Tomb King on Necrolith Bone Dragon: Who the Hell can slay it in The Empire?
theophanes:
Hi, Gents!
Returning slowly to TOW. First battle against Khemri. Tomb King on Necrolith Bone Dragon: is it immortal?
Thank you!
commandant:
Its a tomb kings so flaming nonsense is going to be good but what is the load out.
Minsc:
Not really, it's probably one of the easier dragons to kill, especially with the new FAQ*
(*If the TK-players wants the benefits of Armour of Ages now he's gonna have to use the Kings 6+ light armour save instead of the dragons 4+).
Without Armour of Ages it will at best have a 4+/5++/5+++ and with it will at best have a 5+/5++/5++ against shooting and 6+/5++/5+++ in close combat.
-1 to hit doesn't affect cannons or spells, and it's flammable to boot, so I'd try kill it with cannons and fire magic.
A unit of IC Knights or Demigryphs with the Flamming Banner should work as well.
Wich Hunters with the ability that grants hatred UD and Flaming to their unit seems like a good choice as well.
commandant:
4+/5++/5+++ seems likely to die to cannon shots. Against a cannon it would only have 5++/5++ and if there is some way to make a cannon flaming then it is only 5++ save. I don't know if there is a way to make a cannon flaming.
BS shooting should be quite good. Sure its -1 to hit but it is also a large target (isn't it) so +1 to hit. A witch hunter in a unit of BS shooting (say outriders) to give them flaming attacks should be good.
Flaming attacks also do more damage because of its dry as dust rule

Large Target doesn't grant +1 to hit in TOW. It only negates cover from (iirc) intervening models, making you unable to hide, and increases the command radius of generals and BSB's.
