I took up the challenge of playing my opponents army : Vampire Counts.
This is the list I came up with sofar:
Necrarch Vampire count-General total : 340
the awakening, sword of striking, Nehekara's noble blood
Necromancer - lvl 2 total 150
book of arkhan, dispell scroll
Necromancer - lvl 2 total 140
black periapt, gem of blood
Necrarch vampire Thrall total 105
dark acolyte
35 zombies 210
34 zombies 204
19 skeleton warriors 234
spear,LA,command group
general will join this unit
10 skeleton warriors 135
spear, LA, command group
10 skeleton warriors 135
spear,LA,comm.group
5 dire wolves 50
3 spirit hosts 195
5 fell bats 100
10 power dice/6 dispel dice
I will keep the units of skeleton warriors to the back..the bigger one with the general in the middle.
The units of zombies will go in front of that..to prevent him from going directly after my general.
the wolves, spirit hosts and fell bats will protect 1 flank..the other will have to be protected by either terrain of table edge.
with the 10 (11 if I can store a disp.dice) power dice I can raise extra units to flanks of units engaged in combat...and make the smaller skeleton groups bigger.
Now my questions to you...
*are there any better magic item combo's to make?
*are these the best units to protect my flanks?
*any other comments or tips are welcome.

Agreed with Rork, but I'd also extend that to the general's unit; I'd make them only 15, so, like the unit of 10, you can raise them with the same equipment (LA, spear) as opposed to just basic. The gem of blood I don't think you can even take on a necro, but even if you can't, you shouldn't. Instead, give him either a scroll or nothing. I'd also switch the thralls acolyte to noble blood and the sword of striking off for more bloodline powers (as many as possible being the best option).
