here is my "list" a quote from the
GW website, seeing as i dont have the current army book yet
"For around 500 points, you can get a Vampire, a Necromancer and a good-sized unit of Skeletons, plus a few useful upgrades to make them more survivable. The Lord of the Dead ability is a personal favourite - it means you can start the battle with 20 Skeletons and just keep growing the regiment -perfect for getting in the way of irritating enemy units and soaking up damage. You could even squeeze in the Helm of Commandment, making those Skeletons very fearsome in combat. On top of all that, you also have two extra wizards to cast spells or hold on to Arcane Fulcrums - the whole set-up smells like victory (or maybe dead bodies. Sometimes it's hard to tell the difference...)."
