[TOW] The Big Chaos Dwarf Tactics Compendium

Tomb Kings of Khemri


There’s riches to be found in the desert which can be traded for slaves. Sometimes the dead want it back. Finders keepers, so show them the door…
What are things that were especially effective against Tomb Kings? Which things do you need to be careful of?


Strengths

Fighting undead armies is always special. First of all, the whole army is immune to psychology, causes fear and is unbreakable/unstable. This is especially sad for Chaos Dwarfs, since so many of our tactics hinge psychology. Of course, the worst thing about undead is their ability to raise fallen models back to life.

Weaknesses
Most individual models in the army are not particularly strong or tough. Their power comes from their Regeneration and ability to be raised from the dead. Both rely on their Hierophant model, and that should be the first one you kill. Unfortunately that model can be a Dragon, though.
Additionally, the army in large parts is pretty slow, since they usually cannot march.

Tactics

You need to disrupt enemy magic and kill the Hierophant asap. You cannot do much against their LD bases resurrection, so if you engage an enemy unit, make sure to overwhelm it with superior force. Every last model has to be killed, lest the unit gets brought back in the upcoming enemy turn.
