Hello,

A few things, I do not know what a power familiar is on the necromancers, or a few things on your vampire (cloak),
the book was written for an older edition of the game, so those might be refreneces to things that are not there now.

Also, You can not dup magic items, so only 1 banner of the barrows.

As to the list, even with 30 man units, skeletons just do not have the stat line to keep in the fight without support. This could be through the Vampire or a corpse cart etc. It is nice to skeleton heavy lists even if they are not as competative in some regards.

You are using the 6th ed book, it's no longer legal in 8th. If fact, that book hasn't be in for years now.
If your group just uses the older rules/books, then drop all the duplicate magic items, as you've never been able to take more than one of each. (Except the Dispel Scroll)
Are you using 6th or 7th ed rules?
In 6th, your list is pretty good. Hold the center with the skellies, and flank with the knights. Your necros are just there to give more power dice to the vamp lord.
For 7th, drop the necros, as you no longer pool dice. Get another vamp caster type.
For 8th, get the current book. You'll end up starting from scratch though.

with 8th edition, you're wanting to get more Grave Guard with Great weapons and putting a killy vamp to assist killing with the masses. You're going to want to get one large skellie unit with a large ghoul unit as well to help protect the flanks of your death star.
