	*'''Signature Spell: Khsar's Incantation of the Desert Wind: (5/10)''' This Spell is Tomb King's version of marching. It allows one friendly Undead units within 24" (all within 12" if boosted) to take a free extra move. You can't charge, but it is still useful, especially if you have many slow-foot soldiers.		*'''Signature Spell: Khsar's Incantation of the Desert Wind: (5/10)''' This Spell is Tomb King's version of marching.

	#'''Djaf's Incantation of Cursed Blades: (7/10) Augment.''' 18/36" that grants killing blow to a unit OR if the unit already has KB then it works on 5's and 6's. Fun Fact: if you cast this on chariots, their impact hits get KB, and that can get STUPID. This Spell is usually only ok, but it's handy if you're playing against many knights or other heavy armor units.		#'''Djaf's Incantation of Cursed Blades: (7/10) Augment.''' 18/36" that grants killing blow to a unit OR if the unit already has KB then it works on 5's and 6's.

This Spell is usually only ok, but it's handy if you're playing against many knights or other heavy armor units.
	#'''Neru's Incantation of Protection: (9/12) Augment.''' 18/36" Gives a unit a 5+ ward save. This is the best way to protect those poor bastard sphinxes with only a 5+ armor save and really everything else in your army.

	#'''Ptra's Incantation of Righteous Smiting: (9/12) Augment.''' 18/36" Gives a unit 1 extra attack per model (including mounts) and also multiple shots (+1) for the non-Warmachine ranged units. The Spell works on mounts, each rider of a sphinx, etc., and can dish out some pain. People claim that a unit of Bowshabti with this can become very powerful, but I have never seen it. This boosted Spell has the largest bubble range at 12". Yes, that means every friendly unit within 12" of your priest gets bonus attacks and models back. It works with the Necrolith Colossus' Giant Bow, making it potentially useful (it hits on 5's, but being able to shoot twice can help mitigate that, and if you hit both times, that can put the hurt on enemy monsters).		#'''Ptra's Incantation of Righteous Smiting: (9/12) Augment.''' 18/36" Gives a unit 1 extra attack per model (including mounts) and also multiple shots (+1) for the non-Warmachine ranged units.

	In order to make up for the lack of constitution of the standard undead, the army must contain a liche priest, who can regenerate units. Unfortunately, it is the liche priest who keeps the army alive. All friendly undead units must pass a leadership test or die each turn if killed. Due to the standard leadership of most skeletons being terrible, they'll drop like flies. Just be strategic where you place your Hierophant, and this won't be a concern, or give him a 4+ 45 point ward save.

	In this army, many defensive units exist. Archers <s>almost always</s> <s>''always''</s> almost always hit on a roll of a 5 or a 6 (with Khalida they do also on 4s).

For tanks, the army has undead constructs, which are usually just whatever random shit a liche priest could find and put together in the shape of a giant, a man-eating scorpion, or an animal-headed god. They also get a <s>sphinx(fuck yeah) </s> you must mean the god damn WARSPHINX MOTHER FUCKER, YES THIS THING IS A BULLET MAGNET, BUT THAT ~~DOESNT~~ MATTER CAUSE ITS TOUGHNESS 8, give this bad boy righteous smiting.

	*'''[[Sehenesmet]]:''' 425pts. Vizier of Quatar and master architect. Sehenesmet is a costly mix between Necrotect Liche Priest, and Hierotitan, being a Chunky level 2 monster wizard of Nehekhara with T7, W6, magic resist 2 and having the Necrotect's stone shaper with a 5+ regen. While he has a great weapon that can fire as many magical missiles as he inflicted unsaved wounds in close combat, this is at the cost of becoming I1 and thus beat out by even lizardmen and dwarfs. Instead, use him because he swaps around the entire army allotment chart by making special/rare stone constructs (Monstrous Infantry, Monstrous Cavalry, Monstrous Beasts, or Monster units) core/special while making all other core/special units into special/rare. Sure, this is a costly deal as you can no longer summon shittons of skellies, but you now have a ton of Ushabti and Stalkers to throw around like nobody's business.		*'''[[Sehenesmet]]:''' 425pts.

	*'''[[Prince Tutankhanut]]:''' Prince of Numas who decided to turn his body into solid gold and a total reference to King Tut. He's THE most protected TK with a 2+/4++ save that turns to 2+/3++ when riding a chariot. His weapons are regular Arrows of Asaph bow and an armor-ignoring halberd.		*'''[[Prince Tutankhanut]]:''' 210 pts.

	**'''Scythan Warriors:''' The biggest curiosity of Not-Tut is his ability to buy a variant of Horse Archers that lack both Arrows of Asaph and Undead. This means that you have a force of actually usable fast cavalry archers that aren't held down by the undead's general liabilities. Still, with a mediocre Ld score of 7, you must be careful with them and make sure they stay on the archery.		**'''Scythan Warriors:''' The biggest curiosity of Not-Tut is his ability to buy a variant of Horse Archers that lack both Arrows of Asaph and Undead.

