Warhammer The Old World – Who are the Tomb Kings of Khemri?
We talked about, where the Bretonnians came from, and now it is time to talk about where the Tomb Kings of Khemri came from. In the early editions of Warhammer Fantasy, the undead were just generic evil, aligned with Chaos and Orcs.
You had the basic tropes, with Skeletons, Mummies, Ghouls and such. Just like you would find them in any roleplaying game bestiary. And in Warhammer Armies the undead became a play-able faction, build around a Necromantic force, that would command an army of the undead to raise and further creatures to rally around it.
Warhammer The Old World – Tomb King of Khemri High Priest on Necrolith Bone Dragon
We covered the unboxing of the already out of stock core sets on the day of the pre-order and will look into the new models, which means in case of the Tomb Kings of Khemri the High Priest or Tomb King on Necrolith Bone Dragon.
This model is currently only available as part of the starter set and will be released on January 20th.
The Necrolith Bone Dragon is spread across two large sprues, including the parts for the monster itself, along with the palanquin for the High Priest and Tomb King. In addition, you will find a large 100 by 150 mm large rectangular base for this model. It doesn't come with decals.
Warhammer The Old World – Tomb Kings of Khemri Unboxing
The second core set for Warhammer The Old World covers the Tomb Kings of Khemri, and is set for pre-order on Saturday January 6th, with a two-week pre-run for delivery on January 20th. This boxed set is a bit more expensive than the Kingdom of Bretonnia edition, with a RRP of 230 EUR / 175 GBP.
This core set will be available in English, German and French and cover a total of 93 miniatures.
Warhammer The Old World – Welcome to the new year!
On New Year's Eve Games Workshop released the definitive announcement of the Warhammer - The Old World Returning for Pre-Order on January 6th, with most likely delivery on January 20th (simultaneously to an event at Warhammer World).
The return of the Old World will be available in English, German and French.
We won't see a "regular" starter set with two armies, but core sets covering a ~1.250 points army of either Tomb Kings or Bretonnians, including the full-sized hardcover (!) rulebook, templates, dice etc. and between ~70 to ~90 miniatures per box. And a bit to my surprise quite the wave of models, ranging from the 90s to the very last years of Warhammer Fantasy Battles, during the End Times in 2015. Some items will be available exclusively through Games Workshop (the Forge World Resins, some made-to-order items and some of the gaming accessories), while the core items (core sets + books) will be available through the independent traders as well.
