I couldn't find the original post containing Palpster's warband so I hope this quote thing works. 
I liked the idea of Palpster's Skele warband so I duplicated it to the best of my ability with the miniatures I had. I switched out a few cards because I wanted to.

Commander Delthrin Everet

Warband
4 War. Skeletons
2 Tomb Guardian
1 Kyuss
1 Hob. G Sorceror
3 Lich
1 Dracolich

Orders 31
2 Grovel
4 Hulking Attack
4 Defensive Advantage
2 Reckless Attack
3 Warning shouts
2 Unending horde
3 Arcane Ritual
3 Fireball
3 Gout of Fire
3 Str. in #'s
2 Tough as nails


Looking back on it the shouts could have been replaced by shields. I should have trimmed the Str. in #'s down to two and added two Sacrifices for a little more Oomph.

While I certainly understand the extra Lich (I only have two or I'd have run 3), I don't really understand why you'd play a Hobgoblin Sorceror in there. It's not undead, so it doesn't benefit from Lich and can't use it's own ability so it's just a less than optimal ranged caster in this particular warband isn't it?

I've wanted to use morgana in this warband and restructure the order list to take advantage of her ability. i would be able to cut down my immediates from 11 to 8 and put in a few more standards. 

Morgana build
4 war skeles
2 tomb guards
3 Lich
2 disciple
3 vampires

orders
4 hulking attack
3 fireball
3 gout of fire
2 str in #'s

4 Defiant stance


1 call to battle
4 arcane ritual
2 unending horde 
2 mage hand 
3 magic shortswords
3 dispel magic

With this build I was able to keep my morale quite high but my warband couldn't quite punch through a solid adventurer block. Magic shortsword didnt perform very good in this build and would serve better as Reckless Attacks. Morgana's isn't an ability that should replace almost all of my immediates. I should have included some shields
