you dont really need more than 1 unit of skeleton LH they arent great as they are.i would reccomend dropping both and dropping 4 off the unit of skellies
i think it would be worth investing these points in a scc and maybe a tomb swarm(youll have 50 points left over)

btw you dont have to write all the units special rules in the army list it makes it sorta hard to read

Sorry about that Don't own a SCC yet... here is what I own to help with my planning... I plan to buy more, but this is to just get me started:

-Tomb King
-Liche Priest
-5 Chariots
-15 Light Horsemen
-25 Skellies w/ full command
-5 swarms
-2 Scoprions
-3 Ushabti

liche priest
cloak of the dunes

I'll give it a try... thanks I will probably be expanding the army, like i said, it was just a really good deal from a friend who didn't want them anymore... let me try your list at our club this week and give it a run...

What would be the benefit of a full command in a skelly group?

more to the point .. the banner and hero i can understand ... to some point .. but the hornblower ??

Well it only comes into play in the case of a drawn combat of course, but since the musician will only set you back a measly 5pts it's still very much worth having if you have a couple of points left. Even if it only comes up once in a game and your opponents unit has a musician of their own it will still pay for itself immediately because you wont lose a skellie to crumbling.

I wouldn't waste the points for music on chariots etc, but for infantry blocks that need all the CR help they can get a musician is often points well spent IMHO.

Thx Vallah, point taken ...
