Here is my list, which I've had a fair amount of success in friendly games of course. I'm yet to try this in a real competitive scene Leaders Mannfred - General - Overwhelming dread Vampire lord on Zombie Dragon - Ethereal amulet - Amethistine Pinions Necromancer - Fading Vigour Battleline 2x 40 skellies 5 wolves Hammers 2 Morghast Harbingers - Halberds 3 Vargheists Endless Spells Soulsnare Shackles Total 1990/2000 Wounds 144 Extra CP 0 Basically, Morghasts and Vargheists in the ambush. The VLOZD, skellies and necromancer deployed, and depending on scenario, wolves in grave or on board edge of the DZ. Mannfred deployment is opponent dependant. If theres a threat on table that will potential wipe him off in one round from range, hes in ambush. Thats where the VLOZD steps in. the 3+ ethereal allows him to take the heat and lock down any ranged units before Manny comes into play. Other wise he is deployed to get his Command ability off. Vargheists held back for the light hero on foot or single wound infantry, Morghasts to deal with any heavy armored threat (Kurnoth hunters, etc). The Deathrattle move into positions for superior board control. With the 'gheists all in ambush opponents generally deploy further back then they would like, allowing the 80 skeletons to move in and sit on objectives, supported by grave sites and necromancer. I'm quite new to the hobby, I started around the release of the LON book, drawn to the play style of Night, I've tried many different combinations all utilizing Mannfred and I have found him paired with an ethereal VLOZD has been the most successful thus far.
