LVL 2 Dark magic, Dark steed, dispel scroll.

Rare
9 Warlocks with champ and banner of eternal flame(this unit is my regiment of renown and has a special ability to take a banner up to 50pts.)
1 Great Cannon (Something I got during escalation. I am not a fan of cannons but I got one and painted it just to play this game and it looks amazballs)

Vampire Counts
Lord: level 4 Night shroud dispel scroll

Hero:
Cairn Wraith
Cairn Wraith
Vampire quick blood, the neg 3 ld test thing, armor of destiny

Core:
20 zombies
29 ghouls (with magic banner from league but he did not take one)
20 zombies

special:
2 bat swarms
spirit host
4 Vargiests (with ASF special rule from league)
8 Hex wraiths

Some of his may not be in the right spot but this was about it.

He was attacking my capital so it was battle line and for every 200 VPs he wins by he modifies the die roll at the end by one to see if he takes my capital. Base I start with a 66 % chance to keep it.
The victory points at the end were 399 left for him and 278 left for me so there was no modifier and I kept my capitol. If you would like the full battle report respond and I will post it. This game was alot tougher then I thought it would be.
