I'd make the lord a level 1, and get the book of arkhan instead (you really want to re-roll misses with black knights).
I'd swap the ogre blade for a lance. (saves ~40 points)
Drop the level 1 necro, and give the dispel to the level 4. (saves 65)
Drop Fear Incarnate from the throne, and I usually swap the 4+ ward for the 4+ vs 1st wound (saves 50 points).

That frees up 155 points. I'd pick up either 5 Hex Wraiths or 3 Vargheists. Both work well with a fast moving vampire general.

The throne works great, the key to it is keeping in the corner of fights to minimize the number of models who can strike it.
Don't over protect the vampire riding it too much, it's just as good without the rider. You may want to shift fear incarnate to the Vampire Lord (which you can do if you go lance instead of ogre blade).

Since the Vampire Lord on the nightmare does not have ethereal movement, the whole Black Knight block would lose it too. Does this hurt their effectiveness and ability to keep close to the Hex Wraiths?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/441066/4254067.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/441066/4254067.page GMT The lack of ethereal movement does not really matter except he has to take dangerous terrain tests for forests and the like. But his unit keeps their movement. I find I move my wraiths to keep up with my knights not the other way round.

I made what I think is a better version of this list title VC 2500 Tournament I think.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/441066/4254119.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/441066/4254119.page GMT
I think I'll use the Necro as the General and that way I can throw the VC Lord into combat and not really care if he goes pop?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/441066/4309393.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/441066/4309393.page GMT LD.
