Was playing a game had a great time with a khalida list, this is what I am thinking of running in a tournament:

Heros:910

Khalida:420

LP:165
Staff of sorcery

LP:165
scroll, jar

LP:160
golden ahnkra (going to be on casket)

Core:600

Skeleton archers:235
20 archers with poison shots, banner undying legion

skeleton archers:200
20 archers with poison shots

chariots:165
3 chariots, banner, warbanner

Special:485

carrion:120
5 carrion

Ushabti:195
3 ushabti

tombscorpion:85

Tombscorpion:85

Rare:255

catapult:90

Casket:165

Would auto-smite catapult, cast smiting on archers so total of 80 archer shots a turn with poison, it is pretty fun! Khalida's bound staff s nasty if it goes off (any casualties inflicted means that unit CAN NOT move at all next turn) and casket of course with staff of sorcery just for added magic defense and umph for magic phase. I figure archers will reform when enemy gets close and I'll just take the charge then flank charge with ushabti/chariots and if anything maybe run scorpions out front to divert charges and use carrion to march block.

any thoughts?

I've always thought about using a list similar to this, those poison archers would be great against so many things.

I would recommend using the cloak of the desert dunes on the liche priest with the jar, and make him your heirophant. Being able to put in that crucial urgency right where you need it at the end of the magic phase will be great.

Khalida only has one spell and it always works, so there may be a phase where your opponent stops two urgency attempts with scrolls and uses all dispel dice on your third.

I was thinking about that but since I am using a shooty list, the enemy will be coming to me and I will need all the liche priests localized for raising spells. Urgency will be needed to get the ushabti/chariots into the flank or rear of a unit so the hierophant doesn't really need the cloak imo.

In every other type of list or perhaps if it were a bigger game, I would definately take a cloak though.
