Skellies, zombies and ghouls. I do not know the rules for that specific army but core are great. Also some banshees and ethereals are nice to. Only able to be hit by magic makes it so almost no one but wizards and heros can hit them.

Definitely get at least two boxes of skeletons, as the Invocation of Nehek will require you to have them. At least two necromancers would be good, along with about ten ghouls. For speediness, as otherwise you have no speed, fell bats, dire wolves, and black knights (scary things!) would be good. The black coach is ubiquitous too.

Black coach is good but all the opponent needs is a strength 7 something to destroy it...and believe me everyone will be gunning for it. My cannons will be firing at it like crazy, Kroxigors willl be chopping it...basically anything strength 7 or up will be gunning for it.

Well for starters im going to buy 2 boxs of skeletons and a lord/count and like two necromancers or a necromancer and a wight lord me thinks. Then after i have those bought, assymboled(sp) and painted ill get some ghouls and a unit of grave guard.

They all have the killing blow special ability. I'm scared of them is all. Plus they're tough and cause fear, as skeletons are wont to do.

Definitly get a unit of ethereals(actual name of unit is Spirit host get like 4 bases of them)...this unit is awesome...you dont have to buy the actual ethereal models either. My buddy uses old empire and dwarves as his ethereasl, he just paints them a ghostly color. they look awesome. He puts like 3-4 models on one base. This unit is a must though.
Seahawk, you mentioned that Grave guard get 3+ save...I thought they only had 4+ save, was it modified(kinda like the magic lists) or are you just saying in Close combat. not that it really matter i was just checking cause a normal 3+ armor save with a 2+ in HtH would be flipping awesome. That would be a unit getting shot at by my cannons for sure.

3+ in close combat, 4+ otherwise. Still. "Only a 4+" beats out the majority of units in the game.

I do not think they get bows, so I do not know why. A lot of tomb king units get WS/BS because they can use both close combat and ranged. Example: Chariot Skeletons get WS+ BS because they get to shoot and do close combat. I think GW assigns a bs for most things even if they dont get to shoot because the figure it represents possibly could shoot. I do not know now I am rambling because I am procrastinating about doing my papers. I HATE HOMEWORK AND NOTE TO ANYONE THINKING OF TAKING A HISTORY CLASS>>> DO NOT TAKE HISTORY OF ISLAM WITH GARVER BECAUSE SHE IS A BIZNATCH!!!!!!!!

Really Garver is the only bad one I have ran into, the rest are either great or just boring.
