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.

Tomb Kings

Before rolling To Hit, nominate one of the Necrosphinx's attacks to be made with the Decapitating Strike ability, and roll it separately. This special Attack strikes at Strength 10 and has the Heroic Killing Blow special rule.

Decapitating Strike

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.
