Since he had no shotting and no warmachine, I kept fleeing from him while frying his units with spells, I was able to land a Fiery convocation on turn 3 after I tried to Arcane unforge his Vampire Lord. I had 7 dices, and was able to land it with 3 dices, he threw 4 dices to dispel it leaving 2 dices to dispel whatever I threw at him next, I used all my remaining dices on Fiery Convocation on hits Skeeleton army that also had two necromancers, he wasnt able to dispel it this turn and he was unlucky in his turn as well, his units kept burning till the end of the game.

I can see this win a battle against Undead, it`s pretty hard.

You have an Talisman of Preservation .
You don`t need that, the Slann has an shield of the old ones, so he already has an 4+ ward save.
I would give hime an Osidian Lodestone, so he would have an 1+ ward save against magic.
