Recently Dead..Going to War

[Kaelsyn]

Hey All.

I need some help with army design for a Death army. I have been involved in Warhammer ( of all flavours) for coming up 30 years. I have been through the ebb and flow of play styles and armies, however I have never played a Death army (any of the versions)

My power gaming days are behind me, however I do like to play something that can hold it's ground in games. I do tend to lean towards the models I like the most and I will actually (one day ) paint them.

This is my initial thoughts on a list. Bearing in mind the Rule of Cool compels me to include a Mortarch, Spirit Hosts, and Morghast.

Here is a list using those and a few fillers. Thoughts etc? Feel free to tear it apart and build it back up (remember my Rule of Cool preference). I would really appreciate input from you guys as, tbh, I have no clue about the Death Grand Alliance.

Could use more heroes for battleplans that require heroes to hold points because in 2k the necro and black teeth aren't going to last very long!!! I would consider running zombies instead of 3 separate units of skeles!
