Let's Talk Competitive Nagash?

Hi!

A pretty casual AOS player here looking for some much needed and appreciated help with building a 2k Nagash list

I'm considering going to a 2k Tournament in June and am thinking about possibly taking Nagash as I love him to bits. 
I'm not expecting to win by any means, but I'm confident it would be a good time :D

What do you think makes a good Nagash list? Here are some ideas I have been playing with:

Quote

 

Nagash with First Cohort
1990 / 2000
Leaders

Nagash - 800 points

Necromancer - 110 points
Artefact:  Grave-sand timeglass

Battleline
Morghast Archai x 2 - 220 points
 - Spirit Halberds

Direwolves x5 - 60 points
 - doom wolf

Skeleton warriors x 40 - 280 points
 - Full command
 - Ancient spears

Grave guard x15 - 240 points
 - full command
 - Great Wight Blades

Black Knights - 120 points
 - full command

Warscroll Battalion
The First Cohort - 160 points 
(pass saves to morghasts on a 4+, all invocations automatically are a 3)

 


A second list I was considering was dropping the cohort, upping the graveguard and putting in a mounted wight king to move around the table.

Nagash no battalion
1990 / 2000
Leaders

Nagash - 800 points

Necromancer - 110 points
Artefact:  Grave-sand timeglass

Wight King with Baleful Tomb Blade - 120 points
 - Skeletal steed
 - Ancient shield

Battleline
Morghast Archai x 2 - 220 points
 - Spirit Halberds

Direwolves x5 - 60 points
 - Doom wolf

Direwolves x5 - 60 points
 - Doom wolf

Skeleton warriors x 10 - 80 points
 - Full command
 - Ancient swords and shields

Grave guard x30 - 420 points
 - full command
 - Great wight nlades

Black Knights - 120 points
 - full command

 


Now both these lists are probably terrible but I would love some pointers on where to go with them!

My thought process is that with Nagash on the table I'm gonna be struggling in objectives so I want to have some cheap fast units (dire wolves) to skirt around and take objectives. 

The black knights are a bit of a more serious counter charger for anyone who kicks off the direwolves.

That would free up Nagash and his boys to do their thing while the necromancer sits back and provides Vanhels for Nagash to bang on the skeletons or graveguard so they can stay a solid wall pushing up the board.
