Hi All

Myself and girlfriend are looking at attending a doubles tournament with our armies. It's 1200 points each with standard building gumpf

This is what we have come up with so far.

Tomb Kings (Me)

Liche High Priest - 200
Level 3, Earthing Rod

Tomb Prince - 154
Armour of Silvered Steel, Dragonbane Gem

38 Skeleton Warriors - 172
Musician, Standard Bearer

14 Archers - 94
Musician

14 Archers - 94
Musician

3 Necropolis Knights - 205
Musician

3 Carrion - 72

3 Carrion - 72

Casket of Souls - 135


Wood Elves (Hers)

Spellweaver - 295
Wand of Wych Elm, A Cluster of Radiants

Noble - 150
Battle Standard Bearer, Asyendi's Bane, Hail of Doom Arrow, Dragonhelm

10 Glade Guard - 148
Musician, Standard, Banner of Eternal Flame

10 Glade Guard - 126
Musician

10 Glade Guard - 126
Musician

7 Wardancers - 133
Musician

5 Waywatchers - 120

Eagle - 50

Eagle - 50


So combined we have:

124 Models
Leadership 9
+1 DD a turn
+D3 PD per turn

Drop a unit of Carrrion and add 1 more knight and a standard if you can, standards are worth it IMO it can save a wound vs instability if you lose combat.

Unfortunately, the Spellweaver cannot take A Cluster of Radiants. It's for Branchwraiths and Treemen Ancients only.

@ Oldblood, yeah I just realised that. I think that we're going to be changing the armies so that I will be taking the Dwarfs.

Spellweaver – Level 4, Lore of Life, Dispel Scroll
Noble – Battle Standard Bearer, Asyendi’s Bane, Hail of Doom Arrow, Dragonhelm
13 Glade Guard – Musician, Standard Bearer, Banner of Eternal Flame
10 Glade Guard – Musician
10 Glade Guard – Musician
6 Wardancers – Musician
6 Wardancers – Musician
Great Eagle
Great Eagle

Runesmith – Shield, Rune of Stone, Rune of Spellbreaking x 2
Thane – Master Rune of Gromril, Rune of Resistance
29 Dwarf Wariors – Great Weapons, Full Command
29 Dwarf Wariors – Great Weapons, Musician, Standard
Grudge Thrower – Rune of Accuracy, Rune of Penetration x 2, Engineer, Brace of Pistols
Grudge Thrower – Rune of Accuracy, Rune of Penetration, Rune of Burning

So we now get +1 DD for the inclusion of the Runesmith, have a Level 4 and a combined total of 3 Dispel Scrolls. Also the Waywatchers have been dropped in favour of a second unit of wardancers to help out the Dwarf blocks in combat by targetting the flanks/rear of the opposing unit as we need our units to be able to chew through enemies as soon as possible

With an alliance you have to split the dispel dice, so that +1 DD to the dwarves would be useless, as you lose the bonus +2 to dispel for allying with a wizard. So no need to give the dwarf half any DD. Keep the runesmith for the scrolls!
