The Tomb Kings of Khemri rule the land of Nehekhara - the land of the dead. The ancient civilisation of Khemri perished long ago, until the evil sorcerer Nagash performed a great ritual which awakened the Tomb Kings and their buried armies. Nagash tried to command the Tomb Kings, but they were angry at being raised from their eternal slumber and turned against him. Since that time the Tomb Kings have fought among themselves for domination of their ancient cities and against anyone who dares to rob their tombs.

Units of Skeletons or Tomb Guard may upgrade a model to a Champion, musician or standard bearer for +10 points each.
