you can always buy as many signets of capture as you want, but if you are short on funds and looking for the best necro elite from the Factions campaign, I would probably go with Flesh Golem. Icy Veins is also great, and Discord is great if/when you get heroes.

I highly suggest putting up the 15-20 bucks per campaign (cheaper off ebay, etc.) and get Prophecies, Nightfall, and Eye of the North if you haven't yet...that is assuming you like GW so far.

you left out SS, but thats really mainly for doing different sorts of farming. Still THE best elite necro skill out there

At the start you should be a MM so Flesh Golem is a good option
10 * lvl 18 minions vs lvl 15/20 enemines is just great

Really? That's very subjective.
At the start, it hardly matters. Get an elite that suits your current build. Only as you progress, reach level 20 and the later stages of the game should you be selective about builds and elites.

I'm going to argue that SS isn't the best necro elite. It's good, useful and versatile but it isn't the best. It's hard to argue that any skill is the best though, so I'm not going to.

Icy Veins is crap - a conditional AoE nuke that deals cold damage. It's useless.

As you progress, I suggest you make use of the powerful curses line. If you can, get Mark of Pain. That, if anything is, is a vital necro skill.

im level 20 and i have factions and the original. where is the best place to get flesh golem?

The only place to capture Animate Flesh Golem is from Ghial the Bone Dancer in Xaquang Skyway.

I would hardly call [icy veins] a crap skill. It can be awesome in the right situations.

Its excellent AoE damage it can really turn a bad situation in a good one even in RA Hexed War Dies > Hexed Ele Dies > Hexed Monk Dies > Pew Pew Necro

Combines very well with [Edge of Extinction]

EOE while a decent skill, ALSO hurts your team as well, so when all those things die, if your team is under 90% health you get the blamo too. As for IV, in nm, it works soso, but things like SS, SV, Discord and others are far superior, and once you reach lvl 20, you should have already been having your necro hero doing the mm as they are far superior to the way a human could run one because of their aptitude at microing skills like Jagged Bones and also Death Nova

It's far too situational as a nuke that deals cold damage, especially for your elite. You can run a perfectly good time bomb build without it, skills like Putrid and Rising Bile deal much better armour ignoring damage. Their recharges are higher, but I'd prefer a different elite to Icy Veins.
