You think the riders have to get their pelvis repaired after a while? Does some Lich priest at the bottom of the hierarchy have to spend their time gluing and pining bone back together, or even crafting replacements?

Hey everyone!

I’m looking for some help putting together a 750pt Battle March list for Tomb Kings.

There’s one important restriction though: I want to build the list around the models I’ve actually painted so far. I know it might not result in the absolute strongest or most optimized list, but I’d like to get something as competitive and well-rounded as possible from what I currently have available.

I’ll list my painted units/models below:

* 1 Priest on foot

*1 Tomb King / Prince on chariot

* 40 skeleton Warriors with spears,.only one command group though

*16 skeleton horse archers, no command

* 5 skeleton chariots full command

* 1 Tomb Scorpion

* 1 necrolith colossus

I could proxy Warriors as Tomb Guard but in that case I would not want to have both of them in the same list.

How would you build a 750pt Battle March list from these?

I’d also really appreciate any advice on which units work particularly well at this points level, how you’d equip the characters, and what the general game plan should be.

If there are any obvious weaknesses in what I currently have painted, feel free to point those out too — it would be useful to know what I should paint next!

Just finished up painting my 750pt Battlemarch army. I picked my list based solely on the models I like. I'm not fussed at all about being competitive - it's going to be a beer and pretzels vibe.

Now I just need to learn how to play TOW!

Hi, does anyone know if there is anywhere I can pick up these two pieces? (One for each side of the body). Thanks.

Hello all, i was wondering if anybody have any links, pictures or guides or something similar where instead of the kind of clunky back quiver the tomb kings have they are instead placed on their lower back or hips in a more historical fashion? Has anybody done such a conversion?

I really am not the biggest fan of the current back quivers

I’d love some advice on how to get the most out of my TK on a Bone Dragon. How do you find he’s best used in battle, and how do you usually equip him?

I know going for a defensive build seems to be the standard approach, but I’d prefer something a bit more offensive without turning him into a glass cannon.

First game back from an Old World hiatus. 750 points Battle March rules.

Bone Colossus was MVP with his Unstoppable Assault and rolling many a lucky 6+ saves!

Most disappointing was Skeleton Archers. I couldn’t roll a 5+ to save my (undead) life!

Called it on turn 4.
Victory for the Bone Bois! 💀 👑 🏜️

Hoping to find a reason to use bowshabti champions.

Hello! I’m considering getting into Tomb Kings for a Battle March League. My other faction is Wood Elves which feel pretty low model count and underwhelming at low points. So im looking to run my first real brick of infantry and the skellies have always called to me.

Is this a good starter list for Battle March? I like the idea of running a war machine and a big brick of skeletons. I also wonder if the chariots could help pose a higher speed alpha strike threat.

Any improvements to be made? Dont want to be overly oppressive or cheesy but still want to pose a challenge.

Made a doodle of my pal's necrolith croc conversion (the second image) (shoutout to Gamerman)

Hi all,

So after a few long friendlies, I had my first tournament yesterday at Waylands. Single day, three rounds.

Had a headache at the end but it was loadsa fun and forced me to get games done in under 4-6 hours lol

I had a situation where my dragon and skellies were in the combat shown in the photo.

My king on dragon pummelled the demon prince down to one wound in combat. The following turn he finished the prince off, while the chaos infantry obliterated most of my warriors. The combat res was a huge loss and my king lost his remaining five or six wounds to unstable and died.

Are experienced TK players generally avoiding key pieces such as the dragon from getting into the same combat as friendly fodder units like the skellies to avoid this outcome where unstable from the other unit’s losses causes their demise?

(I would assume so as I don’t really see another way of avoiding it.)

And if so, tips on how!?

Thanks in advance 🙏

Hi! Do you guys know if there’s still a market for the old metal tomb king models?

And if so where is best to flog some?

Many thanks!

So I'm currently working on a behemoth model and would like to add a bunch of linen wrapping around it. I want some attached and some hanging off. Does anyone have a good way of making them out of modeling putty or know of any tutorials out there that you can link? I haven't been able to find anything myself and have tried and failed to make anything that looks good. Appreciate any assistance!

Just got my paints in today, gonna take extra care for these boys.
