Dread necros are good too. If you want a literal horde, take Undead Leadership (from Libris Mortis) if your DM allows it (I wouldn't, and I'm a sucker for necros). If you prefer quality over quantity in your skeletal minions, I recommend raising either fire giants or (if you can find 'em) red dragons of whatever age category your CL can stand. Immunity to cold + immunity to fire is nice. I would also take the corpsecrafter feat (again from Libris Mortis) - the others in that chain are nice, but not essential.</blockquote>
