Grand Host of Nagash Escalation Tournament

[AverageBoss]

So for the coming weekend, my shop is throwing an escalation tournament type of event. It look like we will also be using the two extra spells from the MP event this week. I have to use Grand Host (its what my shop is enforcing after starting MP with the allegiance), and I cannot use named characters. I need 3 lists. 1K, 1.25K, and 1.5K all using 1K composition rules.

I am thinking:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Allegiance: Grand Host of Nagash

Vampire Lord (140)
- General
- Mount: Nightmare
- Trait: Lord of Nagashizzar
- Lore of the Vampires: Vile Transference
Necromancer (110)
- Artefact: Grave-sand Timeglass
- Lore of the Deathmages: Overwhelming Dread
40 x Skeleton Warriors (280)
- Ancient Spears
10 x Dire Wolves (120)
2 x Morghast Harbingers (220)
- Spirit Halberds
3 x Spirit Hosts (120)

Total: 990 / 1000
Allies: 0 / 200
Wounds: 91

Lord of nagashizar is great but I would go with ancient strategist, gives you more of a chance on them charges.
