The mighty armies of the Tomb Kings, made up of regiment
after regiment of valiant soldiers, swore an oath of loyalty
before the gods to serve the king beyond death. Thus the bones
of those soldiers who perished in battle were collected from
the field of war and interred in the great tomb pits of the
king’s necropolis. Those who yet lived after their lord
had died marched as if on a victory parade to the necropolis
upon the day of the king’s entombment. Arranged before
the pyramid of their king in ranks, icons held proudly, they
were entombed alive.
There they remain until the trumpet call of the Liche Priests
awakens them and they once again heed the orders of their
commanders. Mounted on the skeletal remains of their once
proud steeds, regiments of cavalry race across the open plains
to engage their foes, while other, more lightly armoured horsemen
scout out the movements of the enemy, and harrass their flanks
Skeleton Horsemen may be added to your Tomb Kings army as
a Core choice.
