Made up this list for my wife who likes the new VC let me know what you think

List 1
Master Necromancer -level4 -Black Periapt -Ironcurse Icon 260
Necromancer -Dispel Scroll 90
Necromancer -The Cursed Book 100
Vampire -Quickblood -Sword of Striking -Enchanted Shield -Dawnstone -HA 184
20 Zombies 60
37 Ghouls 370
6 Crypt Horrors 210
Terrorgheist 225
1499

They ghouls and horrors in the front, vamp in with the ghouls, necromancers in the zombie bunker behind them. Terrorgheist can help protect things that may get around the wall of ghouls and horrors. She could always raise dead and create a new unit of zombies to protect a flank, with multiple IoN it would get big quite fast.

After posting this list I did some thinking and I think if I dropped a necromancer I could boost the vamp and remaining necro to level2s. The necros and vamp will mostly be spamming IoN, which probably would be 2 diced and doing that with 3 characters is going to leave the level 4 with little dice so I came up with these 2 lists that are similar:

List 2
Master Necromancer -level4 -Black Periapt 255
Necromancer -level2 -Dispel Scroll 125
Vampire -Quickblood -Sword of Striking -Enchanted Shield -T. of Endurance -HA -Level2 224
20 Zombies 60
40 Ghouls 400
6 Crypt Horrors 210
Terrorgheist 225
1499


List 3
Master Necromancer -level4 -Black Periapt -Ironcurse Icon 260
Necromancer -Level2 -The Cursed Book 135
Vampire -Quickblood -Shield -Level2 -Dispel Scroll -Dawnstone-HA 226
20 Zombies 60
37 Ghouls 370
6 Crypt Horrors 210
Terrorgheist 225
1496

I like The Cursed Book a lot, giving up 1-3 dice is a small investment as long as you don't roll a 1 for the result, and it puts your opponent in a position of having to decide to spend 3 dice to dispel some of the 10+ results you can get. Though in the 3rd list the vampire is not as durable

All lists have far too few core.
Try and add another 40 or so zombies.

Thanks for the advice. Would more ghouls work? Here is the plan for deployment below

...........CHCHCH..Vggggggggg
...........CHCHCH..gggggggggg....TG
...............................gggggggggg
...................nzzzn..gggggggggg
...................zzzzz...g
...................zzzzz
...................zzzzz
...................zz

So I think the abbreviations are self explanatory. As for more core that is going to come through raise dead which can be used to create a unit to cover the left flank then 2-3 casters casting IoN, so turn 1 or 2 the level 4 raises on average 10 zombies, and every turn lets say 2 IoN go through lets average it out to 2x(number of IoN) 2D6+3(average of level 4 and level 2, the extra D6 for being zombie targets) by turn 3 that zombie bunker that started 20 strong is now 80 strong and that summoned zombie unit on the flank is in range of the necromancers so lets say it's 30-40 strong, plus IoN is constantly healing the ghouls and crypt horrors and if the crypt horrors or ghouls do manage to take such a beating they crumble then that zombie bunker is going to be hell to take down. Meanwhile the TG is still doing it's thing.
