Hi,

Can anyone recommend a 2k Tomb Kings army list?

Thanks

Welcome to Dakka Zod,

When posting in this area--you will always generate more hits and responses if you post an army list to critique, rather than asking for a complete list from users. If you are unsure of what list you may want to run and do not feel comfortable posting an example list, you can always search this forum to see how others previously suggested Tomb Kings be ran. Thanks,

Ryan

Don't have my book on me, but here's what I use (roughly)

King- Destroyer of Eternities, Potion of Toughness
Necrotect- Armor of Silvered Steel
Level 3 Priest- Earthing Rod
Level 1 Priest- Dispel Scroll
39 Tomb Guard- Halberds, Standard, Musician
3 Necropolis Knights- Entombed Beneath the Sands upgrade
19 Archers
19 Archers
30 Skeletons
30 Skeletons
6 Chariots- Banner of Swiftness, Musician
Casket of Souls
Necrosphinx

Something like that.. It was okay, I really had fun with it. Not sure on points, this may be closer to my 2500pt list but in any case that's my style of play and I like every single unit.

That Tomb King setup is absolutely amazing. +3 toughness for a round? Yes please. Heroic Killing Blow? Yes please.

He is a true hero in Warhammer, and mine has decapitated many a monster.

Hope this helped. I wish more people played Fantasy. I actually prefer it.

If you have any questions feel free to PM me or post them here and I will try to help.

Here's something that I used in a store run tournament and ended up taking 3rd place after Ogres and Vampires

Liche High Priest - 235 pts
Level 4, Earthing Rod

Liche High Priest - 235 pts
Level 4, Dispel Scroll

Tomb Prince - 154 pts
Great Weapon, Armour of Silvered Steel, Dragonbane Gem

Necrotect - 110 pts
Sword of Swift Slaying, Glittering Scales

38 Skeleton Warriors - 182 pts
Full Command

15 Skeleton Archers - 100 pts
Musician

15 Skeleton Archers - 100 pts
Musician

5 Skeleton Horsemen - 60 pts

5 Skeleton Horsemen - 60 pts

4 Necropolis Knights - 270 pts
Musician

Screaming Skull Catapult - 90 pts

Screaming Skull Catapult - 90 pts

Hierotitan - 175 pts

Casket of Souls - 135 pts

His list is really good, the Hierotitan really lets you have more control over your casting (and let you throw less dice)

Malleus list is solid, but knights preform so well especially with buffs I would also recommend a twin knight list, something along the lines of:

HLP, lvl4, Earthing Rod 235
HLP, lvl4, Dispel Scroll 235
14 Archers, Musician 94
14 Archers, Musician 94
5 Horse Archers 70
5 Horse Archers 70
5 Knights -Full Command 355
5 Knights -Full Command 355
Heirotitan 175
Casket 135
Catapult 90
Catapult 90
1998

Thats a dirty list Hargus56, although about 130 points light on core

Yeah yours too, I just need 2 boxes of warriors to make that happen.

that's great, think buying the battalion will be a good start for me. keep spending too much money on warhammer, lol.

For 2k I use

HLP L4 Dispell - 235
TP Shield AoFortune, talisman of protect -152

Archers x15 musician - 100
Archers x20 musician - 130
Warriors x40 LArmour/Spears - 270

Tomb Guard x 35 F CMD banner of undying legion - 465
Ushabti x6 F CMD weapon choice is up to you - 330

Casket of Souls - 135
Catapult - 90
Catapult - 90

1997

Sometimes i take the guard down to 19 ditch the banner and add a war sphinx, colossus or titan then add a scarab swarm(yes I know they are absolutely terrible but I like them...come on i play wood elves lol) or some more magical items Really depends on the match. But this way you wont get owned by having MSU in 8th edition and you can compete with swarm armies and have enough troops to stand against better races such as high elves and live to strike back.
