I think he means TK cavalry.

The reasons being
Light horse can run away
and Heavy horse are low WS low strength with a medium save. not going to kill anything even on the charge so will likely crumble

I haven't played Tomb Kings but everyone seems to take Screaming Skull catapults and Scorpionos into combat. I particularly like teh "It came from below" rule for Scorps.

I suspect many a commader fighting a Tomb King army has got a nasty surprise from a pair of pincers and a poinsoned barb :)

Havent played with the bone giant before but i suspect at ws3 its not so flash. Not a terrible choice but definatly overpriced.

Tomb guard well they do exactly what they say they do on the box. Reliable. Nothing flash about them, they just do their job

Ushabti, if you can stop them getting shot they are great!
Id use them in a defensive list as they can then hide behind terrain and wait for a flank charge. My least favourite tomb king unit

never used the casket either sorry.
I know against low leadership armies with no MR (magical resistance) it would be the most effective choice you have.
But MR kills it.


Swarms are cheap and pretty versatile.
Can play them as a 45 point drop to get a better idea of what the opponenet is doing.
use 2 of them as a poor mans scorpian as they dont take up a special slot.
and pretty good for assasination roles as you can get 10 poison shots in against one small base.
All that being said they are weak, and love to die. Id give them a 7 out of 10

tk cavalry is mostly used to protect your priest with horse mount. light cavalry is best for this, haven't seen many tk lists with heavy cav.


edit: oh didn't notice this topic was so old :lol: :D Seems there are not many recent tk topics :cry:
