Pyramid Challenge!

I've been at the top of our local pyramid for many months now with my Vampires, but nobody wants to fight them. Finally, a worthy and brave Brettonian has stepped forth to challenge me! Guillermo is always fun to play with, and his list will be very tricky...I believe he'll be using the Fey Enchantress and two level-1 damsels loaded with scrolls, and probably two grail knight units and a big unit of pegasus knights. I'm going to try something new for this game. The top pyramid game is at 2500 pts, so here's the list I think I'm going to try: Vampire Lord (2#, 590 Pts) 1 Vampire Lord @ 590 Pts General; Vampire; Level 3 Upgrade; Hand Weapon; Undead 1 Abyssal Terror @ [135] Pts Causes Terror; Flyer; Large Target; Undead 1 The Balefire Spike @ [10] Pts 1 The Flayed Hauberk @ [25] Pts 1 Book of Arkhan @ [35] Pts 1 Wristbands of Black Gold @ [30] Pts 1 Aura of Dark Majesty @ [50] Pts 1 Ghoulkin @ [25] Pts 1 Infinite Hatred @ [25] Pts Vampire (1#, 220 Pts) 1 Vampire (Battle Standard Bearer) @ 220 Pts Vampire; Hand Weapon; Battle Standard Bearer; Undead 1 Sword of Might @ [15] Pts 1 Nightshroud @ [20] Pts 1 Talisman of the Lycni @ [10] Pts 1 Infinite Hatred @ [25] Pts 1 Walking Death @ [25] Pts Vampire (1#, 195 Pts) 1 Vampire @ 195 Pts Vampire; Hand Weapon; Undead 1 Walach's Bloody Hauberk @ [45] Pts 1 Avatar of Death (Great Weapon) @ [20] Pts 1 Flying Horror @ [30] Pts Lord of the Barrows (1#, 145 Pts) 1 Wight King @ 145 Pts Barding; Hand Weapon; Heavy Armour; Shield; Undead 1 Skeletal Steed @ [0] Pts 1 Sword of Kings @ [25] Pts 1 The Gem of Blood @ [25] Pts Dire Wolves (5#, 40 Pts) 5 Dire Wolves @ 40 Pts Fast Cavalry; Undead Dire Wolves (5#, 40 Pts) 5 Dire Wolves @ 40 Pts Fast Cavalry; Undead Squad (1#, 100 Pts) 1 Corpse Cart @ 100 Pts Balefire Crypt Ghouls (20#, 160 Pts) 20 Crypt Ghouls @ 160 Pts Causes Fear; Poisoned Attacks; Undead Crypt Ghouls (20#, 160 Pts) 20 Crypt Ghouls @ 160 Pts Causes Fear; Poisoned Attacks; Undead Crypt Ghouls (20#, 160 Pts) 20 Crypt Ghouls @ 160 Pts Causes Fear; Poisoned Attacks; Undead Fell Bats (5#, 100 Pts) 5 Fell Bats @ 100 Pts Flyer; Undead Grave Guard (20#, 270 Pts) 19 Grave Guard @ 270 Pts Musician Mus; Standard Bearer Std; Hand Weapon; Heavy Armour; Shield; Undead 1 Seneschal @ [24] Pts Hand Weapon; Heavy Armour; Shield Black Knights (5#, 144 Pts) 5 Black Knights @ 144 Pts Musician Mus; Standard Bearer Std; Hand Weapon; Lance; Heavy Armour; Shield; Undead 5 Skeletal Steed @ [0] Pts Varghulf (1#, 175 Pts) 1 Varghulf @ 175 Pts Vampire; Causes Terror; Hatred; Regenerate; Undead Total Roster Cost: 2499 The idea is the ghouls will be spread out across the table, one on each flank. As deployment finishes, I'll pick one flank and load that ghoul unit with the vampires and the Terror beside. With Ghoulkin the vamps should be in range for a charge on turn 1...best case I get Vanhels on Lord and he can join turn 1 also, but more likely he'll get in to the fight on turn 2 from a flank. While they're picking on one unit, I'll have the Guard in the middle and the Varghulf and Black Knights with Wight King pushing the other flank, hopefully crushing that side too while the ghouls take the brunt of the charges. That's the plan, anyway...
