A unit of tomb kings archers don't suffer any modifiers to hit and will love to see the easy kills of lone characters.
Goblin units are cheap, archers or spear chuckkas should be able to bring them down.
That said, vampire counts were built for this tactic.
A vampire with etheral is immune to all none magic attacks. He can have flying or the ring of lychni for speed. There's the armour that gives an addition -2 to hit when shot at. I might be wrong, but I think they even have a magic item that gives the bearer a 3+ ward against warmachines and magic missles.
With fear, high weapon skill and init, and strength 5, he should be able to drive off even dwarven warmachine crews.
