampire and some magic, hence the ghoulkin on the lord. I was thinking they could be replaced by some black knights but financially the ghouls make sense since they come in the battalion box. The fellbats, dire wolves and varghulf are for killing warmachines, and the zombies are for stalling on a flank since most units without full CR will have trouble winning successive rounds of combat against a big block of zombies, and even if they do they cannot kill 30 of them very quickly.
