No--it's a typo on the power. Check again. "An" is not required when referring to multiples.

Not required! It's actively wrong! Crap, I'm just not in!
I'm really surprised I never caught that - more than that, I'm surprised y family hasn't - we've all read the card, and we're normally good at catching these types of things. Damn.

~ Lazy Orang, who's derailed the thread for too long - Archers look cool!

The C3V guys will have plenty of choices as far as designing necromancers go. It should be interesting how they'll handle the tomb skeletons and the tomb skeleton archers.

[DanieLoche]

Just to remind you guys that the error about the planet of these skeletons on the basic side is still there : Valkrill instead of Toril. ^^

(and I suppose that mentionning @doe138 could be a good idea.)

I'll get on this. Sorry - busy busy and busy.

In my defense, I forgot I designed that guy. GIMP was not always the best at catching spelling errors, and I still find cards that have terrifying grammatical errors.

But, I'm glad to see someone is enjoying something I made!

Does anybody know a good site to get a decent price on these guys? I wish to buy something in the ballpark of 8 squads so that I can give some away via my battle prediction contest. I also wonder, do these guys come on bases that can work in heroscape or is rebasing necessary?

They look so fun!

Well met!

How many squads of Tomb Skeleton Archers (minimum/maximum) should one field?

Edit: 10 round limit sounds good.


Given the above, I've prepared 6 armies - 5 containing various numbers of Tomb Skeleton Archers. Which would you field?

210 Drow x 3
180 Tomb Skeleton Archers x 6
80 Estivara
75 Cormin the Dark
60 Elaria
605, 24 spaces

210 Drow x 3
140 Othkurik
120 Tomb Skeleton Archers x 4
75 Cormin the Dark
60 Elaria
605, 21 spaces

180 Greenscales x 3
150 Tomb Skeleton Archers x 5
140 Othkurik
75 Cormin the Dark
60 Elaria
605, 23 spaces

210 Drow x 3
140 Othkurik
120 Greenscales x 2
75 Cormin the Dark
60 Elaria
605, 19 spaces

150 Tomb Skeleton Archers x 5
140 Drow x 2
140 Master of the Hunt
90 Myrddin
60 Elaria
25 Chainfighter
605, 20 spaces

140 Drow x 2
140 Othkurik
120 Greenscales x 2
120 Skeleton Archers x 4
60 Elaria
25 Chainfighter
605, 24 spaces


P.S.: How many of you think so little of the Drow that, in spite of the presence of Elaria and favorable terrain, you'd replace them with Phantom Knights?

If you didn't pick up the original sculpts, some of these might work.

At first look, I thought these guys were pretty bad. But, has anyone tried Taelord with them? That actually seems like a strong combo; the base of Taelord+TombSAx4 is very likeable. Plenty of points to work with, thanks to their cheap price.

Taelord 180
TombSA x4 120
Raelin 80
Hydra 120

Taelord 180
TombSA x4 120
Zetacron 60
Eltahale 140

Taelord 180
TombSA x4 120
Omnicrons x2 200

Wouldn't shy away from adding more TombSA's either:

Taelord 180
TombSA x6 180
Omnicrons x1 100
Patrick Ferguson 40

Taelord 180
TombSA x5 150
Hydra 120
MW 50

Taelord 180
TombSA x7 210
AE 110

I like Taelord + Tomb Skeleton Archers

Also I think it's hilarious that I can't abbreviate them as TSA because of the Tagawas.

Yep, kinda weird that they happen to share that acronym. The other day I realized that I call both Quahon and Quorik Warwitch "Miss Q". Ah well.

Taelord is a good combo here that I hadn't thought of before. If you can manage to get height, that's potentially 4 attacks of 4, and for only 60 points for the two squads.

I think this is what you're looking for. They aren't the exact models. But they come pre-painted and they're availability is good. They are perfect proxies/alternates imo. In fact, maybe someone could add the link in the OP?
