500 point VC warband

Necromancer
lvl 2, cloak of mist and shadows
Total=145

5 skeletons
Total=40

3 dire wolves
Total=30

3 spirit hosts
Total= 195

Banshee
total=90

TOTAL=500 points

The plan is to use the dire wolves as flankers, while my necro makes the skeletons bigger with his superior magic. The banshee will yell at low leadership stuff and the spirit host will be a power unit with its many attacks and wounds.

Looks solid, I take it you use the warband rules as the skeleton unit is really small...

But if you are, i thought that your character could only cost up to 125 pts, or am I wrong?

Nope, you can have 0-2 heroes, but their combined cost can't exceed 150 points. The 125 point limit is for Border Patrol. I'll post a link to the warbands in the general discussion forum.

P.S. not very exciting but 100th post!

looks good, those spirit hosts and banshees can really hurt the enemy a lot, because there won't be many magic weapons and stuff..
normally, I don't really like taking banshees, but in this case, I can see how much they can do.

I just thought it would be evil to make an almost completely ethereal warband, thats why my necro has the cloak. I cant wait to get some spirit hosts and a banshee.

I'm also planning to use the armoured skeleton halberdiers in addition to the ghost things to mix-and-match on the swarm bases for a more interesting look. Any opinions about this? They will both be painted like the army of the dead from LOTR.

Well the spirit host in itself isnīt all that good looking, but with small changes, like the one you mentioned i think it can look very nice indeed...

Looks good, but I would use Book of Arkhan & Gem of Blood instead of the cloak.

that would leave his general very vulnerable! and necromancers tend not to live long when they're vulnerable, let alone if they're the general too!

The cloak of shadows and mists is my favorite VC item for necros

I'm not a big fan of it, but it makes almost my entire warband ethereal. I considered a wraith but it doesn't have magic.

I guess I could do a batrep...wouldn't be too long considering it's warbands though. It won't be anytime soon as I only have the necro, skellies and dire wolves. You're looking at after christmas probably.

that's fine with me. is it ok with you if I use this list? I was already planning on buying another spirit host, so if I have it I will have all the models needed for this list.
