SKELETONS:
Skeleton are the basic Undead troop, they never kill anyone but if you put a vampire or a necromancer in that unit with the battle banner you' ll see even the toughnest troop flee thanks to the outnumber rule.
Skeleton Horsemen are very good if you give them the Doomrider Banner and lances ( 4+ S5 hits !!! ).

ZOMBIES:
The Zombies are a fantastic troop if you give them the Crown of Command. I think Skeleton are better because if your Enemy kill the carachter with the crown the Zombies crumble into dust!!! Whatever you must alwais include a Zombies troop in your Army ( N.B. this troop must alwais cost 1 PV ).

GHOULS:
Ghouls are a pretty troop with Toughness 4 and 2 Attacks but they will flee automatically if you lose the combat, so give them the " resolution " Banner ( x2 Rank Bonus can't pursue ) and you' ll have a deadly troop. Ghouls are very important versus High Elf, Lizardmen, Wood Elf because they are alive... ( do you remember the spell "BANISHMENT" ? )

GHOSTS:
I don' t like Ghost but if you can charge in front with them and on flank with Skeleton Horsmen, you ' ll certainly win the combat and the Enemy troop will automatically flee ( thanks to Ghost ).

WIGHTS:
Wight are the Elite Troops of the Undead, if you mount them then you' ll have the best chivalry in the game with 3 wounds and Toughness 4, a unit of mounted Wights led by a Vampire carryng the blade of Leaping Gold will crush EVERYTHING!!!

MUMMIES:
Mummies are the toughest troop of whole the game but they are so slow ! Wathever a unit of ten mummies armed with 2HW are the only troop that can resist a charge of chaos chivalry.

CARRIONS:
Carrion are the only Undead flying unit so make sure to take them versus Dwarf or Empire for cut down war machines.

WRAITHS:
Wraith are a terrible troops but are also very expensive. A great Combo is to put in a unit  of five or more wraith, an hero with the sword of destruction ( If you do this make sure to win the combat or the unit will crumble into dust!!! ). I advise to put at least one Wraith versus Lizardmen to stop the Stegadon.

SCREAMING SKULL CATAPULTS:
Skull Chuckers are pretty good expecially versus low-leadership unit like Goblin, Uman and Skaven take at least 3 or more catapult to make sure to hit something. ( N.B. You can raise the catapults with 9+ )

UNDEAD CHARIOTS:
Undead Chariots are very useful versus army that don' t shoot much and with high armour saving throw like Chaos or Bretonnian unlike other chariots undead chariots have S5 and T5 but you can resteed or recrew them.
( N.B. you can raise new chariots  with 10+ ).

ZOMBIE DRAGONS:
Zombie Dragon isn' t great in HtH combat but the pestilential breath is the better breath in the game. The Zombie Dragon  is useful versus high armour saving throw armies like Chaos and Bretonnian; in fact the Zombie Dragon will destroy every chivalry.

WHIGHT LORDS:
The Wight Lords are the ceepest heroes in Undead Army  and  they have wight blade but they aren' t strong so I advice to choose an hero between Mummy Tomb Kings and Vampires.

MUMMY TOMB KINGS:
4W and 5T what i can say... They're beautiful, if you mount them then they' ll became invincible ( try to give to a Mummy Tomb King the Heart of Woe and mount she... now you have a CRUISE ahahaha!!! ).

VAMPIRES:
I say only: 7WS, 7S, 6T and Carstein Ring!!!

NECROMANCER:
I prefer Vampires generals but Necromancers are a good choose because they repeat automatically spells. I disadvice low-levels Necromancers because they are only a gift for the enemy because they are very vulnerable.
