r/tombkings

Hi! I'm starting into tomb kings, already played a few games with 1k or 2k lists with various changes and was wondering because I love the miniatures, is it more preferable to play 3 necropolis knights or 2 groups of 3? What do you think?

So its been a few months now, how are you guys loading out your tomb king on dragon post the armour of ages changes?

Greetings all, i recently acquired the tomb kings launchbox in a trade and have very limited knowledge when it comes to The Old World but I’m very interested!

What would be optimal build from said box at 500 pts to get started learning in battle march.

My assumption would be.

Mortuary Cult.

Mortuary priest on foot.

Block of skeleton warriors (10-20?)
Skeletal archers

Not certain what hammer i could build so to speak at the points level. Maybe chariots?

Thanks in advance for whatever advice you can provide!

I'm keen on trying tomb kings and love the skeletal crocodile-dragon that TK have, so I'm thinking of running 2 in a low model count/ monster mash list. I'm curious how most people equip and use them in competitive games though.

For example, in a TK grand army list, should both my king general and high priest hierophant be on dragons? Or should I have double kings on dragons and my mortuary priest hierophant be hidden in a unit in the back? And are there any common loadouts that folks can recommend?

All info appreciated!

Hi all

I was thinking about doing a mixed army from different city states, possibly under settra. Im a real sucker for lore and also i like painting variation instead of a 100 miniatures in the same colour. Does anyone know if and which states would fight under settra.

Thanks

Hiii

So I played 3 times with Khemri and each time I lost hopelessly. Im a beginner in TOW but I play a lot of 40k so I tried screening, tying up units while I get in position etc. etc. Well it didn't work. As soon as Bones Malone and the spooky boys got touched by an imperial cavalry unit or anything from vampire counts my lines crumbled instantly. (Once taking a necrosphinx with them because imo unstable rules are stupid).

So I browsed a bit here, tried looking at guides or anything. And I tried to make a workable list here.

55 - Mortuary Priest, Wizard Level 1, Elementalism

55 - Mortuary Priest, Wizard Level 1, Elementalism

105 - Mortuary Priest, Wizard Level 1, Elementalism, Scroll of Withering

165 - Royal Herald, Battle Standard Bearer, Standard of the Cursing Word

429 - Tomb King, General, Necrolith Bone Dragon, Great Weapon, Armour of Destiny

156 - 3 Sepulchral Stalkers

141 - 3 Skeleton Chariots, Master Charioteer, Standard Bearer, Musician

141 - 3 Skeleton Chariots, Master Charioteer, Standard Bearer, Musician

96 - 8 Skeleton Horse Archers, Chariot Runners

50 - 10 Skeleton Skirmishers, Warbow

50 - 10 Skeleton Skirmishers, Warbow

50 - 10 Skeleton Skirmishers, Warbow

290 - 40 Skeleton Warriors, Light Armour, Thrusting Spear, Master of Arms, Standard Bearer, War Banner, Musician, Magic Standard, Nehekharan Phalanx

70 - Tomb Scorpion

147 - 3 Ushabti, Ritual Blade

The plan is to have the chariots and the warriors crash into the enemy lines (and hopefully kill some of them with the momentum of their bones falling to fragments and going into the opponents eyes).

Soften up the line enough so the Ushabties, the scorpion and the TK have a bit of time to manouver and either work as a second wave or get to the sides.

The skirms will hood objectives and fire at enemy skirmishers.

The job of the horse archers is to be a speedbump.

Please criticize this list and help me get better because I would love to like this game but so far it only brought me misery. (I wish it was fun loosing but Im just loosing too hard)
