First of all this is a tournament with a accent on army composition scores. I'm one of the ppl writing the AC rules! A short list of things that take a hit from it:
- 2x thesame rare slot - heavy hit
- 3x special slot - heavy hit
- 3x core slot - small hit
- characters over 750pts - small hit
- PD after 7th, bound items are counted as 1 or 2 PDs - cumulative small hit
With this in mind i actually need a power list :( . Opposition will be very tough. Almost every year Italian pro gamers take the top places with Deamonic Legion, WE, Vampires, so i need to make a list according to them :/ .
Here are few lists that, imho, cut the cookie.

Necrarh
Count - NNB, Cynosure, MoBA, Forbidden Lore, Nightmare
Necro - Cursed Book, Nightmare
Necro - BoA, Scroll
Wight Lord BSB - barded Nightmare, ha, SoK, GoB
I'd much rather use a Lord. If i go Death Lore, count only knows 4 spells. However, bsb is really needed in this list (the only character killer), so 1 necro (only 1 IoN) is risking it too much.
2x5 Wolevs, 2x9 Ghouls, 10 Zombies, 20 Zombies with M, 10 Skellies with la and C
Ghouls will try to flank charge, there is a necro bunker and a vampire bunker (maybe if the opponent is magic light, skellies will get boosted to combat number in first two turns).
10 BK with FC and Barrows, 20 GG with FC and War Banner, 5+3 Bats, Banshee
Vampire can join GG or BK, BSB goes with BK, as does the banshee.
All in all a moderate AC hit for this list. Strong magic, good fighting potential, good flankers, weak vampire that has 3-4 units to hide in.


Strigoi 1
Lord - +1S, Bat, IH
Necro - BoA, Scroll
Wight Lord BSB - barded Nightmare, ha, Cursed Book
2x5 Wolves, 2x5 Ghouls, 10 Zombies, 20 Zombies with M, 20 Skellies with la and FC
Simmilar to Necrarh list, however more throw-away units.
9 BK with FC and Barrows, 2x3 Bats, 3 Spirit Host, Coach, Banshee
I'm not that worried about spirit host; since there are two characters capable of taking out dryads or demonic fast units. However, i've never used a coach on a tourney. On paper it looks good?
This is a friendly AC list. Solid magic, solid fighting units, lots of diverters (2 wolves, 2 ghouls, 2 bats, host, zombies, skellies... man, i'd like to see that my opponent picks a single fight during the game! ;) ), killer vampire.

Strigoi 2
Lord - +1S, Bat, IH
Necro - BoA, Scroll
Necro - Nightmare, Cursed Book
2x6 Wolves, 2x9 Ghouls, 10 Zombies, 2x25 Zombies with S, M, 20 Skellies with la and FC
10 BK with FC and Barrows, 2x5 Bats, Banshee
This is a horde army. It takes a small to moderate hit on AC. This one is kind of point-denial, since it's hard to take out infantry, and the real pts are only in BKs and the vamp. I usually play a simmilar army.

Sylvania
Lord - Dragon, Wristbands, Summon Wolves, BoA, Earthbind, Biting Blade
Thrall BSB - barded Nightmare, ha, Summon, GoB
2x5 Wolves, 6 scouting Wolves, 5+3 Bats, 2x20 Levy with S, M, spears
2x Coach, 9 BK with FC and Drak Banner
Meatgrinder of a list. Heavy hit on AC. Since it's hard to lose with this list, there is more presure, and maybe less fun to play with it. This is my least favorite of four mainly because it will mean i have to paint the dragon and convert some xbowmen :) !

There's my dilema. What to take. All of these are good lists, and all of them suit my playing style.
If you made it this far, thanks for reading, and any advice or tactical review is wellcomed!

well if you are after a hard core smashing tourney army, you cant go past the sylvania list. but i would swap out the lords items for:

cursed book
crown of stupidity
blade of biting

now before people call me a heretic, lets look at what you get...

vs t3 (humans and elves etc which are pretty common over here) the biting blade is as good as the sword of strength.

in combat, the lord now effectively has 2 ward saves. how? i hear you ask... well to hit the lord now, most people need a 6 if they are ws 8 or less. ws 9 or more they need a 5. so its really a 2+ or a 3+ ward save (if you cant hit, you cant wound)... and with the crown of stupidity its a 4+ ward save on top.

yes he is only str 5 vs tough 4 things, but you are on a str 6 dragon...

True, sylvania simply rocks. However, it take a big hit on our Comp sistem, which means it will require a lot of massacres in order to position high. And it doesn't seem all that reliable, dragon can fluff it, coaches get smashed by S7, and especially if the lord suffers from Stupidity all can be lost in a single turn.