	*'''[[Prince Apophas]]:''' A complete douchebag who [[Malekith\|killed the entire royal family and declared himself king, leading to a rebellion against him and a lulzy divine punishment]] of being not allowed to die until he claimed the soul of someone who's soul is equal to his own (something impossible). He's a very odd character. He appears to be an assassin, except that normally an assassin in Warhammer hides in a unit until the most appropriate time, where he's be whipped out right under the opponent's nose and wrecks a valuable unit and ASF/high Initiative and massive damage. Apophas on the other hand can never join units and only has the option to appear using EBTS. However, there is a downside as he is unable to Charge on the turn he appears, but can move, which makes the inevitable wall of lead or iron pelted his way a little easier to deal with.		*'''[[Prince Apophas]]:''' A complete douchebag who [[Malekith\|killed the entire royal family and declared himself king, leading to a rebellion against him and a lulzy divine punishment]] of being not allowed to die until he claimed the soul of someone who's soul is equal to his own (something impossible).

	**On the point of moving, Apophas can Fly, has Strider and causes Terror, allowing him to port around the battlefield at will and potentially threaten light units with Terror checks, and if that fails, he is certainly capable of dealing with any small units like Dire Wolves or Pistoliers in combat. That being said, there is not much else he can do but threaten warmachines, as his stats are pretty poor with WS4 S4 T3 W4 I1 A5. As you can see, he isn't going first against anything but Zombies and Steam Tanks, and the T3 excludes him from any combat against elite or large units, although he does have a 4+ Regeneration save to at least keep him from being killed by a stray flying rock. In addition, he has two special abilities that are quite useful in a pinch, the first being Soul Reaper, which allows Apophas to reroll failed rolls To Hit and wound against a character chosen before the game during combat (the character Apophas is there to kill in the first place), and the ability to use a S2 Breath Weapon, and deals 2d6 S2 hits to anyone within 2d6" whenever he dies.		**On the point of moving, Apophas can Fly, has Strider, and causes Terror, allowing him to port around the battlefield at will and potentially threaten light units with Terror checks, and if that fails, he is certainly capable of dealing with any small units like Dire Wolves or Pistoliers in combat.

	*'''Sepulchral Stalkers:''' Another unit designed to enter the board through EBTS. However, rather than acting as a flanker, the stalkers possess a unique offensive ability more suited for hunting heavy armor and monsters. Each stalker fire 3 S4 Armour ignoring, Killing blow shots, and using the opponents' initiative rather than their toughness to wound. This allows many monsters and heavy infantry to be wounded on 5s and even 4s with no chance of their armor saving them. Obviously, this ability is very handy for dealing with monsters, but do not forget that EBTS does not prevent you from shooting, thus allowing you to deliver the unit anywhere and set them upon anything, allowing for greater freedom of choice when using the unit. If you so wish it is possible to have your stalkers engage in close combat, and as long as the unit in question is light/facing the other way and engaged/ or half-dead, and still come out on top with a fairly healthy profile with Ws3 S4 T4 W3 I3 A3 and halberds, they cannot survive in a general brawl all by themselves, no, but it is perfectly acceptable to deliver a rear charge in order to break an enemy unit.		*'''Sepulchral Stalkers:''' Another unit designed to enter the board through EBTS.

	*'''Tomb Scorpion:''' ~~85pts~~. The Tomb scorpion has lost the crown for EBTS king and has unfortunately been relegated to a distraction role. The issue with the tomb scorpion lies in the high points cost to wounds ratio and an unreliable system to deliver several scorpions in one place to threaten the rear of a unit, a problem necropolis knights have solved by being able to field a large number in a single unit. As a result, scorpions are best used to menace warmachines or force an opponent to redirect one of his units to clear the lone monstrous beast running around behind his lines. It does not matter what unit charges the rear of another unit, and the combat bonus is still the same. That being said, the scorpion is perfectly capable of surviving one round of combat in the rear of most units with a toughness of 5 and 3 wounds, and it may even cause a few casualties itself as it possesses Ws4 S5 I3 A4 with poisoned and killing blow. Oh, and as a side point, it also has magic resistance 1, carried over from the previous edition.		*'''Tomb Scorpion:''' 75pts.

	*'''Ushabti:''' Monstrous infantry constructs with dual hand weapons, now T5. In 8th, the Ushabti were wholly overshadowed by the new Necropolis Knight. They still are here, but you can argue their use is grinding low T and low S hordes. 8pts cheaper, for losing a little armour and gaining a point of toughness and the "privilege" of buying great weapons or polearms. Can swap for S5 Longbows for free, making them mobile and defensive missile platforms. Furthermore, they gained the option to pay 3ppm for one of five aspects: killing blow, strength bonus (1), +1 movement, re-rolls 1 to hit, or MR(2). Currently can be kitted out to fill niches, but generally, a unit of 3/4 Necropolis Knights would serve you better.		*'''Ushabti:''' Monstrous infantry constructs with dual hand weapons, now T5.

