OK, here it is. In my experience so far I have no need for king or prince and skelies are so fragile and they are only good in dying. I love magic and two lvl4 with Hierotitan are more than anyone can handle. So, what do you think?

I try to keep my mages far behind and engage hellheart with my spinx and knights. That is my plan... |

Drop the necrosphinx and get banishment up to strength 9! Reroll those 3d6 you demon scum! haha
In all seriousness ThisistheTobster raises an excellent point. I got hellhearted while running a similar coven of light, with 4 light wizards and hierophant... it was the turning point for the game as it just deleted my magic phase. I did find that having so many channels and the casket and titan pretty much gave me 12 dice every phase, which was awesome. Talking of which where on earth is your casket? You'll want those 1-3 extra power dice with all those casters, and then it makes you opponent panic; they've got to worry about dispelling the light of death as well as all your spells, so you'll always get something nasty like smiting and timewarp cast sucessfully... or a free leadership on 3D6 test -------------------- ![]() ~ "I invented double casket you know!" |

what is the better push to our magic phase, Hierotitan or casket of souls? If you only had low level mages, I would say take the hierotitan. But in this case you do have 2 high level mages who will cast most of the spells. In that case I would advise you to a casket.

Drop the stalkers for the casket. With so many casters, you want to make sure you have a solid magic phase every turn. Having a lot of channlers does help but let's face it, how often does it pan out? You need a casket and heirotitan to supplement your wizards.
As far as the hellheart goes, engage the unit containing it as quickly as possible. Tank them with a sphinx and buff the heck out of it. If you can spend a turn blasting them beforehand, so much the better. |

OK, I will try one army with Hierotitan and the other with Casket and then I will decide. I dont want to take both of them because it is overkill for my playing style.
Next in my mind is to put Hierophant in unit of 11 horsemen. What do you think abouth that? Full command! |

Overkill? I think you're well and truly past overkill with the amount of magic you're taking to begin with.
I'd much prefer my Hierophant on foot, there isn't much more he can do on a steed I don't think. Sure his movement is better but that might mean you've failed to protect him to begin with if he's taking a hit. -------------------- |

I like the list, I actually just posted one that is very close to it! I am relying on Tomb Guard more than chariots though.
I would take a Death mage in there to get some layering of the 3 different lores in there, it is fun! |

OK, you are right abouth that, but additional d3 on casting is overkill. |

I have no faith in Guard. They seem too fragile to me and I have no king or prince in my list. Death mage is OK if you have prince or king for ld9 or 10 and there is no that many PD for all of the mages. |

Counter point:
By taking a single death wizard. If you are lucky your roll Laniph or Fate and are now getting those wounds back in power dice to use at your whim again with 4 outlets? It will drop banishment by a single strength point but Str 7 is pretty good too. With a HLP thats still Ld 9 is the same unit.. -------------------- Destroy, Erase, Improve!!

Correct me if I am wrong but the HLP is leadership 8. So I am not sure how death lore be that good.

i like the list and i like the way you think TK can play !
My only suggestion is to remove both type of sphinxs Necropolis Knights are far better. The light bufs makes them unstopable and imagine how easy a sphinx can die by combat resolution or lucky 6s -.- no need to mention what knights do on sphinx with poison attacks. After over 60 games on 8th edition with Tk , and trying everythink in book (except special characters)my conclusion is : 1)Light spam 2)Necropolis Knights 3)Stalkers 4)Cascet Make the Tomb Kings competive. ofc depends on ur tactic and strategy to fill the rest army (chariots, catapelts etc) |

Thanks! I think that I will give a chance to my spinx. Models are cool and they are great if you use them with care. I like my knights and second unit is very promising in this list. What do you think abouth Necro Colossus? |

Íecrocolosus is good vs low quality infantry
zombies , skinks , slaves , but he deals problems when he face better units, his average ws , the almost absence of armor save (argh give back the 3+ !!!) make him imo on summary not so good choice , with 20points more you can add 3 Necropolis Knights , or on almost same points 3 stalkers (in case you have already Knights on your list) Hierotitan on other hand he lack fighting skils (except thunderstomb) but he can buff quite well your magic phase. Take care ! |

Necro Colossus is very interesting to me because of the Light lore. You can transform him in the killing machine. WS10 and I10 is all what you need with him. |
