The Tomb Kings have the capacity to go marauding much quicker than many other races thanks to the simple fact that your regiments cost absolutely nothing to recruit. While those foolhardy mortals seek to control the Vortex, what’s fascinating is how that is a mere sideshow for the Tomb Kings, whose sole aim is to collect five of the nine Books of Nagash and gain control of the Black Pyramid of Nagash. Woken from centuries of slumber by foolhardy explorers, the dynasties that once ruled the world have risen once more, summoning their legions back from their graves to march forth and reclaim what was once theirs. There’s no prizes for guessing what helped to inspire the creation of the Tomb Kings faction, as there’s the distinct flavour of Ancient Egypt and popular myths that surround it. It’s no surprise, then, that Rise of the Tomb Kings brings something a bit musty, rotting and mouldy to the table… in a good way! The fantasy world is chock full of races from the table top game, each with their own fully fleshed out lore, characters, motivations and unique twists. The most difficult part of adding a new faction to Total War: Warhammer is probably choosing which one comes next.