	*'''[[Amanhotep the Intolerant]]:''' Ruler of Zandri who had the misfortune of being robbed multiple times and in response built up a massive tomb ship of his own. He has the basic statline of a TK character with Hatred, dual weapons that grant ASF and +1 to all Combat Resolution, and light armour that gives a 3++ ward when he's on his last wound, but his most remarkable feature is his bombardment. As he lacks any shooting, he can instead use his massive ship to fire an S7 flaming magical blast with a d6" scatter, with misfiring only blocking it for the next turn.		*'''[[Amanhotep the Intolerant]]:''' Ruler of Zandri who had the misfortune of being robbed multiple times and in response built up a massive tomb ship of his own.

	*'''[[Sehenesmet]]:''' ~~440pts~~. Vizier of Quatar and master architect. Sehenesmet is a costly mix between Necrotect Liche Priest, and Hierotitan, being a Chunky level 2 monster wizard of Nehekhara with T7, W6, magic resist 2 and having the Necrotect's stone shaper with a 5+ regen. While he has a great weapon that can fire as many magical missiles as he inflicted unsaved wounds in close combat, this is at the cost of becoming I1 and thus beat out by even lizardmen and dwarfs. Instead, use him because he swaps around the entire army allotment chart by making special/rare stone constructs (Monstrous Infantry, Monstrous Cavalry, Monstrous Beasts, or Monster units) core/special while making all other core/special units into special/rare. Sure, this is a costly deal as you can no longer summon shittons of skellies, but you now have a ton of Ushabti and Stalkers to throw around like nobody's business.		*'''[[Sehenesmet]]:''' 425pts.

	*'''[[Prince Tutankhanut]]:''' Prince of Numas who decided to turn his body into solid gold and a total reference to King Tut. He's THE most protected TK with a 2+/4++ save that turns to 2+/3++ when riding a chariot. His weapons are regular Arrows of Asaph bow and an armor-ignoring halberd.		*'''[[Prince Tutankhanut]]:''' Prince of Numas who decided to turn his body into solid gold and a total reference to King Tut.

	====Named Characters====		====Named Characters====
	*'''[[Settra the Imperishable]]:''' Sporting a magnificent beard at a godly ~~560~~ points. Settra represents the pinnacle of Tomb King's special characters, a good thing too as he was the first of the priest-kings of Khemri after years of strife between the desert tribes (in other words, the first true Tomb King). Since then, his only undefeated enemy was time itself. Supreme leader of all Tomb Kings. Settra must be the Army General, no two ways about it, and gets the expanded 18" range to Inspiring Presence alongside an 8" bubble to use My Will be Done even when inside a unit. In addition, due to being a Level 2 wizard with Lore of Nehekhara. He can also be the Hierophant if you so desire - not that this is a good idea as you'd want a Liche Priest so you can cast other spells and because you never want to put so many eggs in one basket. Even with his double curse (the second spreading weaker hits but to anyone within 2d6"). In terms of mobility, Settra must be fielded upon The Chariot of the Gods and may never be taken on foot. The chariot itself possesses a reasonable movement value of 8", four basic Skeletal Steeds (note this makes his base width 4"), a statline with five across, and Flaming and Magical applied to all of its Impact Hits. In melee, Settra shines, however, with a powerful statline of WS7 and five S6 Attacks and T5 with his unmodifiable 4+/4++ save and Magic Resist 1 to protect him, with the added benefit of his Blessed Blade of Ptra ignoring Armour Saves, giving him Flaming Attacks, and a permanent debuff of -1 To Hit in both shooting and close combat should it hit a Character or Monster.		*'''[[Settra the Imperishable]]:''' Sporting a magnificent beard at a godly 545 points.

	**Settra rolls the roles of the caster, melee DPS, and support into one package and a mobile one at that. However, all of this does come at a cost; Settra is fragile compared to some armies' special characters, only sporting Heavy Armor and mounted status to provide an Armour Save of 4+ and the 4++ Ward and Magic Resistance buffing his Ward Save to 3+ against spells. Furthermore, while his T5 will resist some of the S3/4 hits you will take, his large base size will ensure that he will receive a load of those attacks. He is an excellent and fluffy general, recommended in bigger games for his Ld and MWBD bubble, along with an ace model.		**Settra rolls the roles of the caster, melee DPS, and support into one package and a mobile one at that.

	* You can now finally replace your Hierophant with a backup if the first one happens to catch a stone thrower shot to the face. This requires having a second eligible model (a wizard using the Lore of Nehekara), but the Lore works well enough for the army that the redundancy is worth it in larger games.		* You can now finally replace your Hierophant with a backup if the first one happens to catch a stone-thrower shot to the face.
