When building a Warhammer army, the best place to begin is its respective Army book. These books are indispensable, as they not only provide you with the complete rules and army lists for your Tomb Kings army, but the books also contain guides to painting, assembling, and selecting your army – plus you'll learn the background of these long-dead kings and their unliving warriors, a story you can find nowhere else.
Warhammer Armies: Tomb Kings is one in a series of Warhammer Armies supplements. Each book in the series describes an army, its history, and its heroes in detail. Inside, you will find:
Legions
of The Tomb Kings
A complete description of all the troops that make up the armies of the Tomb
Kings.
Treasures of the Necropolis
A list of the powerful magic items and Incantations available to the Liche Priests.
Land of The Dead
Macabre tales and sinister accounts providing an insight into the nature and
background of the ancient civilisation of Nehekhara.
Lords of Nehekhara
Details of two of the most infamous rulers from the Land of the Dead: almighty
Settra, Tomb King of Khemri, and High Queen Khalida Neferher.
Painting a Tomb Kings Army
How to paint your own army, plus painting tips from our 'Eavy Metal team, and
the palettes of colours you will need to paint your skeletal regiments.
The
ancient kingdom of Nehekhara was once the greatest civilisation of Men in the
world. However, hundreds of years before the rise of Sigmar, the treachery of
the Great Necromancer, Nagash, almost destroyed and enslaved this mighty realm.
Now, after being brought back to immortal unlife by arcane magic, the Tomb Kings
of Nehekhara continue to lead their Undead armies, fighting to protect their
mighty empire from the depredations of the lesser races and expand their Undead
dominion even further.
Once you get the Army book in your hands, you'll need some troops to command and form the Core of your growing army. Next, we'll take a look at the Skeleton regimental boxed set, which is the perfect place to find your first undead recruits.
