How many necromancers do you guys use in battles below 2000p? Im quite torn on this one really. I mean when you get to 2000+ you often have a count that is level 2 and a necro to go with him, this is enough for 2000p IMO. You also have 2-3 combat characters that will handle the fighting.

Now, below 2000p you only have 3 character slots and as magic is pretty important to VC you should have 2 necros. That indeed, but what VC also is depending on is to have combat characters there to win the combats.

so im leaning on having 1 necromancer and 2 combat characters (2 striggies or 1 striggie and one wraith), is this magic enough?

hey there.i'm not huge fan of necromancers!apart from the fact that i use them because they are obligatory ,i wuld use probably two necromancers .one should be equiped defensively(general).check my topic about sylvanians

In below 2000 points i always use 2 necros, im a big fan of necros. And i think with VC magic makes the diffrence. With 2 Necros you get the perfect amount of power and dispell dice. And 1 thrall kills good enough.
But thats my oppinion. ^_^

depends what kind of army you play, if its more elite then i guess 1 is good enough but if your going for horde style then i recomne 2 necros as you need to summon more skelies and etc. so it depends for me i play blood dragons mines quite elitiezed 1500 points got grave gard and black knights and 2 regiments 1 skely and other zombie but i take 2 necros not just ot summon up units but they have other really good spells too such as vanhels dense macabre and hellish vigour so its really up to you what you want.
