About the game
Across the arid deserts of Nehekhara, vast legions of skeletalwarriors rise from beneath the baking sands to slaughter those whotrespass into their domain. It is a lifeless realm of endlessdunes, stained red from the blood of savages and barbarians. Thisis the Land of the Dead, where mummified kings are cursed to rulein perpetual unlife. But it was not always thus.
Rise of the Tomb Kings is out now for Total War: WARHAMMER II, available in both the Vortex and Mortal Empires campaign, along with new free Skaven Legendary Lord Tretch Craventail.
There was a time when the ancient kingdom of Nehekhara stood asa crown of human civilisation; a golden age when its cities shonewith majestic splendour, its armies conquered entire nations andits kings ruled as gods among men. But this realm was razedmillennia ago by the treacherous sorcery of reviled Nagash: in astroke, the living perished and the dead rose from their tombs.
Death is no barrier to glory for the Tomb Kings however. Inunlife, they will see the empire of Nehekhara restored togreatness!
