tomb guard are going to be a points sink and catapults would force me into a defensive position. I do not own scorpions.

My instinct is that you'll have problems. Simply not enough incantations to get the army to support itself. If you have to march after someone, even if every incantation goes off (the won't) you'll only be able to advance 4 units faster than a walk. Ragnar4 might have a different opinion, but I think it will run into issues, which is too bad, because I think it would look pretty cool.

Yeah... That list would do much better transfered over to VC IMO...

that list would just piss off the opponent. 100 skellies not breaking means a really boring game. slowly killing all those skeletons. wow. that's besides the point because that list will not win for gak against a good player. no offense.

Youll definitely get outnumbering. lol

You need more heavy hitters, youll be surviving for a while, but won't be doing any damage and probably won't be killing much. 20 men sounds good, but remember that only 5 in the front rank get to attack, and thats after you lose a few which brings you down to probably 0 attacks back (whatever gets killed subtracts from you total attacks back from that unit).

Basically you'll just be slowly wittled down to nothing.

So I would suggest taking out a few units of those skellies. and putting in more chariots, maybe more ushabti, maybe a bone giant its your choice. Another overlooked option is carrion.

see, I wanted to break away frm the mold. i've switched the list up to be 3 units of 30 with a 20 man TG unit. then i submitted the list. we'll see how it goes.

Please let us know. I'm absolutely all for breaking the mold with armies, so if you can get it to work tell us about it.

RZ

I'm with Zeke here. I love the fact that you broke the mold, but you're really going to struggle with a slooooooooooow battle line that never seems to get to grips with the opponent.

This is one of the few lists where I openly suggest that you go with the banner of the hidden dead so that you can rear someone who's grinding on one of your skeletons units.

Also, how much do you love your character load outs?

3 princes with a magical weapon each and a high liche priest would probably give you a much more stalwart line of skeletons in case he ever did get to grips.
