This list i a tweaked version of a list that I played monday against Jacobs Orc's.
Even though I lost the game, not due to bad luck (I didn't have any of that then and he had plenty) but because of my Sphinxes falling apart and my Tomb King biting over a bigger chunk of Orcs than he could swallow. But I really liked the feel of the list.
I didn't have 2 x 20 archers during that game, and I really feel like the other batch could have made a huge difference. There where several instances where I really needed the extra 20/40 shots. Especially against his trolls.
However, my Hierotitan and my warmachines "survived" the entire game (can you survive when you aren't technically alive?) as did Khatep and the other 2 Liches.
The general idea with the list is to keep the army moving in a formation like this:
Basically my king and his two sphinxes will just march (well, walk) onwards with the rest of the army like this behind them.
The great thing about this setup is that the Hierotitan is within 12" of all my casters, who are placed with a light wizard in each archer unit and the Hierophant in the middle with the warriors. Also I can easily move my wizards around if need be.
The skull catapults will obviously stay behind, but hopefully the massive archer fire will take out all of the opponents warmachine hunters ... what am I talking about, he plays vampire counts, he doesn't have any warmachine hunters.
The casket of souls might as well walk with the rest of the army, depends on what he fields and how far back he holds it. Otherwise it gives great protection from wolves and the likes with low leadership and few wounds.
Notice the very small unit of chariots? Well, I figured that it would be a good place to place my king, even though he doesn't get any look out sir from the small unit, but considering that VC can't shoot at all I'm not to worried, he is most likely going to die (again), but it's okay, as long as he does some damage with his 5 str 5 attacks.
I didn't spam light, but I feel like I brought enough of it to be able to put some real hurt on his smaller units, like wraiths, Varghulf and even bats if he bring them. I will have 3 x 2D6 str 4(6) hits with Shem's each turn, that he can try to stop. Other than that the entire lore of Nehekhara gives me a lot of possibilities and a lot of healing if I want it. Khatep's ability to reroll a casting attempt once per turn is awesome, it's very rare indeed that he miscasts and normally he gets his spells through with only 2 or 3 dice (plus D3 from hierotitan).
All in all I feel really good about this list, I think it will perform very well against the hated vampires.
Obviously I will update tomorrow when the fog of battle is lifted and only one victor stands tall
TO BATTLE!
