Hi Members,
I had been using the 2250 point list below quite successfully in a tournament ( 2 minor and 1 major win) and at my local game store (2 major wins) recently.

The list was:
Lord on Peg, birth sword, enchanted shield and grail vow
BSB Biting blade and grail vow
5 units of 9 KotR - FC
2 units of archers
2 units of PKs (no command)
6 Mounted yeomen
4 Grail Knights (BSB here)

The plan was to weather magic for 2 turns and then everyone would be in combat. No Ladies to slow me down and no Trebs with nothing to shoot at by turn 3. The Knights would take care of business. The 2 archer units would remain back to hold quarters and maybe pick off a guy or two.

So last week I called up a distant game store looking for models. The owner told me they were wrapping up a tournament and if there was an odd player I could play him. It was at 2500 points.

So everything of mine was packed up and all I needed to do was add 250 points. Another 9 KotR and 2 archers did the trick.

So I go to the game store today and there is an odd guy with no one to play so I fill in.

Guess what army? Tomb Kings with 3 Liche Priests (one high) and a casket of Souls, ss Catapult and plenty of bound items. Yours truly is caught with his magic pants around his ankles. One special rules was that armies set up 18 inches apart

First turn is devastating between the CoS and the two shots from the SS Catapult I lose 14 knights and some archers and Yeomen. Urgency on a unit of chariots with a Tomb Prince and I lose a PK and that unit flees.

Second turn is just as devastating with the CoS gaze on the Grail Knights/BSB unit getting a roll of 12. Poof they disappear along with more knights and the Yeomen.

Finally my turn 2 a PK unit cruches a skelly archer unit and plows into the casket behind them and then into the SS Catapult the following turn. But by then too much damage is done. My turn 4, I annihilate a unit of archers with a lance and crash into the Heirphant hiding behind it. No avail though. I finish up with 3 full units (over 5) of KotR and one half unit. Of three rounds of hierophantless rolls he loses some skellies and 3 wounds to the Scorpion. Major loss for and a tough lesson me.

In retrospect, for 250 points I should have dropped a KotR and added a Damsel with 2 Dispell scrolls into that lance and a unit of 6 KEs (or 5 with the enranntry banner)

And here's the real funny part. Guess what I other army is?
