Lots of love there for Ramhotep, which I guess is okay if you're happy to leave the Spinxes, Scorpions, Ushabti, Stalkers, Colossi and Hierotitans on the bench, but what's the fun in that? 3+ re-rollable armour save Necropolis Knights are spectacular, but as you said, you have to leave a lot of fun stuff behind to ensure it. I especially hate to leave the hierotitan and the stalkers out of lists.

Khalida (currently winning the poll) is NOT the best tactical choice though. That was the question. Maybe the most popular but stand and shoot is really "tactical" I'd like to see lists with her in it that maybe I could try out as I'm not convinced.

Greg Tactical in the sense of being the most powerful, or best contributing to the most effective army in terms of winning games. Stand and shoot would be awesome for a Khalida led unit. It would make tying up her unit a lot more difficult for the opposition.

I know it's been FAQ'd so not a discussion point (I'm afraid) but actually having her as a TOMB KING would be massive. I agree the stand and shoot would be neat but against all the undead reaction rules but the queens description actually says Character, Tomb King. On the topic of charcaters though, I guess it's what I consider an auto include (if I take special characters) Arkhan would make most lists where Khalida needs to have certain styles of lists. I would consider putting Arkhan in a TG block with chariot core where as I wouldn't put Khalida in an army that doesn't have any archers. Greg

I would consider putting Arkhan in a TG block with chariot core where as I wouldn't put Khalida in an army that doesn't have any archers. Greg A case can definitely be made for Arkhan. Being a level 5 wizard and and his ability to store and convert dispel dice to power dice, makes him a potent choice. In addition, the Lore of Death is considered by many to be the best overall lore in the game. The one thing I don't like about the lore of death is the somewhat short range (coupled with a slow TK army). Plus I don't find it all that fun to play, but that is just personal preference and has no bearing on its power level. Arkhan did receive the most votes in the same poll posted over at the Tomb Kings of Khemri forum (nearly 3 times as many as Khalida). I think an argument can be made for Arkhan, Khatep, Ramhotep or Khalida. All are strong, interesting and viable. Obviously Khalida must be placed in a large archer unit, that is her sole function. In either case though, I would create a list around the character.

I tend to write my lists backwards when it comes to TK. Asmentioned above I generally don't use special characters a hang up from early GW tournaments but I tend to take 490 pts of rare as default (CoS/2xSSC/Hiero) I then go for what ever I fancy. Greg

Greg I'm the polar opposite. With Tomb Kings, I nearly always field a special character. I find them fun and they greatly change the dynamic of the army. With my Lizardmen and WoC I only tend to field special characters about 25% of the time.

LOL My Lizards (which to be fair is the only army I've bought from someone who was quitting so isn't all my own choices) is the only army I auto include a special character and that's Tetto. I bought him after I purchased the army but he adds so much to the army I cannot duplicate in any other way Greg

I bought him after I purchased the army but he adds so much to the army I cannot duplicate in any other way Greg Tetto is extremely cost effective, and the best Lizardmen special character points-wise. When I do field a Lizardmen special character it is usually him or Lord Kroak. However, I find that I enjoy fielding a regular tooled up Slann more than either of them.

Slann being a Lord and tetto being a hero makes a nice combo but I feel that we've gone off topic somewhat

Greg Personally I think that Khalida, Ramhotep, Arkhan and Khatep are all very solid and can work very well in a TK list. Furthermore, each of them change the complexion of the TK army.
