Im thinking about participating at Gen Con's Clash of Kings this year and this is the list im thinking about bringing:

Zombie Legion w/ Crystal Pendant of Retribution-240
Soul Reaver Cavalry Troop w/ Brew of Sharpness-240
Soul Reaver Cavalry Troop w/ Helm of Confidence-215
Liche King w/ Heal, Surge, and Wings of Honeymaze-205

Wights Horde w/ Chant of Hate-260
Vampire Lord on Undead Pegasus w/ Ensorcelled Armor-295

Werewolves Horde w/ Brew of Strength-275
Mhorggoth the Faceless-270

Total: 2000

The Zombies go in the middle the Werewolves and the Helm Reavers go on one flank and the Brew Reavers and the Wights go on another flank with the Vamp Lord. The Liche King and Mhorgoth go wherever i need them as they are very mobile.

Thats a lot of upgrades. Often I suggest only taking upgrades where it both makes sense and actually noticeably makes the unit perform better.

Id say your army is too upgrade heavy and every loss you face will be a harsh loss.

Hmmm, your right. Heres the second version.

Zombie Legion w/ Touch of Darkness-215
Soul Reaver Cavalry Regiment w/ Helm of Confidence-320
Liche King w/ Heal, Surge, and Bane Chant-185
Liche King w/ Heal, Surge, and Bane Chant-185

Revenents Regiment w/ Two Handers-120
Revenents Regiment w/ Two Handers-120
Vampire Lord on Undead Pegasus w/ Heal and Ensorcelled Armor-305

Werewolves Horde w/ Brew of Strength-275
Mhorgoth the Faceless-270

Total:1995

I stuck the Soul Reavers into a Regiment and dropped the Wights so i could pick up a second Liche King and 2 Regiments of Revenants.

Have you thought about taking the Revenant on Flying Wyrm, I believe it is better than the Vamp on Pegasus and cheaper.

My other thought would be to but the caterpillar potion on the Soul Reavers. They can then sit in a wood and be -1 to hit, and flyers charging them will be disrupted, but they can charge out with no penalty.

IMHO that's still a very small army you are liable to be outflanked, also you have no chaff to throw away/block LoS/sit on objectives.

I'm not a fan of Mhorgoth myself - I'd rather use those points for something else.

Of course at the end of the day KoW is less about list building and more about how you use the army on the table top.

Hmmm, you may have a point there, also, i think im just gonna drop the Werewolves and go back to Wights as they hit like a truck.

Did some mucking about here, dropped the Wolves for Wights with Chant of Hate, so they will reroll all failed to wounds unless they are fighting a 6+. Swapped the Vamp for a Revenant King as i was using him as a fast moving Inspire bubble w/ SUrge anyway, and he hits that little bit harder. And then i saved enough points for 2 troopso f Skeleton warriors to use for chaff/ Objective holding/loot grabbing.

Havent used him yet, but dat Fireball. Really he just has so many freakin options to do on his turn, plus crazy maneuverability i think hes a solid investment.

Its why i love this game, besides if i get my s**t rocked i know its probably my fault and not that my faction of choice is terrible, and i can live with that.
