    Total: 2400

    So, this is the roster that I had developed few days ago, but not sure if it's good.
    Why no vampires: I think they are too fragile now and it's a big loss when they die.
    Necromancer with death is for hex -3 to LD, and soulblight.
    I don't believe in skeletons, so I don't use them.
    The zombies are indestructible bunker, as far as I played, nobody didn't kill them cuz in 2 magic phases from 20 zombies I've got about 40-50 of them.
    Looks like it.

    So, I hope to get some feedback guys, and hope you'll advise what to change to make roster better.

    I think its too top heavy.

    M.Nerco lists are very strong, but they need a balance of a consistant magic phase and a solid combat selection in your uinits, which your lacking.

    Death is fine, but really Vampire lore + combat units should really be your primary focus in tournments. I've tried dual M.N.s +1 death, its can to mean and its certainly fun, but its not a concrete as Vampire lore spam imho.

    The thing about death(my favorite lore over all but not )in V.C. is that we just don't support its range attacks well, we get better combat buffs from V.Lore than its buff/debuffs and -L.d. is situational

    The good thing about vampire lore in tournaments is that its easy to cast and AoE effects alot of units, this tires in well with the basic armybook contruction of attrition based play. So you really get alot of good magic for your points. Its a really nice foundation to build a magic heavy list on.

    The big thing is you really need 1 or 2 combat units to focus your casting on, buff up and go to town while your AoE effective hit your support unit. With out focused combat units your really wasting your magic phase. I like your list lacks a bit of high strength attacking power. Ghouls + CHs is alittle over kill on the poison attacks, while you lack a real can opener unit.

    Well a real can opener unit is grave guards, but it's quite hard to place horrors and graves in one list but not impossible, maybe drop one necromancer lord and mortis engine and place 30 gw gg. But I doubt that horrors can live long with 5+ regen.
    And I'm not sure that graves will live till their strike, cuz they are very fragile.
    But anyway thank you very much for advice. I'll consider it.

    Here is another variant. Looks nice but still would like to hear some advise. I think I lack terrorgheist, too often this monster was making wonders in my games.
    (graves armed with great weapons).
