Hey, I am planning to start a Tomb Kings army, as i am getting bored of my Skaven. Are there any suggestions on how to start, or must haves in a Tomb King army? I wanted to pick up my first load of Kings in a week or so, as i want to get paintign! :D
Hope you guys have some ideas.
still too new of a army >_> noone here got that much exp so we plan to look at you for exp :P
All i know is that from when i had an interest when they first came out is you want to have mainly archers. and maybe some cavalry archers
Their archers are good because of a combination of things:
-moving and distance doesn't affect your BS
-there's an augment spell in the TK lore that provides multiple shot (2), and BS is still not affected.
So a unit of 20 archers moves and shoots 40 shots at 24" without any penalty.
IMO their best unit is casket of souls and regular warriors, both are just amazing.
Overall one of the best army book I've played so far, if not the best. It's got fluff, it's got style and great looking units to go with it.
The only downside is that you need to pay attention to pick your fights or your army will be torn apart quite fast. Once they go downhill it's difficult to change the result of the game.
Oh, i see, I love the casket because of it´s light of death and the extra power dice. For the archers i also love the multiple shots rule, asit proved quite usefull against the large regiments of night goblins :)
