Title: Necrarch VC army
Description: 1K Army List
Khrangar - October 19, 2003 03:07 AM (GMT)
Necrarch Vampire Thrall - 125
Nehekhara's Noble Blood
Necromancer - 125
lvl 2, Book of Arkhan
25 Skeletons - 250
full command, spear
30 Zombies - 180
10 Dregs (Ghouls) - 80
15 Grave Guard - 225
full command, shield
Total: 1000
This is it so far, I am only doing a 1k point army so it isn't that big. The Vampire will go in the Zombie unit and the Necromancer will go with the Skeletons.

Looks fairly solid. I'd definitley find some points to make the Grave Guard a unit of 16 so you can get the full rank bonus. Undead really need that.
Consider also making space for a unit of Dire Wolves. This type of army really needs flankers as well. It's all about the CR game!
Cheers,

I could get rid of the book on the necromancer to add another Grave Guard. I may take off 5 Zombies and Skeletons to add 5 Dire Wolves. Would that work?

I should think that would work. Still, try it out on the battlefield to make sure. You should have little problem increasing the size of those units with two Invocations of Nehek.

I playtested the first list and it went well although I needed a hero in the unit of zombies when they were fighting some glade riders. Other than that it went alright. I'll playtest the 2nd list and see how that goes.

Ah yes, don't ever expect zombies to kill anything! Worst hand-to-hand fighters in the game, period. This is why I field them only four across, with a nice big vampire at the fron to do all the killing!
Good luck with the second game,

Zombies are speed bumps. I have another question, should I keep it how it is or replace the necromancer with another Vampire? Its the same points so thats why I ask.
Also, I need some name ideas for my characters, any ideas?

I'd keep the necromancer personally, will allow you a more flexible magic phase. As for zombies being speed bumps, I disagree. My zombies led by my Strigoi Count is my most powerful unit, but only when in conjunction with my wraith standing nearby waving the Cursed Book.
As for names, I normally use the names of my friends, but suitably "fantasized", e.g. Chris becomes Kryss. The general, of course, is always a parody of my own name.

What I mean was that they are speed bumps on their own. I planned on keeping the Necro but I wanted to see people's opinions on it first.
