Help with Tomb Kings, Advice on making an army

But has a Unit Strength of 4 not making that much difference on a side charge. But is good as a combi charger. I use my scorp mostly in conjunction with my second one but when i use one I send him after (in prioty)

1. War Machine Crews
2. Small shooty units
3. Small flanking units/ knights
4. Combicharges

I'm thinking of playing with a counter-attacking army, and the LHP seems to be the best character for this kind of army. Only downside with taking him is that it does place a limit on my special choices, as my unit of chariots is no longer core. This leaves me with 3, and I was thinking about taking carrion and 2 units of Ushabti, because thats the only way I can get more heavy hitters into the army. I like the Tomb Scorpion but he just doesn't feel right for the job, mainly because he can't negate ranks. Basically I'm not sure if I should take one instead of the carrion and use ICFB to attack war machines etc. My instinct is to go for the carrion as I feel they'd be more reliable, but I've never used small units of fliers before so am not sure how effective they are. Does anyone have any opinions on this?

Yup.

4 S5. Poisoned and Killing Blow.

If that is so, then there is no reason to have 10 of them since fast cavalry doesnt benefit from ranks .

About the carrion: they will get shot at very fast. People that use warmachines usually likes to keep them alive. But they serve their purpose I belive.

Finally back after a 2 month silence (which I must apologise for- left some threads half finished...but when work calls...), just thought I'd blow the cobwebs of this post with a new idea I've had for my T.K army...anyway, here's the new list:

Queen Khalida- 420
Liche Priest- 165
Liche Priest- 165

20 Skeletons- Blessing of the Asp- 200
20 Skeletons- Blessing of the Asp- 200
20 Skeletons- Blessing of the Asp- 200
10 Skeletons- H/W, Shield- 80
10 Skeletons- H/W, Shield- 80
Tomb Scorpion- 85
Tomb Scorpion- 85
Tomb Swam- 2 Bases- 90
3 Ushabti- 195

Total I believe around 1950 as it stands. I've allocated the Liches 50 points of magic items each, but havent decided on what yet.

Basic plan for this one is to take down the enemy with a ridiculous amount of bowfire. With the Queens blessing all of the Archers have poisened arrows, and she can auto cast the Invocation of Rightous Smiting with Irresistable Force once per turn. Depending on setup this could give me 40-80 shots a turn (archers strung out in lines), hitting on 5s and auto wounding on 6s to hit.

The smaller units of 10 are there simply to get in the way of any flankers, and I intend to use the T.Ss and swarms to tunnell if necessary, and if not then use em to back up the rest of the line. The 3 Ushabti are there to sit behind the front lines and will be joined by the queen (to serve as her bodyguard).

Basic thinking is that I can take down the units that come into range with mass bowfire, or at least thin them enough so i can out number them, reform a unit of archers when something gets near and hold it in combat while the other archers fire at something else.

The Ushabti led by the Queen make a fairly hard CC unit and will be lethal on the counter charge, while the scorpions and the smaller units of skeletons (if they're still alive...or at least not dead..again..)

There's a fair bit to this army that can be changed if necessary, like dropping some archers, maybe the H/W skeletons etc. Also the Ushabti are not a must have. The only solid idea so far is for the Queen and 2 large units of archers...so I was hoping others would have an idea of what could support that better, or if anyone had seen an army led by the Queen before?

All in all it feels good to be back and annoying others with my ramblings....

Well for starters your queen is going to be shot at if shes with the ushabti. They are not 5 wide so no bonus for being in a unit. And in my experience battles aren't won with shooting but CC. THen I dont use a lot of shooting because I find it unreliable.
