The Tomb Kings of "Total War: Warhammer II" show who will be ruling over the old and new worlds, as the roster of units that can crush the mortal and younger races of the Warhammer universe has been revealed.
Developer Creative Assembly has published the list in a blog post on the official website for the game. It includes the full roster of undead Egyptian-themed units. Since the Tomb Kings armies, like the Vampire Counts, are heavily reliant on the magic of their generals and lords, the most important units for the faction are the faction leaders, which can also be brought into the battlefield.
The most powerful of them all is Settra the Imperishable, who is essentially the faction leader of the Tomb Kings. He fights atop the golden Chariot of the Gods and wields the Blessed Blade of Ptra, and his skill at arms and aura of command makes him a terrifying foe for any enemy to face. Other Lords include the High Queen Khalida, famed for her speed and immunity to poison, Arkhan the Black, the most powerful necromancer for the Tomb Kings, and Grand Hierophant Khatep, who seeks to undermine and destroy Settra after being banished by him.
All four leaders will be able to command a vast army of mummified undead with a basic infantry lineup of Skeleton Warriors, Spearmen, and Archers, and the tougher Tomb Guards and Nehekhara Warriors. On the other hand, the cavalry of Tomb Kings will include Skeleton Horsemen, Chariots, and mounted Archers, and the tougher Nehekhara Horsemen.
Where the Tomb Kings really shine is with their monster and constructs units, which include the notorious Necrosphinx, Hierotitan, Khemrian Warsphinx, Tomb Scorpion, Ushabti, Carrion, Sepulchral Stalkers, and Necropolis Knights. They will also have artillery and siege units in the form of the horrifying Screaming Skull Catapult and Casket of Souls.
The Tomb Kings are now available as a downloadable content (DLC) for owners of "Total War: Warhammer II" only for the PC and is one of the developers' best content to date for the game.
