is it feasible to run a TK list with almost all chariots? I mean, I know you would ave to take a Tomb King to do so. Does anyone know someone that has done this or has anyone done this. already contemplating my next army.

Yeah I did it and won a tournament against a pretty competitive group.

It's a very interesting concept for a list and requires some odd tools to help you mitigate the fact that the list tends to bog down if played improperly. When I get a few minutes I'll post the list I did really well with.

The list was something very similar to this:

1 King, Flail of skulls, chariot, crown of command
1 prince brooch of the dunes, chariot
1 Battle Standard Bearer, Banner of the hidden dead Skeleton Steed
1 Liche Priest, Steed and Jar

3 chariots banner, icon of the sacred eye (king goes here)
3 Chariots (Prince goes here)
3 chariots
14 Skeleton heavy cavHorsemen, Full Command, War-Banner
6 Light Cavalry (priest goes here and escorts heavy cav, if this unit gets shot to pieces, he jumps in with the heavy cav)
2 Swarm Bases (only included because the actual theme was an ICFB army that's fast as all hell)
4 Ushabti (no they don't suck, shut up. Use them against other ogre models, or flanking badass units.)
2 scorpions
3 Carrion
Bone Giant.

10 Skeletons with HW/Sh and a champion This is the unit that ends up buried.

Ooo, interesting list. I've been working on some options for a potential Tomb Kings list, and I like how fast everything is here. The only slow things are burrowing anyways. I guess with the Tomb King's magic hat, it's decent way of getting around relatively low incantation count.

I've always thought Ushabti seemed under-rated. They've got to be incredibly great if you get them in the flanks of something.

W/regards to your prince- assume a mundane flail? And is that supposed to be the Brooch of the Great Desert?

RZ

Arm him however you'd like, Flail and GW are both about equal. If I remember correctly I may have given him the vambraces too.

Yeah, his magic item is the brooch of the great desert

I know a lot of people don't like Ushabti because of the t4 and 5+as. They get magic'd a lot and they get shot a lot. While you can't prevent someone who is going to magic your face off, you can certainly mitigate being shot to death, by starting way out on a flank, or marching up behind terrain. In absence of any hardcore shooting Face them off against other ogre models (who they beat every time if they get the charge, and if they get charged and survive, do what you can to heal them, and they get to strike first) Or use them to get into the flank of a big cavalry unit and attack the cav models only.

This list is very much a "pick one thing and get it done in the magic phase list" which will require your prince, your King, and your Liche Priest to all be within a few inches of eachother. As the game progresses your #1 priority is to kill off your opponents dispell dice generators. You should even be willing to sacrifice the princes unit, the 2 swarm bases and the 2 tomb scorpions towards this end. (although typically one scorpion will be buried near opponents war-machines)

If you can create any sort of a dice superiority by the middle of the game, your opponent may as well throw in the towell.

Also, keep the Heavy cav on a FAAAAR flank, and bring them in. 3x5 heavy cav on the flank with a banner, warbanner, and battlestandard bearer is silly good.

The banner of the hidden dead can be used for crossfire kills, or it can be used to draw out fanatics, or it can be used to get a rear-charge support on a unit of chariots that has bogged down.

I was playing the Settra list for awhile. It's pretty nasty. He allows each of your chariot units a incantation, in addition to the ones he can cast. His army hits fast and hard. If you include tomb guard, the army can be very resilient. I also used a ton of scorpions and I can 2nd c34r34lk1ll3r's call for Ushabti cause they own. Be sure to watch out for terrain, it will jack your chariots up. Unfortunately, you can't take him until 3k points.

Additionally, I modeled his chariot with spinners.

It is a pity TK are so far into their release and are looking at new armybook in the next 12-18 months.

These lists and ideas are great.

i started O&G because of BFSP, plus they are really fun. I really like the TK fluff though. I've got almost 1800 pts of O&G with the intention of waiting for 8th and, hopefully, the balance it will bring and the new army book (haven't heard a rumor about it yet so no idea when it is coming but i figure it will come within the next 3 years)

I traded a massive TK force for DE. When I hear more rumors about a new TK book coming soon, I'll swoop on one before they get popular.
