Playing Khemi
In the last weeks I have been playing a Khemri team. The reason for this is that Azure suggested them to me in another blog as a possibly anti ClawPOMB team.
After playing them for 10 matches I think its safe for me to say that they wont be a counter. Not on TV 200+ anyways.
The reason for this is that the skelets need two skills to have the desired effect. This was posibel on my amazone team to get those block/fend or wress/fend line, but its not going to be possibly at all on a khemri team.
So, I have given up on getting the team to a high TV and playing vs the clawbombs up there. But! I am going to keep playing the team, why? well... I realized as I was playing Tarabaralla and he asked me, why Khemri? that I was having fun :) the team is a challenge to play! and my plan with it now is to make it a team that will beat up the ClawPOMB teams lurking around 160tv with that one or two powerplayer. I hope to play them and beat em up :)
So my Khemri team will be around for a while :), if anyone else feels like starting up a Khemri team I recommend you read Plasmoid playbook first, it was a great help to me.

Back in the old days I loved using Khemri. Have yet to really play one since the changeover, but they are a fun team to play. Back then, they seemed to struggle at high levels too :)

Come to the dark side. I have been telling everyone this for ages. New Khemri are the most fun ever!

Even without block or wrestle + fend, skeletons still provide good anti-clawpomber fodder.
Thick skull + regeneration...good combo - in addition, the ST 5 on the tomb guardians can be hard for the killer teams (often lack guard) to get good blocks on.
The teams to worry about are the good coaches that have 1-2 clawpombers that they use surgically - they are always the toughest teams to defeat.

I started two Khemri Box teams recently and also just finished 10 games between them. I thought they were good fun too, a real challenge, but a good practical reminder of the importance of positioning and movement.
Wish I'd seen that guide before I started!

I also recently did a Box Khemri team, 22 games; it was a blast, but I retired the team for various fluff reasons. I'll almost definitely be making a new one, but since I'm still new to most teams, I'm trying out some other things before that.

Hehe yeah 4 ST5 players and skeleton positionals, what's not to love! :D

Yay! More bones for the khemri bandwagon!
I too recently joined the Khemri ranks (thanks to freak_in_a_frock and Enigma179), and I have to say they are immensely fun, even when the other team runs rings around you (which is happening less often - boy do they teach you positioning quicksmart). Highlight so far would have to be copping 7 cas in one game (6 of them perms), and having regen fix every single one.

I still think they're ok as a clawpomb counter. At least, my skellies just seem to keep getting skills, despite my best efforts to the contrary!
