Decided to dust off the Tomb Kings for the first time in 6 years, and I'll be facing my mates new Empire army this weekend. He's literally just got it so it'll be a new experience for us both.
This list is really not optimised or anything, it's just all the models I've managed to find and repair so far ( The scorpions and stalkers seem to have entombed themselves beneath the sands permanently during a house move)
Lords: Liche High Priest, level 4, heirophant, lore of nehekhara, talisman of preservation, earthing rod (I really feel he needs to stay alive!)
Heroes: Liche Priest, level 2, skeletal steed, lore of light
Tomb Prince, great weapon, armour of destiny (T5, 4++ can tank most attacks, S4 is puny though so he needs the GW. A little annoyed he can't take a halberd really)
Core: 40 Skellywags, spears, light armour, shields, full command (horde formation to try and get the CR up)
20 Skellywags with bows (high priest bunker)
5 horse archers (mounter priest bunker)
3 chariots, champion
3 chariots, champion
Special: 20 Tomb Guard, halberds, full command, banner of swiftness (with tomb prince, 7 wide 3 deep)
Warsphinx, fiery roar
2 tomb swarms (ebts, warmachine hunting in the absence of scorpions)
2 tomb swarms
Rare: Screaming skull catapult
Casket of souls
Necrosphinx
The models aren't really going to change for this week (unless I stumble upon the correct box in the spare room), but any thoughts on magic items/tactics? And also what exactly are the empire like to play against - I know there will be a steam tank, demigryphs, greatswords etc ......
