Reliance on Magic and augments for army synergy to move and heal, lots of giant monsters and monstrous cavalry, big blocks of now cheaper Skeletons.<br /><br />The Necrosphynx is the Big Daddy. Toughness 8, 5 Wounds, Fly, 4-5 attacks but 1 can be made at strength 10 with Heroic Killing Blow. HKB means if it rolls a 6 to wound, it ignores armor, regen, and kills outright no matter how many wounds (like 40k instant death). It is one of only 2 things in the game that have the ability.<br /><br />The Tomb Sphynx mounts have poison attacks, have killing blow attacks from riders, and can exchange their attacks for a Thundercrush that places a small strength 5 template over the enemy unit. It has the same S, T, W as the big monster, but is the infantry killer rather than monster killer.<br /><br />Tomb King magic now works like the regualar magic system, rather than their own unique set. Their main caster MUST take the TK lore but others have access to Light and Death. The signature spell moves units as if they had moved in the movement phase, which is very important because Tomb King armies cannot march. The lore attribute also heals D3+1 wounds per unit effected by any TK augment.<br /><br />They now have access to better magic, rulebook lore magic, great Tomb Guard that share the Tomb King's WS if he is in the unit, cheaper Skeletons, monsters, monstrous cav, and flaming war machines. I think the Tomb Kings will have everything they need to be competitive in 8th Edition.Rhellionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12727373774177135065noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4101762574768178801.post-12008687020711916312011-04-10T21:52:39.926-04:002011-04-10T21:52:39.926-04:00Yeah, no interest in a T-Wolf for T-sons (just see...Yeah, no interest in a T-Wolf for T-sons (just seems wrong anyway), but I do like the oblit idea!TJ Atwellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01304177224607153451noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4101762574768178801.post-72298143374159670182011-04-10T17:47:37.213-04:002011-04-10T17:47:37.213-04:00They're really awesome models.
