I thought I might get the "dirty south" view on this list since you don't have to face it. I threw this together for a local 2999 point 3 rounder this month at a local game store. I know its a gun line, but come on it's Tomb Kings. Thought it might be fun to have a potential for 220ish poisoned shots a turn that always hit on 5's (potential that 80 are flaming) and 4 flaming SSC with SotF a turn. This is mostly for the Shock and Awe of deployment vs. actual winning. 
Khalida isn't a bad fighter and neither is the King, especially if keep the prince in the second rank of the Tomb Guard then make way with him and nullify all Enchanted, Arcane, Talisman or Runic items. (This is mainly for the annoying DE Pendant of Khaeleth that gives a reverse ward save, a local guy puts that on a Peg and flies around killing characters.) Then each Skely unit get its very own Liche Priest. This gives me the ability to cast Righteous Smiting 6 times a turn; 1 Auto cast, 2 x on a D6 and 3 x on 2D6 and , plus a Bound 5 2D6 ST 4 Magic Missile and Bound 3 Summoning.
I'd like your thoughts, criticisms, and biting sarcastic remarks.
One question would you say the Kheldia's range for her Auto Righteous Smiting is her own unit or 6" like a King? Since it says she follows the rules for a King?
2999 Pts - Tomb Kings - Khalida Army
Tomb King 270 pts - General, Flail of Skulls, Armour of Silvered Steel, Dragonbane Gem, Potion of Speed

Liche Priest 140 pts - Brooch of the Great Desert
40 Skeleton Warriors 435 pts - Full Command, Hand Weapon, Bow, Blessings of the Asp, Banner of Eternal Flame
40 Skeleton Warriors 425 pts - Full Command, Hand Weapon, Bow, Blessings of the Asp

25 Tomb Guard, 355 pts, - Full Command, Banner of the Undying Legion
2 x Screaming Skull Catapult, 110 pts - Skulls of the Foe
Total Roster Cost: 2999
Last month in the 2500 pointer I took Bugman and Strolaz with 2 units of 50 Ranger Longbeards with Great Weapons and Throwing axes. You should have seen how puzzled the players were when I placed one units and then characters and was done deploying. Then put two giant units Ranger Longbeards right in front of their deployment zone in hoard formation before the game started! 8th ed makes all the odd ball characters so much fun to play now!
