In a shock that’s on par with the Skaven reveal, Total War builders Creative Assembly have revealed that the Tomb Kings are coming to Total War: Warhammer II in its first DLC pack. The Egyptian-flavoured undead will launch on January 23, they usually’ve acquired a fearsome new trailer to have a good time.
The Tomb Kings had been a simple guess, however who else might be coming to Total War: Warhammer II? See the speculation in our race guide.
The trailer exhibits a foolhardy Dark Elf raiding occasion plundering a Nehekharan tomb, earlier than being slaughtered by a bunch of Ushabti (magically animated statues) and a Tomb Scorpion. A full Tomb King military then descends upon the Druchii camp, exhibiting off among the new models.
We see entire fleets of undead charioteers, flying carrion, and slithering sepulchral stalkers and Necropolis Knights. Naturally it would not be an Egyptian-themed fantasy military with out sphinxes, and the Tomb Kings have two varieties: the warsphinx – which carries a howdah of skeleton infantry – and the Necrosphinx, a winged assemble that takes a way more direct method.
The actual spotlight, although, is the Hierotitan, which you’ll see on the finish capturing magical lasers from its eyes. Hierotitans by no means acquired a mannequin within the tabletop sport – most gamers would convert one out of the older Bone Giant – so it’s very thrilling to see them realised eventually.
Furthermore, CA inform us that the Tomb Kings will launch with 4 Legendary Lords. This is a change of method from the Beastmen and Wood Elves DLC packs within the authentic sport, which acquired simply two lords and a partial military roster in return for a mini-campaign which most gamers discovered underwhelming. CA say they’re responding to that suggestions by scrapping the marketing campaign and launching with extra Lords and models, which feels like an excellent commerce to me.
Here’s a short rundown of the Tomb King Legendary Lords:
- Settra the Imperishable, the primary man from the Tomb King ebook, the Nehekharan equal of Karl Franz, and the ‘default’ Legendary Lord. He guidelines Khemri, Nehekhara’s de facto capital, and rides round in an enormous chariot. A ruthless conqueror and rampant megalomaniac in life, he famously informed Nagash himself that “Settra doesn’t serve – Settra guidelines!” and gained many new followers by way of badassitude alone.
- Queen Khalida, beloved of the Asp Goddess. Khalida had critical beef with the primary vampires, and on the tabletop, gave poisoned assaults to her archers.
- Grand Hierophant Khatep, head of the clergymen’ cult underneath Settra, who exiled him when he was resurrected as a gross mummy somewhat than an everlasting youth. Expect Khatep to be your head spellcaster.
- Arkhan the Black, right-hand man to that fellow Nagash I simply talked about. Nagash invented the magic of Necromancy and solid the super-spell that resurrected all of Nehekhara. Since the Tomb Kings had been promised that they might awaken to everlasting life – by chaps like Khatep – Nagash may be very a lot not their favorite. Accordingly, Arkhan’s marketing campaign ought to be attention-grabbing.
