taking 2 specials is not cheezy the new vamp book permotes it. i like list 1 because it would just look amazing on the table also 24 tombguard wont last long in CC so why take it. i dont know TK i have only played against them 1 time... and won also the main thing as its a fluff list so the odds are it wont be overly killy but it one fast army

well I disagree...tombguard can be excellent with a tomb king support giving them his high WS, however this does not mean that they necessarily support your list, as you wouldn't have a tomb king with them and the rest of your list is much faster.... therefore list one has an advantage as your whole army can move quickly and attack in a much more coordinated manner. If you like both necro knights and stalkers you could always have three of each in the list...

the key will be using your warsphinx effectively, as most of your other units cannot survive prolonged combat... very much an alpha strike list, but at least the sphinx's are very tough and blocks will have a hard time getting through one, so they may be able to stick a few blocks that your chariots would have a hard time breaking through.
