Hello Everyone...
I want to try again a Khalida armylist ( after years) .
the list includes choises I ' ve never played ( Bowshabti and Bowgiants)
Unfortunatly I have only Ushabti with great weapon ...but I think a "proxy " is not a big thing.
Here you are the list

I wished I had more points to protect better the prince...but I could not "cut" anything
Khalida , hiero and Prince will be in the big archers ' block.
The Prince is necessary for making them "decent" in a late game fight.
I invested not that much in magic just a Lev 4 wizard + Casket ... it should be fine ...I saved points for other stuff.
Shooting Phase
51 poisoned arrows hitting on 4+ ( unit deployed in ranks of 25 )
8 ushabti's arrows S6
2 S6 balista shots (multiple wounds D3 ) from BowGiants
6 arrows from chariots
( stalkers shooting...)
I have just 1 chaff unit but stalkers and chariots can help to delay the enemy
In fighting phase I can count on 8 ushabti ( 24 attacks WS 4 ..but only S4 ...I hope I can buff them with magic )
A huge block of archers WS 5 ....reg 6+
Chariots for flank charge
2 giants I would play in combo ...8 attacks ( maybe more ...thanks to their Unstoppable Assault) S6 and 2 thunderstomp.
I was thinking to include 1 or 2 skull catapults but honestly I don't like them so much.
they are unreliable .
Bowgiants , instead, are a 2 "mobile Wm" much more tactical.
I can shoot I can use them for a combo charge ..or I can use one of them to bodyguard Khalida's archers...
Several options available.
generally who is playing Khalid tends to maximise the numer of archers...for being ( imho) often overwhelmed in the late game becasue of the lack of decent fighting units.
I kept in mind this weakness and I hope this armylist will show to be balanced.
I have never played a list like this...
what do you think about it....?
let me know....
Thanks in advance for your comments and suggestions....
