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. Here they stood in their regiments,
ready for death. Arranged before the pyramid of their king
in ranks, icons held proudly, they were entombed alive. No
soldier flinched as the great stones were heaved into position
blocking out the light of the sun. Bravely they stood to attention
as the sand was poured into the tomb pits until the tops of
their standard poles disappeared from sight. There they remain
until the trumpet call of the Liche Priests awakens them and
they once again heed the orders of their commanders.
Skeleton Warriors may be added to your Tomb Kings army as
a Core choice.
