Hi. If I runn a death army, what are the core units?

If I have a tomb king army as death army, can I use those core units? Does thr queen turn archers into core if I am a death army?

I assume you mean Battleline.

The same units that would be Battleline in a Tomb Kings army can be Battleline in a Grand Allegiance Death army.

for archers to be battleline, you'll need to play tomb king allegiance, the rest of the tk battleline are just battleline

And if I am a TK alliance I can not have the death things, right?

Correct, as TKs have no allies.

You missunderstand. Death things stand for command abilaty and artefacts. You forgo these if a queen makes archers battlelline. Right?

If you are Tomb Kings Allegiance you do not get any of the Grand Allegiance Death artefacts or command traits.

last I read is if your alliagance doesn't have its own command traits etc. you use the grand alliagance ones

Ah, I wasnt aware of the rule. Does it apply to anything other than Command Traits? Eg relics.

You could of course use the Realm relics.

Could you exspad on this?

when your army allegiance doesn't have alligaince abilities, then you can use the once from the grand alliagance(including artifacts etc.). So in the case of tomb kings, you'll build a tomb kings army and use the grand alliance: death alligance ability, including artifacts and command trait.

*Note* you can still only use tomb king units, so unless you realy want archers as battleline, its beter to play grand alliance death, so you have more options

While your statement is ment as helpfull you have a contraductionary claim here.

"when your army allegiance doesn't have alligaince abilities, then you can use the once from the grand alliagance"

"*Note* you can still only use tomb king units, so unless you realy want archers as battleline, its beter to play grand alliance death,"

Does this mean that I can use the tomb kings alliance with a queen and archers as battlelline or not. Because your first statement says yes, but your last statement says no.

Either:

You play Death Grand Allegiance, theres no way to get Archers as Battleline but you can freely add units outside Tomb Kings to your army.

You play Tomb Kings allegiance, still get the Death GA stuff, and get Battleline Archers with a Tomb Queen, but you cant have other Death units from outside Tomb Kings.

That's the choice to make.
