The 1 tombswarm didn't do too much except take out war machines my first game and then get a few extra wounds in combats. I was going to drop the casket of souls to beef up my core choices and add extra stuff to my magic items for characters (as people always save up dice for it which is good but made it ineffective and made a liche priest very vulnerable and immobile so there was 330 points of my army doing nothing most of the game).

I came down to either having 7-10 light horsemen to put a liche priest on horse with staff that does 3d6 s2 hits or 6 light horsemen with that priest and 2 tombswarms.

I guess my question is do you guys think 6 light horsemen in 3k points is enough of a unit to surive anything while having a liche priest in it? Or should I drop a tombswarm(s) to beef up the light horseman squad? And why?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/258718/1007824.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/258718/1007824.page GMT http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/258718/1008106.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/258718/1008106.page GMT ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/258718/1008417.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/258718/1008417.page GMT Thought swarms could also do nicely]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/258718/1013516.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/258718/1013516.page GMT
If the choices come down to taking some more horsemen for whatever reason or taking just unit of 1 tomb swarm, ditch the swarm in that case as just one of them isn't really that good.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/258718/1013694.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/258718/1013694.page GMT http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/258718/1016020.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/258718/1016020.page GMT
I haven't seen anyone use any type of swarm from any list since the start of 7th ed when they were made US1.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/258718/1019805.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/258718/1019805.page GMT
What makes tombswarms nice is that they cause fear and they can use the "it came from below" deployment so you can have them come up and take out warmachines or get a table quarter later in the game and so on. Kind of like skaven tunnelers.

Considering how the semifinals will have mainly demons/vc and such, tomb swarms may not be that handy to have.

So my choices I am thinking are either another catapult to make 3 catapults or just more light horsemen or a unit of chariots so 8shrug* I'll wait and see what the senarios look like.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/258718/1019945.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/258718/1019945.page GMT
