I just got word that there's gonna be a tournament at a large convent in april, and I decided that I was gonna be in it!
So, aside from having to paint 100+ recently bough skeletons, and lots of more things, I have to prepare my army list too!
I based it on my standard list, refined a little, and reasoned what models I could get my hands on before the tournament (So no Blood Knights D: )
And here is the list:


Lord - 410
Sir Novkaer
Vampire Lord - Go with Black Knights
Heavy Armour, Barded Nightmare
Enchanted Shield, Talisman of Preservation, Ogre Blade
Quickblood, Aura of Dark Majesty, Beguile
= 410

Heroes - 280
Necromancer - Go with Skeletons
Lvl 2, Vamp Lore
Dispel Scroll
Master of the Dead
= 145

Necromancer - Go with Zombies
Lvl 2, Vamp Lore
The Cursed Book
= 135

Core - 505
25 Skeletons - 125
25 Skeletons - 125
25 Skeletons - 125

5 Dire Wolves - 40
5 Dire Wolves - 40
5 Dire Wolves - 40

20 Zombies - 60

Special -751
11 Black Knights
Barding and Lances
Full Command
Screaming Banner
= 341

20 Grave Guards
Great Weapons
Full Command
Banner of the Barrows
= 320

Spirit Host - 45
Spirit Host - 45

Alright, plan: Dire Wolves run around, blocking charges, might chase a warmachine. Spirit Host aid in this, but with a stalling element to it (especially if facing a monster).
Lord and Black Knights flank and are mega-awesome. Probably going to go after something big.
Skellies and Zombies sit together (will probably keep the Grave Guards close to these too). One skellie unit protects Master of the Dead Necro, Zombies protect other Necro (and these units are in turn protected by the Grave Guards and other skellies). Eventually, the Zombie unit will be big enough to maintain itself, and the Necro might leave it if needed.
That's pretty much it.
Anything I forgot to think of? Something I need to address? All C&C taken with open arms - This is my first Warhammer tourny, so might need all advice I can get.
