Magic armour and talismins are Unique so only 1 per army.

3 casters and no CAsket or Heirotitan? That's my biggest complaint build wise.

Your mages can't take armour......

Give your tomb king the armour of destiny so he will have a 3/2+ armour and a 4+ ward. (Not sure if chariots provide +1 to armour)

They do, but the sword he's looking at gives regen if model is fully healed.

For that sword set up I run Antarak, dragonhelm, Dawnstone, sheild. So a 3+ armour save, that's rerollable, 4+ regen after causing 1 wound if he's at full health and a 2 up vs fire. A potion or ironcurse Icon can be added depending on feeling.

Our knights are too slow and depend on magic to get them where they need. If you just take 3, try to give them EBtS. You don't have to pop up close to the enemy, and you can even move after you arrive.

Units of Knights in the open and slogging it across the board should be 4 minimum and 6 or 8 is ideal
