I have a game against Tomb Kings Next week and am doing a bit of research. Can The Casket Of Souls when opened effect Daemons?

Thanks

Pretty sure nothing in the game can prevent the casket from hitting you (unless you dispell it)]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/293244/1548110.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/293244/1548110.page GMT Re:Casket Of Souls

I tried that.

"Casket cast on an 11"

"All my units close their eyes"

"uh, no"]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/293244/1550947.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/293244/1550947.page GMT Casket Of Souls

Also a lot of players will just run away with their priest and let the thing crumble so you dont get the points for the priest.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/293244/1558120.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/293244/1558120.page GMT Re:Casket Of Souls

Run and hide. Bury yourself in the sand and pretend like it isn't there. Or Simply don't show up to the battle. It can't kill your models if you refuse to play!

Or you could use one unit to block the Caskets LOS to the rest of your army... Light cav are brilliant for this, as are Skirmishers.

If your opponent is a smart player, he may have it on a hill with archers in front. You'll have to selectively charge the archers, and then overrun into the casket.

As a thinking player you have to design a 2 to 3 turn plan to get up there and deal with it. Here's the trick, though: You have to create a plan to go after it, and you also have to create a counter plan if he tries to stop you. Most of the best TK players will try to use their superior movement to do it. If he's going to sacrifice 500 points of chariots to kill your 200 points worth of "casket killers" and you can predict what he's going to do, you should have the upper hand. Always move with a plan, and ask yourself.. How would I counter this if I had 2 movement phases, THEN set yourself up for a 3rd soft counter. Now your TK opponent is in an untenable position. Either give you the caskett andl lose 300 points OR risk losing that unit to a soft counter.

Tomb Kigns opponents are notorious for only thinking one turn ahead of their opponent and stopping there. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/293244/1558509.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/293244/1558509.page GMT Casket Of Souls http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/293244/1558678.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/293244/1558678.page GMT Casket Of Souls http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/293244/1558757.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/293244/1558757.page GMT Casket Of Souls

What?

So you're telling me you're just going to allow your opponent all of the movement he wants in order to lock down the casket?

Or are you telling me you're going to use all of your powerdice to lock him down and stop his bound 3, 1d6, 2d6, 2d6, bound 4, 3d6, 3d6 (Possible 3d6), 2d6 (this one is the casket) casting order? That's 15 (18) DD on a 1 for one basis!

He got some Flamers at that tournament. To start a good army. Poor Orcs and Goblins...]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/293244/1559434.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/293244/1559434.page GMT Casket Of Souls No, as I play TK, my opponents like to see my face when not one of my incantations goes off. I would stop all the movement as possible, and two dispel scrolls just to shut down the casket in the first two vulnerable turns. Maybe it is just me, but people seem to be taking a lot of dispel dice and scrolls whenever I seem to play.
I do enjoy using the casket though.
