The Tomb Kings

[EliotJamesRookwood]

What Lord would you rather use in your army for a 2000pts game, A Tomb King or Liche High Priest?
In my personal experience I would say the Tomb King just for the fact that he packs one heck of a punch in combat. Also for the stuff you can equip him with, just adding a great weapon to him gives a strength of 7 that’s killer.
But then again the Liche High Priest does have his own abilities. But they just don't serve my purpose.

I've never had a problem killing a Tomb King, they have 4 wounds and all which is nice, but Vampires are just simply better. I'd probably still say a Tomb King is what I would field, but thats mostly just so I could have a mummy attack people.

Tomb Kings are Basically a Black Orc bigboss with twice the wounds and another attack, right?

I'd say that unless you're taking a Casket, Tomb King would probably be the best bet.

True it may not always be hard to kill him, but I just love what happens if they do manage to kill him. But I always love to field him with his always loyal Tomb Guards.

In a 2000pts game I personally like to switch between games depending on my mood. Sometimes I am in the mood for some close combat goodness and go for the Tomb King. But every once in a while I like to have a change Liche High Priest. To be honest my win/loss ratio is a little better with the High Priest.

Oh and good job on your Tomb King Kenshin Kiyuraki. A little on the colourfull side isn't he.

At one time I loved them (Mainly because I didnt play often)
But after the last game I p[layed....
If your under 1000 points you lose
If you win or tied you got skill (Or the high elf player spent to much points on magic)

But from what ive delt with its a mass number army with out mass....So it leads me to this conclusion of. Unless you got a big wallet you lost
If your fighting Orks you lost (And more then likely many other things)

>_> I should just spend the 40 bucks for chariots that should work out considering I can use incantaion of summoning on them to heal them but... I dunno....My army is all ready a max mini gone wroung
But then agian I do only have 605 points

Well I am always open to advice

I have lets see....

1 Tomb prince(4+ ward save)
1 Liche Preist (4+ Ward save)

2 scarab base
10 Archers (Light armor)
10 Warriors(Bearer Musicion light amour sheild and spear)

1 Bone Giant

I dont normaly use the warriors

But to tell the truth I was thinking about using horse man with bows and charriots.

Well I reckon it is sort of usefull to have at least one unit of 20 skeletons eventhough you do not normally use them. They act as a perfect speed bump for some units allowing for your Bone Giant or Chariots(If you get them) if you get them to flank charge the unit attacking the warriors. Granted you would be then relying on the warriors lasting the first round of combat which is something a unit of 10 is unlikely to do. Also I don't know about putting your prince in a chariot cause people would target his chariot with strength 7 attacks. Which if he is wounded by them then he could be very vunerable indeed. But seeing what you got at the moment you would not have a much better unit to put him in so maybe it is worth the risk.

There is tons of ways how to paint and convert tomb kings. You just have to think longer and more carefully at what works best. But overall it is up to you on what you do and good luck with your Wood Elves army.  

[Reddemon]

Sure your stuck with colours of bone, but thing about this, before you under coat the model, use abita white or super glue on a peice of string, then attatch it to the model. Then dip it in sand or another rough texture. When you paint it, colour it like your flock, and boom, instant rising effect  

[dybo]

Between a Tomb King or a High Priest, mostly I'd say the King. He costs less points, with the right combination of items you can give him a 1+ save plus 4+ ward. A high priest really shines when you get to 3000 points, when you can take two catapults and stick the high priest on a casket between the two of them biggrin However, that costs around 700 points before items.

Against the Ogres... hm

Tiny units of light cavalry to tie them up while your blocks of 20 skeletons (don't bother with armor, they rip right through it) charge into combat. Send a scorpian or two to the characters, and keep the skeletons alive (Summoning) until the ogres either succumb to the attacks or fail to kill enough skeletons to win combat rez, and the ogres run, only to be trampled. xd
