Well hello people.

Well i just recently got back into warhammer, since my wife startet Tomb Kings a while back, i kind of got hooked

So i really fell in love with the VC especially the skellies. so i recently took the dive and bought the restless dead set. and a necromancer.

I would love to pick your brains for ideas on a list but dont really know where to post it, as I have not put together a specific list yet, so if anyone could point me in the right direction, I would appreciate it.

Welcome to the forum! I hope you'll enjoy playing with your wife, and be sure not to mix up the Skeletons!

Lists go in Legions of the Damned, and a couple of points before you start:

Don't buy any psychology related abilities for you Vampires, as Tomb Kings are also Undead/

Take advantage of their slow movement (no marching ever)

Watch out for the Casket

Tarpitting Tomb Kings takes about 5 years to resolve, as both sides have lots of resurrecting chaff

More tactics can be found in the Army Specific Tactics-Tomb Kings forum

Hope this helps.

Hey there and welcome to the forum!

I am an avid Tomb King player and I would be more than happy to help you and your wife in the ways of those-that-do-not-march!

Thanks to your both for your welcome.

Vashra:
Thanks for the info. I,ll try to get to making a list. I,ll have to figure out what to buy as I only have the restless dead set, Krell and a necromancer right now. I would like my army to be primarly made of skeletons (and necromancers). So no zombies, ghouls and wampires. I was considering a Krell/Kemmler list. But I suppose thats kind of hard at 1500 points? I know this propably isn't the best way to go, but my biggest concern is having an army with a theme I like. I just want to have fun, and then the competiveness must come second.

Seneschal:
My wife could well use som help on her tomb Kings. She doesn't have a profile here, but she does on the Khemri-forum. Maybe you have a profile there too?

Welcome to the forum. If you don't know where to start you can check out my thread Sunny's Challenge under Legions of the Damned. PM Sen if he doesn't answer

Hey Aran
Welcome to the Forum !
In fact, i just started with VC, same as you, and I also bought the same box (bought it on Monday, had it all assembled and had a game on 750 points on Tuesday.) It was all bones, as that will be my theme in my ,,Army of the Barrows., so it was only the box+10 more skellies+necro...sure, not a top notch list, but it was not all that bad ^^)

My 2000 points will be something like

Masternecro, lv4
WightKing, Twohanded
WightKing, Horse and Barding, enchanted Shield
2 LV2 Necros

2x 29 Skellies
2x5 Wolves

9 Black Knights
18 Grave Guards
4 SpiritHosts

That will be my Base, then comes the fun, like the Terrorgheist, a MortisEngine, some Bat swarms, some Hexwraiths, the Skellies and the Grave Guards will be enlarged, some CairnWraiths and Banshees added.

Just about everything else in the Book is a no-go for me.

Greetings
