Tomb Kings at GTs

Ben asked an interesting question. Do you still see Tomb Kings at tournaments?

I think you do and will. They are still a top notch army. There were several at the Alamo, though none of them scored in the top tiers of prizes.

Here are the drawbacks I see with them:
1. Chariot units suffer, really, really badly when they hit a str 7 character.
2. No marching.
3. No where to hide that Heirophant now. So do you put him in a unit? Easy to get to.
4. They tend to be pretty one deminsional and cookie cutter.
5. There is really only a couple paint schemes that work for them. After that you kind of stuck to make your army stand out.

Here are their advantages:
1. Very reliable
2. Magic was not hurt by the 7th ed rules and therefore got a boost.
3. A few really great magic items, like the reform standard.

I know Marcus Martin runs a very fast broken TK army that he won some GT with last year.

So yes they are still out there, but I think are pretty limited. People are learning how to deal with them on a regular bases now and know their tricks.

Good luck
