I have been playing around with a few ideas for a VC army and here is my latest idea, lord with grave guard 7x3, thinking vamp with skeletons and necro with the other unit.

To my understanding, the Wraiths are too few in number: Three of them and a Banshee aren't going to get enough combat resolution to crack an average unit in combat - they're on average probably taking one to two wounds a turn from standard resolution (nine attacks -> four-point-five hits -> Three-to-Four wounds (Depending on T3 or T4) v Static Res Four-to-Five (depending on who charged)).

Both Skeleton and Graveguard units look too small to me. I may not be a VC player nor know too much about them, but I feel dropping the Varghulf for more points in each would probably work better.

You dont have enough points in your core. You have to have at least 563 for it to be legal. You only have 544pts.

Cheers guys, i should have really double checked the army was actually legal, i made some changes, im thinking with the grave guard deploy them 7x3 with vampire lord.

Well we all have to get use to the rules, lords knows Ive been diging hard here on the forums and hunting the interwebs for more details or questions I might have.

yeah so true, i found it alot easier making WoC lists, take two units of chaos warriors and thats your min core pretty much meet!

Warseer has a pretty complete list of rumours, if that dosnt have the answer then i know someone with access with to the book so its just a quick PM away.

Anyways, now the list is actually legal anyone have any thoughts on it?

So no thoughts at all on this list?
