The problem you are going to have as-is largely revolves around the fact that your general and hierophant are one and the same. So when he goes, it is almost auto-lose as your army starts crumbling on their base leadership.

Personally, I'd drop the 2nd liche priest and the carrion (this will give you almost 300 points). Then add a Tomb Prince with minimal equipment and either a large block of skeletons (or as many tomg guard as you can fit) or a unit of Chariots.

Finally, make sure you know what scenarios are going to be played. You'd pretty much auto-lose the break point scenario since you have no banners in the army.

Your list looks like you are trying to do a gunline and sadly tomb kings cant do that well.
the main problem I see is you have no solid blocks that can fight in close combat, which every enemy knows will destroy our forces. for example one of my 1000 pt tomb king lists are:

tomb herald with BSB
liche priest 2nd level
10 archers
20 warriors (standard)
3 chariots (standard)
21 tomb guard (standard)
3 necroknights (standard)
and 49 points for magic items.

@ dmshadowz - so are the 10 skellie archers just a bunker for the liche priest? it doesn't seem like they would be good for much else.
