Grhino's Tomb Kings on the rise!!

[grhino]

Update time!! I can finally field my spearskellies and Ushabti in useful formations:

[grhino]

Hey guys, so here's this month's update: 50x6 + 40 (command) =340 points... the large unit (could be separated into two units of four chariots) had two chariots added to it, one with a banner. The other one is unit with full command, based on the heads of the Tomb Guard. These are the King's (or prince's) personal bodyguard.

[TsukeFox]

Nice ushabiti!!

Cannot see the Tomb Guard heads on the charioteers-I see the BSB and the King/Prince with a flail.
Hope for close ups!! Very nice BSB!!

[Scythe]

Now that's a good chariot unit! No clue about the practical applications of 10-strong chariot units, but it looks awesome! Great plog, keep it up!

[grhino]

Against hordes it might work, but you do need a ranked unit in the flank as well to cancel out those ranks. But it hits like a ton of bricks with 5xD6 S5 impact hits... More practical and cost effective is a 4x2 unit though...

I Love your army! Very nice

[grhino]

Army: Tomb Kings

Unit: 6 skeleton horsemen, 10 skeleton horse archers.

Points: 6*12+10*14= 212

Total Points in the Tale: 1870+212 = 2082

HIGHS: All cavalry done for the army for now. In the (further away) future I will add more Necro Knights, but not for now or in a while... Love the regular horsecav models but they are just not very cost effective in the game. Being able to deploy a prince in them might make them worthwhile... Luckily horse archers have their uses!

LOWS: not game effective.

NEXT MONTH: WIP on first Tomb Guard, finishing the final normal skellies. I expanded the tomb guard models in my possession to 20, but this will turn to 30 or 40 before the end of the tale. Think that would make a nice big final project to round off the army!









With these models finished, all the models that were unpainted in the assembled models + existing army picture are now fully painted (and some more)! Will update that army shot when I get the time to do so!

[Toshiro]

That's quite some army you have amassed now, and that table is aces, love the pyramid!

[grhino]

Alright, so I said I would show the entire army: here it is. I do not have a better camera unfortunately. Still: you'll get the picture...

[grhino]

The largest model in the army:


The second largest at the moment:


A horde:


Another large unit:

And some others:




And the tactically most useless unit of the army:

[Zweifler]

Vast amount of skellies! impressive!

[grhino]

Okay so I have sinned. My plan was to have the army finished with the addition of the 30 tomb guard and the final few (14 hw/shield skellies). I was going over the army book the other day and realised that in fact, Necroknights are such an amazingly good unit. So I bought another three, allowing me to take units of 4 or 5 to the battlefield. The plan is, in fact, to add another three, allowing me 1x5 strong and 1x4 strong units. After that, I do need a Necrosphinx as well but that's it! No more after that! Okay, maybe another Warspinx....

[Maglok]

Ahhh knights knights knights. It is either those or TG aye.

I love your army, very nicely painted and quite complete.

[GiraffeCrab]

Very very nice. Its an awesome sight to see so many painted skellies ... makes me realise how little I actually have done so far. But yes very impressive, i am looking forward to seeing all your knights.

Also any chance to get a better pic of your knights?? ^_^
