In ancient times, before the rise of the Mortuary Cult, many
were the legends of mighty beings of immense stature walking
the land and smiting all who stood in their path. As the knowledge
and skill of the priesthood grew, they turned their talents
towards recreating a being of the size and power that the
legends spoke of, for who could face such a creation in battle?
Thus the first Bone Giants were painstakingly crafted, formed
from all manner of elements and held together by the powerful
incantations of the Liche Priests.
Made to resemble an immense warrior of Nehekhara, the Bone
Giant is armed with traditional weapons and armour on a mighty
scale. It is a rare thing to create a new Bone Giant, and
most of those that are at times seen marching to battle alongside
the Tomb Kings’ armies have been in existence for thousands
of years. If one of the constructs is destroyed, its sacred
pieces are gathered up and used to recreate it.
Outside the ancient cities of Nehekhara, Bone Giants stand
as motionless sentinels, guarding important valley entrances
and gateways. Such power is instilled in the Bone Giants that
they do not need the incantations of the Liche Priests to
prompt them into wakefulness, and will react immediately to
the presence of unwelcome strangers, striding relentlessly
towards them, smashing them into the sand with their heavy
weapons.
A Bone Giant may be included in your Tomb Kings army as a
Rare choice.
