Similarly, while he had rules, Khatep never had an official design or model, which was rectified in-game.

Creative Assembly actually collaborated with Games Workshop to come up with its official design.

Hierotitans had rules but unfortunately they never got an official miniature release from Games Workshop (and the planned one from Forgeworld was cancelled) until the Tomb Kings Trailer revealed they will finally be playable.

Ancient Tomb: Literally everything in their kingdom.

They have mummies, sphinxes, pyramids, classical Egyptian styled equipment, they worship the dead, their Weapon of Choice are Khopesh's, and they speak in classic Egyptian accents.

Ancient Egypt: The Tomb Kings are heavily inspired by this time period, mainly the New Kingdom era, but it takes some influence from other time periods.

Ancient, emotionless and spiteful to all those that have slighted them, and woe betide those that would be foolish enough to stand before their silent onslaught.

They are coming to reclaim that which was rightfully theirs, their legions innumerable, rising up from the scorching sand brandishing weapons of polished bronze and priceless gold. Rising from their decrepit sarcophagi, the mummified rulers of Nehekhara awoke with eyes of burning balefire, their thirst for power, conquest and vengeance just as strong in death as they were even in life. The living of the land had long ago perished in a single, mournful night, and in their absence, the dead stirred from their graves and claimed the land anew.Įven as their ancient civilisation now lies buried beneath the sand, their once verdant plains turned to searing desert and their mighty and glorious Empire fractured and in ruin, the Tomb Kings have once more awoken from their deep sleep. But this great realm was razed millennia ago through acts of great treachery and powerful sorcery. So if CA wanted to be cheeky, they could give her a special VC army that had Coven Thrones and maybe a skeleton specialty? They could also allow her to have a special option upon 'killing' an enemy hero or lord that allows her forces to convert them to her side.Long ago, during an ancient and forgotten age, the civilization of Nehekhara stood as the shining beacon of civilization and Human achievement a golden age where its cities shone with a majestic splendor, its buildings crafted from magnificent marble and limestone, its armies conquering entire kingdoms from the face of the earth and their mighty rulers reigning as living Gods amongst men. The two big differences for a Lahmian army are that they rely on skeletons, as they tend to wage war in a similar fashion to ancient Khemri and they can include heroes from other army lists, as the Lahmians can twist other to their will. That said, the 6th edition book, which had a section for running Bloodline specific armies prior to the Vampire Counts being converted into the Von Cartsteins, includes the rules for running a Lahmian army. She's talked about plenty, sure, but she hasn't been 'in' the army books for a LONG time (if she ever was). If Neferata was ever a lord in a Vampire Count Army book, it was prior to 6th edition. She would play more like High Elves with their intrigue mechanic as her network of spies and infiltrators is legendary.ĮDIT: I'm just saying that there's a chance to mix it up here a bit and I would find it disappointing if they didn't take the opportunity to do so. Well factions got split up in game 2 so there is no reason to copy/paste her faction mechanics form VC. Talking about army book (and therefore also ingame faction templates)

Lahmian Vampires have always been their own faction. In that regard i was reffering tot he 'She is not part of the Vampire Counts'Īnd iirc she used to be part of them before GWs decided to make the VC basically vC Morathi has the same units as Malekith but the campaign play has it's own flavor.

her units would most likely be the same anyway 2K A Total War Saga: Thrones of BritanniaĮxcept that Neferata is not a part of the Vampire Counts and I'm gonna be super disappointed if they don't giver her faction it's own flavor.846 A Total War Saga: Fall of the Samurai.
