Just a wee army I threw together, trying to be fairly competative.

Lord Necromancer, MotD, Dragonbane Gem

2 x 18 Skellies with Standard and Champion

That leaves me with 410 points to spend, and I have a couple of combinations I like.

1. 3 Crypt Horrors, 10 Black Knights with standard, 1 skeleton

2. 3 Crypt Horrors with Champion, Varghulf, 2 Spirit Hosts,

3. 30 Grave Guard with Full Command

Which of these is best? Do you have any good combinations for 390 pts?

Also, which spells should I aim to be getting. Invocation and Vanhel's are obvious, but should I choose Vigour, Gaze or Raise?

Thanks in advance

I'm not so good at advice for this point level, but I figured you'd want a comment, so...

I would run with option 2, as I generally find Black Knights quite lacking, and option 2 gives you 4 units as opposed to option 3s 1 unit, helping you win deployment and movement.

For spells... I never go for Gaze. Vigour and Raise are both good, but I'd prefer Vigour.

I was tending towards option 2, and I suppose that if I manage to get both Vanhel's and Vigour off on the skeletons, they might actually be able to kill something in close combat.
