New Tomb Kings stuff: What should I get?
« on: April 29, 2011, 08:56:20 PM »
So I'm ordering the new TK stuff on Monday and I don't really know anything about them (as usual).  What units will get played heavily?  What units will not?  Is there any new model that's a "must have" in a TK army?

Thanks dudes.

Boxes:

Tomb Kings Khemrian Warsphinx/Necrosphinx
Tomb Kings Necropolis Knights
Tomb Kings Tomb Guard

I really like the Tomb Guard

but you will need LOTS of skeletons (my 50 skeletons is only enough for a 1500pt game :'( )
you'll probably want a good amount of Tomb Kings and Liche Priests too, because every army MUST have at least one of each

Horde skeletons are the way to go.  The buffs/augments they can get really make them nice.  Some people are saying for the point cost, they are not even taking TG b/c skelletons are so much cheaper.  They are using other units to be the hammer. 

Im a huge fan of the BG and the CoS.  I also like the catapult a lot. Of the new units I did buy a warsphinx and I do like the Knights as well, but Im holding off on them b/c of how points they cost.

And I forgot, the warsphinx comes with a tomb king that you can mount either on the warsphinx or on his own base

Skellies, Khemrian Warsphinx/Necrosphinx, Necropolis Knights &Tomb Guard are going to be the most popular in my opinion but everything they have will sell as long as someone is looking to play the army.
