I was thinking something around CR 8-10....meaning HD of about 10-12, i think. I mainly need suggestions on what you would do for their specific spell-likes, also i'd likely replace their summon undead with summon nightspawn.

Moving around quickly once they reach it would also be beneficial. I'd give them self-only shadow walk twice per day... I'd probably give them darkness-related spell like abilities at will, use of smaller combat spells like ray of enfeeblement at-will (makes them more threatening to low-level characters with low saves so they can terrorise more effectively). Perhaps give them limited access, 1 per night, of shadow evocation too? Foot-soldiers should work together well. Perhaps a group of them could use circle of death, finger of death, or some other destructive necromantic/shadow spell once per night?
