Last weekend was Slanneshfest 2014, the first round of the Circle City Circuit 2014. It was a 2000 point (1k each) team tournament. My team mate and I decided to both bring Tomb Kings. His list was:
Lvl 2 Liche Priest
18 Skeleton Archers with Standard and Musican
18 Skeleton Archers with Standard and Musican
Warsphinx with Fiery Roar
Warsphinx with Fiery Roar
Hierotitan
My list was:
Lvl 2 Liche Priest with Earthing Rod
18 Skeleton Archers with Standard and Musician
5 Skeleton Horse Archers
5 Skeleton Horse Arches
Warsphinx with Fiery Roar
Warsphinx with Fiery Roar
Casket of Souls
We played three games, going 2-1. There were 10 teams in the tournament and despite winning two games we ended up in sixth place. We both learned a lot about positioning the Warssphinxes so that they could charge on turn one (the free wheel isn't all the best idea). Warsphinxes also struggle against cavalry and high armour saves. People are deathly afraid of a Casket and throw as much at it as they can to kill it. Finally, we both thought that we should have taken a dispel scroll instead of the earthing rod (it was never used).
I think the main reason we scored so low was because we forgot to get bonus objectives a lot of the time. I think we were separated from 3rd place by less than 5 points (which we could have easily gotten if we had played for the objectives a bit better. All in all, it was a lot of fun
In painting news, I finished up the Tomb Scorpion below and have one more to do. I tried to give it similar highlights to my Warsphinxes but because of the edges and lack of "muscles" it was a bit different when painting.
With the next one I am going to be less heavy with the highlights on the tail, I think those look too prominent.
