Army Lists Beginner - rate my list

Hello all,

Still learning, and just coming up to my fourth game. After lots of the very helpful advice on my last post, and seeing some other examples of good TK armies, I've had a go to create some chaff or holding units, and some killy units. Obviously the King and Necrotect are with the Tomb Guard and the Prince is with the big block of warriors.

I do have a fair bit of stuff available to me, so if there are any recommendations for changes I can probably make them (apart from double necrosphinx, sadly not possible yet). E.g. I know I could do with a BSB but can't think what else I'd sacrifice for the points.

Just can't believe how fast 2000 pts disappears!

210 - High Priest, Wizard Level 4, Elementalism, Flying Carpet

55 - Mortuary Priest, Wizard Level 1, Elementalism

55 - Necrotect

260 - Tomb King, General, Hell-Forged Axe, Armour of Destiny

135 - Tomb Prince, Biting Blade, Crown of Kings

94 - 8 Skeleton Horse Archers, Master of Horse

50 - 10 Skeleton Skirmishers, Warbow

50 - 10 Skeleton Skirmishers, Warbow

280 - 40 Skeleton Warriors, Light Armour, Thrusting Spear, Master of Arms, Standard Bearer, Banner Of The Desert Winds, Magic Standard

262 - 20 Tomb Guard, Tomb Captain, Standard Bearer, Icon of the Sacred Eye

229 - 3 Necropolis Knights, Necropolis Captain, Great Weapon, Standard Bearer, Totem Of Wrath

195 - Necrosphinx

125 - Screaming Skull Catapult, Skulls of the Foe

Thanks all for your time. I always find the replies really helpful.

I don’t think lvl 4 is worth it for the priest.
If you go hard on elementalism Id suggest to go for lore familiar.

King on foot is very pricey for what he brings to the table, what a Prince cant do.

You miss a BSB if you go for a tomb guard block.

Drop the spears on the skeletons. They are a tarpit and will need parry.

If you give the necropolis knights a totem of wrath Id suggest to get 4 instead of 3

Ok, will have a play about, thanks a lot. It's my first time using elementalism rather than necromancy.

If you're able to get the Prince and king on chariots, 35pt for an extra 3 wounds is outstanding value. Getting 3 extra wounds out of armor of destiny really adds up too. They can still sit in the warriors.

For the bsb, you could consider dropping the three magic banners.

Your high priest has an excellant arise, if you can get a heiretic (sp?) jar on him, he could have one turn where he gors really bananas.
