- FC, Spears

32 Zombies (Wraith goes here)
- Standard

29 GG (Vamp goes here)
- FC, GW, Screaming Banner

Varghulf

1499 Points

Deployment (scenario pending) looks something like V-S-Z-GG with the fear bombing GG breaking through one flank and chomp chomp chomp down the line. My biggest concerns are not enough drops, no chaff, and too many points in characters?. Maybe I've been playing 2.5k too long. I think in 1.5k the Varghulf will be able to earn his points back better than a unit of 3 wraiths but at 1.5k I doubt my opponents will have much in the way of answers for ethereal.

Suggestions welcome

I'd argue to drop the skeletons down to 30, drop the zombies altogether as you can summon them, and add a second unit of skeletons. Just my two copper on the matter.

I like it alot, I would say put the necro in the zombies and the wraith in the skeletons though, just because that many skeletons want to grind through stuff in combat not bunker a mage. My $0.02.

The Vampire powers + Grave Guard with the banner should be a nasty unit... and most of your opponents should know that. Expect a lot of ranged fire at it. You could swap Glittering Scales for Gambler's Armor (Heavy with 6++) and then have enough points to give the Vamp the Ironcurse icon instead of your Necromancer. Might be something to think about.

I also second swapping the Wraith and Necromancer's positions in units. Unfortunately with the 25% core requirement there not much you can really change around with your main blocks, since you're right at that limit.
