Liche Priest (Blue Khepra)
Liche Priest (Serpent Staff, Hieractic Jar, Skeleton Steed)
3 Chariots (Full Command)
Skeleton Warriors (Spear, Shield, Light Armor, Full Command)
Skeleton Warriors (Bows, Light Armor, Full Command)
8 Heavy Skeleton Horsemen (Full Command)

I already know what I plan to buy to put my army to 3000 Points. But what now should I be doing tactics wise? I play against 5 other armies mostly (Orcs & Gobbos, Lizardmen, Empire, Dwarfs and a combined WoC, Daemons, Beasts and Chaos Dwarfs army). I Know my Skeletons won't be able to stand up to some of the stronger units.

The Orcs and Gobbos and Lizardmen armies are quite large so have several strategies. Empire are rather basic (two squads, two heros and a cannon), Dwarfs are similar to empire (three units, two heros and a cannon) and Chaos is a mixture of several armies, most notably Beastmen]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/299225/1648996.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/299225/1648996.page GMT
Liche Priest with Blue Khepra could use the cloak instead, but it's a matter of taste.

You need a prince for all games, get one. Putting him in a chariot is bonus and turns those chariots into competitive units for now.

Skeleton Heavy Horsemen need the Warbanner.

But besides that, how many points are you playing?

The Champ is always the first one healed, and can take a challenge. Being able to challenge combat centric characters is necessary in order to mitigate potential losess due to crumbling.

Musicians are almost always necessary in Rank and File models, not because of the rally rule, but because of the tiebreaker rule. it would be a real shame to lose a skeleton to crumbling simply because you tied a combat and didn't have a musician, even worse if you would have won a combat because of him.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/299225/1671798.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/299225/1671798.page GMT WoC Beasts CDs and Daemons together.

You need a prince.

As long as your opponents ok it prior to the game, you're fine, just don't expect to go to any tourneys with it.

Ranks are what do it for skeleton heavy horsemen. You'll want to go with 5x3 with the warbanner.

Some of the rumors seem to point at heavy cav being able to get ranks at 4 wide. Keep your fingers crossed. 16 heavy cav is a disgusting unit at 4x4 with a banner. In fact, my most competetive armies ran a 4x4 with a banner, and a 4x3 with a war-banner.

As of this edition Khalida is not worth it.

As of next edition, Khalida's worth will come up, but not enough to justify her over other lords I don't think.

Sure the autocast, with the new shooting rules are going to be sick, but Armies based around it just won't have the same kind of oomph.

at 420 points, you could buy 2 kings, have much better combat ability. Or 1 king and one HLP which is a scary combo.

Until the Eratta comes out for the Kings for the new edition, we're going to be in the dark on what's better.
