So I am going to have a battle with a friend soon using my Tomb Kings. We decided that we wanted to up the size of
our battles so it will be the first one at 2000 points. So, here is my list:
Lords
Tomb king w/ Destroyer of eternities, light armor 243 pts

Heroes
Tomb Prince w/ antarhak, chariot of fire, light armor 208 pts
Liche Priest (Heirophant) w/ cloak of dunes, jar 160 pts
Liche Priest w/ 2 dispell scrolls 165 pts

Core
10 Skeletons w/ bows 80 pts
10 Skeletons w/ bows 80 pts
25 Skeletons w/ hw, shield, light armor 250 pts
20 Skeletons w/ spear, shield, light armor 200 pts
3 chariots w/ champion 140 pts
3 chariots w/ champion 140 pts

Special
Tomb Scorpion 85 pts
14 Tomb Guard w/ full Command, Undying banner 223 pts

Total: 1974

I don't know what to do with the rest of the points.
Now, I know that this may not be that competive but I have a limit on how much money i can spend.
Right now I have a battalion, a prince, 2 liches, and 10 tomb guard. I can spend about $180 US, so what do you think I should get?
Thanks for any input!

edit: spelling etc

i don't know a whole lot about tomb kings but i know that it would be good to know what army your friend will be playing

i´d do this

remove champions on chariots (you can get a whole chariot for 2 champions which is effectively +2 attacks)
make the tomb prince legal (can´t have chariot of fire and antarak) or remove him entirely for points

get screaming skull catapult
increase tomb guard unit size (19 - 24) so they have full rank bonus´.
add another tomb scorpion
add a tomb swarm if you have a spare 45 points (it can easily take out a war machine crew on its own when it tunnels)

Bleedge: My friend will be playing dark elves, and we might have two other friends join in the battle as well. The teams would me and a warriors of chaos army, against DE and the new lizards.

Leighr: Whoops, I forgot the tomb prince could only take 50 pts worth of wargear. Should I take him out and add anotehr liche?

Should I try and get some Ushabti? I've heard they were good but they are expensive $$ wise.

I think you want the Icon of Rakaph on those Tomb Guard.

From expreience, you'd want at least collar of shappesh on the tombking or maybe even cloak of dunes in order to fly around and attack war machines or whatever... The collar is basically a cheap 4+ ward.

The lichepriest setup is good, for tomb prince just chariot of fire and flail is good enough, if you have the points you can give him the icon to make him US5 or the wardsave for chariot thing, those are nice.
spears are not improtant, if a skeleton kills anything, laugh and if you are fighting something a skeleton can kill, you don't need spears, save the points =D.

If you are going more close combaty and not shooting ,definately get some ushabti and maybe a bonegiant too, those are nifty and really add a big punch to your army.

The chariots should take a banner, or at least the chariot unit with the tombprince, warbanner looks good and give undying legion to a skeleton warrior block.

Icon of rakaph is a lifesaver sometimes and othertimes a really nifty thing to have, makes the unit actually really fast!

SO, play a few games, proxy things and see how they work out.

With tombkigns, MAKE SURE you keep your lichepriests alive at ALL costs, losing them loses games!

Bob: i would get some ushabti however with your budget probably not
i´d also personally get rid of the tomb prince and use the points on something else without adding the liche priest.

i also agree about the cloak on the tomb king. makes him quite nasty with the destroyer of eternities

i don´t think the chariots need a standard simply because i would use them more as flankers and small unit destroyers rather than as big impact units (which is also why i would lose the tomb prince as well)

How should I use the Tomb King with destroyer and the cloak, it sounds powerful?

Also, I'm pretty sure you can only have one of each magic item, so does that mean I can only have one heiractic jar? Thanks

edit: cleared up post

yes you can only have one of each magic item

as for TK with the cloak i would use the cloak to move him to where he will be most useful. to take out warmachines you fly near them and then magic yourself into combat. try to line up two in a row so that when you overrun you are in combat with the second and safe from shooting next turn (plus you take out two warmachines rather than just one).
