So after many games with my VC, I've concluded that the following 1500 pt list rocks the house, since I haven't lost with it yet, although some of those have been to good luck on my part (catching fleeing treemen with little skeletons is great fun). Of course, conveniently, these are all the models I have, so it's not like I have options. The black knights are represented by Bretonnian knights who have fallen under the sway of my lovely (and half naked) Lahmian vampires, trying to outperform each other to gain their lords' attentions and potentially receive the blood kiss. I've always liked Lahmians over the other vampires (even though GW's models for them aren't cool) because they're rarely seen used. Everyone and their mother uses blood dragons; zzzzz...
Vampire - 200 (General)
- Infinite Hatred, Beguile, Sword of Strength, Nightshroud, Black Periapt
Vampire - 175
- Lord of the Dead, Dark Acolyte, Helm of Commandment
Vampire - 180
- Lord of the Dead, Dark Acolyte, The Book of Arkhan
20 Skeleton Warriors - 205
- Sword, Shield, Light Armor, full command, Banner of the Dead Legion
20 Skeleton Warriors - 210
- Sword, Shield, Light Armor, Spears, full command, Banner of Hellfire
8 Black Knights - 232

5 Cairn Wraiths - 275
- Tomb Banshee
My general is a character killer, and in a pinch will wipe units, since she reduces enemies attacking her to Init 1, loses charging bonuses and ASF, while striking at WS and S 6, rerolling attacks and usually rerolling wounds. She has no defense because she doesn't really need it. Now if only she caused killing blow...
The other vampires support the army, raising and healing and whatnot. The skeletons are there to take up space, while the black knights and wraiths are scary, since they're fast and hit hard but can crumble.
