The Tomb Kings of Khemri rule the land of Nehekhara – the land of the dead. The ancient civilization of Khemri perished long ago, until the evil sorcerer Nagash performed a great ritual which awakened the Tomb Kings and their buried armies. Nagash tried to command the Tomb Kings, but they were angry at being raised from their eternal slumber and turned against him. Since that time the Tomb Kings have fought among themselves for domination of their ancient cities and against anyone who dares to rob their tombs.

Special Rules

'And the Tomb Kings Rode to War...'

A Warhammer battle is packed with fantastic creatures and skilled warriors whose abilities are so incredible and varied that the basic rules cannot possibly cover them all. For such circumstances we have special rules – uncommon rules to govern uncommon circumstances. When a creature has an ability that breaks or bends one of the main game rules, it is often represented by a special rule. A special rule can boost a model's chances of causing damage, such as by granting poisoned weapons, or enhance its Strength. Alternatively, a special rule can improve a model's survivability, by granting it a better armour save or the ability to regrow damaged flesh. It is through the use of the special rules that Dragons breathe fire, Assassins strike with lightning speed and Giants cause bowel-loosening terror in their enemies.

The Lores of Magic

The Lore of Nehekhara

Wizards are a formidable force on the battlefield, able to wreak incredible destruction, weaken or strengthen other warriors, or summon terrible beasts to fight at their side. We’ve already covered the rules for the Magic phase – in this chapter, we’ll discuss how spells are generated, and present the eight Battle Magic spell lores.

Magic Items (and Abilities)

Treasures of the Necropolis

The Warhammer world is rich in magical artefacts and holy relics of great power. Soul-drinking swords, impenetrable suits of armour, ancient tomes of sorcerous knowledge and lost rings of incalculable might – many a war has been fought solely for the possession of such treasures and the power they bestow.

For every unsaved Wound caused by this blade to an enemy in close combat, Arkhan's unit immediately recovers a Wound for each one inflicted, as described in Resurrecting Fallen Warriors.

The Tomb Blade of Arkhan

At the end of the opponent's Magic phase, you can store up to three unused dispel dice from your pool in the Staff of Nagash. At the beginning of your next Magic phase, add these dice to your power dice pool. If Arkhan the Black is removed as a casualty before your next Magic phase, these power dice are lost.

Staff of Nagash

Whilst Arkhan the Black has the Liber Mortis his Wizard Level is increased to 5. If the Liber Mortis is ever destroyed, Arkhan the Black immediately loses a Wizard Level, and therefore must lose a randomly determined spell.

Khatep can declare that he is using the Liche Staff immediately after rolling the dice to cast a spell, even if the result indicates Irresistible Force. If Khatep uses the Liche Staff, he re-rolls all the casting dice used in the attempt. Khatep can use the Liche Staff once per turn.

The Liche Staff

One Use Only. When an enemy spell has been cast, Khatep can read this scroll instead of attempting to dispel it. The spell is cast as normal, but the caster must immediately take a Toughness test. If the test is passed, nothing happens. If the test is failed, the enemy Wizard cannot cast any more spells that turn, as he spits out a mouthful of foul-tasting insects. If the test is failed on the roll of a 6, the caster immediately suffers D3 Wounds as well, with no saves of any kind allowed.

Settra rides a scythed chariot drawn by four skeletal steeds. Its profile can be found above. Impact Hits from the Chariot of the Gods are magical attacks that have the Flaming Attacks special rule. The Chariot of the Gods has an armour save of 4+.

The Chariot of the Gods

Settra the Imperishable's My Will Be Done special rule affects all friendly Nehekharan Undead units within 6", not just the unit he has joined.

The Crown of Nehekhara

The Scarab Brooch of Usirian grants Settra the Imperishable and the Chariot of the Gods a 4+ ward save and the Magic Resistance (1) special rule.

The Scarab Brooch of Usirian

Hits from the Blessed Blade of Ptra have the Flaming Attacks special rule. Armour saves cannot be taken against Wounds caused by this weapon. In addition, a character or monster that suffers one or more unsaved Wounds from the Blessed Blade of Ptra suffers -1 to its rolls To Hit (both shooting and close combat) for the remainder of the game.
