    2500 VC, I got 142 pts left, where should they go ?

    Fantasy Army: Vampires
    Hey!

    Trying to get this 2500pts zombie dragon, sylvanian target list done, so I can get to the store and pick up whats left to buy ;D
    But I'm still 142 pts short of my intended 2500 pts target. So now I want some imput on where to put them!

    Soo, GG with shields, I know some of you will shy away from that, but I want to keep them, the models look ace with shields, and I don't fancy the great weapon option they come with :/
    I also plan on keeping the skeleton core ^^, since they fit better with wights, and they look better then all other core options we have ^^. I am trying to push it into kind of a "sylvanian count" style army. And before some one says crypt horrors don't fit, I want to say that they are being represented by the forge world skin wolves, and wolves kind of fit sylvania

    magic baners will help. screaming banner for a skeleton unit helps alot. Banner of barrows makes those black knights just nasty. Also, change the horrors to varghiest. horrors can't cover the dragon well because they don't fly. You only really need one block of skeletons for the center. Zombies follow after that in my eyes. you are 20 pts shy of 2 40 man zombie units. I would also try to get the rod of flamming death in a unit. That spell has the potential to wreck horde formation units.

    Your mounted Vampires should have lances.

    Seeming as you already have a ward save on your general (thus not needing the 6+ parry ward), give him the charmed shield for the 5 out of 6 chance he will ignore the first cannonball thats "aimed" (aimed is a loose term for the failure of 8th warmachine targeting) at him.

    21 grave guard seems a tad small. Add more or drop them all together for another unit of black knights?

    3 vargheists. They hit like a Mack truck and are fast as all get out. They'll be able to swiftly get rid of of threats to the Zombie Dragon and can support the skellies in combat.
