Trust in the Wizard Hat!

It adds SOOO much more depth to your Magic Phase and it really stretches your enemy magic dice thin. Even being generous and given them 6 regular dispel dice and 1 channel.. You have 6 invocations now PLUS your regular power dice. 2 of those invok's are at 2d6 and 2 more are at 3d6. You are either getting a LOT of shooting in the magic phase or you will be casting from your randomly chosen lore with near impunity. OR they will try and play their dice thin as possible and only throw one or two at your invoks, which means the odds of them knocking out their top dispeller drops a lot. AND the TK in Wizard Hat can channel power dice, unlike you priests. This build gives you 4 channels in the dispel scene as well.

I dropped cloak of the dunes because shooty TK armies tend to corner so they can reach all their units with their priests, which means you dont need flying movement anyways. I dropped a Ushabti, not because they aren't good, but because they are FAR too expensive for the good they do provide. And in your army they're going to support your Tomb Guard rather than the other way around. If it were my lists I would have also dropped the Liche High Priest and added a Tomb King with the Spear of Antharok(spelling?). It's a sick item. In melee you challenge with and accept challenges with your 2 attack killing blow TG champ. This leaves the stabby King or Prince free to hit the softer rank and files. Every wound he deals can either heal his own wounds or those of his unit, as the Inv. of Summoning, which means you revive the just defeated champion.. which means next round he absorbs the enemy challenge or forces their lord to the back rank. Nasty Cycle. Squeeze in the Scorpion Armor which lets you trade off 1 wound to absorb half of your units crumble wounds.. and you have a helluva anvil in your TG.

Oh yea. About the Tomb Scorps. Almost absolutely our best unit. Yes, it can be unlucky sometimes, but against about 10 to 15 archers, any warmachine besides a steam tank, and almost all skirmishers, it's a nightmare.

KB and Poison, T5 and 4 wounds is hard to displace. His movement of 7 means that even if he has to charge shooty things from the front due to scattering from his bury point he usually denies them stand and shoot anyways. Always take two in my opinion, so as to help counter enemy warmachines and solo casters looking to exploit you cornering up.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/338648/2330244.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/338648/2330244.page GMT Re:2500pt Tomb Kings TK builds that AREN'T bow-heavy? I know that the new fear rule is not helpful to us TK types (to say the least), but I'd like to get a little more use out of my non-shooty units if possible.

Also, any recent rumors about a new TK book?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/338648/2347662.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/338648/2347662.page GMT Re:2500pt Tomb Kings

Smite has been FAQ's to let you use supporting attacks. A horde of skeleton spearmen would throw out 40 S3 attacks with smite. That's pretty good.

If tomb king chariots move like fast cav, can they vanguard?

Being fast calv is nice but being unable to march and only doing d3 impact hits hurts a little.

There's a decent build using Settra and a Tomb Prince, 2 units of 25 Tomb Guard & some other stuff.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/338648/2349203.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/338648/2349203.page GMT Re:2500pt Tomb Kings http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/338648/2349366.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/338648/2349366.page GMT 2500pt Tomb Kings http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/338648/2351610.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/338648/2351610.page GMT
