Ok, so i had my first battle today with the new TKs, played robert and his Lizardmen.

Casket of Souls: 135

I deployed horribly and move even worse, i bunkered all my Priests in the bowmen unit and they got left behind when my army charged forward, as only able to really cast one augment spell on the Tomb Guard
The Tomb Guard were insane, the Necrotech special character gives the unit he joins, Frenzy and Hatred, soo, i had Frenzied Tomb Guard with Hatred, you cast the spell that gives them +1 attack and the spell to give them Killing Blow on a 5+..NASTY, they munched to pretty much everything in their way with no effort.
The Warsphinx did pretty good on its own vs a unit of cold One cavalry, the Necrosphinx didnt really see much combat.
I liked the army and i cant wait till the models are out so i can play them, i MAY use the army for the ArdBoys.
