Ghoulkin and more casters are needed.

1 Graveguard unit seems enough...

Ghoulkin isnt a necessity. With random generation of, and the cap on powerdice two casters is probably just the right amount. You dont get good redundancy out of multiple casters like you used to. After a while they become dead points becaus you dont have enough PD to use them.

Graveguard are nuts hard, although two units of 30 dont leave you with many points to space for other things. 24 will probably be enough. I assume they each have full command also.

Armour of destiny seems a little expensive for just a normal vampire, Crown of the damned gives you basically the same protection, but for 15 points less. Stupidity really isnt as bad as it once was either, especially condidering you can reroll Ld tests within 12" of your BSB.

You only have a fortitude of 5 for blood and glory. That mean a couple of lucky shots with some cannon and you will have lost your general and lost the game. I think you should replace that unit of 20 ghouls with some skeletons with full command. Another banner always helps.

That varghulf looks awfully lonely, getteing another one would probably help a lot.

I'm surprised you dont have a corpse cart or a necromancer with the book in your army. Giving ASF to your units turns them from mediocare to reasonable and ASF, with reroll to hit, or an 8" extra move is absolutely golden.

I get ready for tournaments so we don't play the modes out of the book, just pitch battle with prev. tournament scenarios. I considered dropping them to 24 doing 6x4 instead of 6x5. Just a banner in the unit. Champion really isnt a must nor is a musician for undead. I dont like having to save power dice for the corpse cart though the armour is costly, thought about the crown with BP. I had 2 vargs in there before using them as suppotive chargers to the ghouls or war machine hunters. Still tweaking.
