I have a buddy trying to figure out his TK list.

Would you mind sharing what you've been running?

WOUNDS: 134 TOTAL POINTS: 2000 / 2000

Things this list does.

- Puts a lot of units in your formation, which is allowed to be deployed at once. This leaves only four units that have to be deployed, which makes a pretty good chance you can take or pass on first turn.

- Has lots of units and heroes, so it plays the missions in the GHB well.

- Synergy. The necrotect lets you shoot your catapult twice, gives your giants extra activation on a 4+, and helps your army speed. The priest gives you a second 6++ save within 18 inches and a dispel scroll. The king gives you exploding 6's. This + the Liche Priests spell means you explode new attacks from hits and wounds of 6.

- The skeletons are 40 attacks, hitting on 3's, wounding the Command Ability target on 3's, and are good tarpits. Don't forget it's up to you on where your ressurected models go as long as they are in coherency. So in combat, pull from the back and rezz to the front.

-They may only have 9 wounds, but Skeleton Giants are really good. They don't lose profile and can do a lot of damage with their -2 rend 3 damage swords.

It's not the hardest list, but it's a good all comer that I've enjoyed so far and can play the scenarios well with.

Thanks! I'll pass this along to him and see what he can add.

Impressive list, T-frog. Smart synergy and a good eye towards objectives, while avoiding spamming Obvious Things

- Salvage

Thanks.

It probably wouldn't stand up to an Obvious Things list, but I don't have many of those kinds of players around me thankfully. If Tomb Kings had to, they have really great opponent specific counters.


-Scorpions are great for taking out enemy wizards, banner bearers, or lynchpins that aren't super hard. Unlike most "Suddenly appears!" units, they only have to sit 6" out, and you can take them as singletons or in a unit.

-Lots of Liche Priests are great for folks who want to summon, because of the dispel scroll. Just keep them with their 5 costs summons and use the scrolls for when they finally get that Demon Prince or Terrorghiest.

- Skeletons are really good tarpits. d6 models back + a icon bearer means d6+1 return. Take the 5++ death trait and now you have a 5+. 5++. 6+ set of saves with your skellies.

- Khalida lists are still a thing. Skeleton archers core, they get double shots, bonuses to hit, and bonuses to wound based on circumstance. + the TK spell gives sixes that explode to more shots.

Tomb Kings have a couple ways of making seriously overpowered lists, props for not doing so!

Well we finished up yesterday with a 25k battle and 12 players.

We got through 3 turns of storming the chaos keep. It was a grinder with neither side able to meet their objectives as there were just so many models!

It was a grind fest though. We have some pics on the main store FB page.
