Adds 2 new faction’s to custom battles: The Tomb Kings & Followers of Nagash

The Tomb Kings:

known as the Priest Kings in their former lives are the undying rulers of Nehekhara, an ancient Human civilization that formed a great and powerful empire some two thousand five hundred years before the birth of Sigmar Heldenhammer and the founding of the Empire of Man. Out of all the unliving creatures that would claim dominion and royalty over the dead, only the Tomb Kings could truly claim such masterful and undisputed sovereignty, they who once ruled a mighty and far-flung Empire during a time when the rest of Mankind were little more than savage barbarians.

Long ago, during an ancient and forgotten age, the civilization of Nehekhara stood as the shining beacon of civilization and Human achievement; a golden age where its cities shone with a majestic splendor, its buildings crafted from magnificent marble and limestone, its armies conquering entire kindgoms from the face of the earth and their mighty rulers reigning as living Gods amongst Man. But this great realm was razed millennia ago through acts of great treachery and powerful sorcery. The living of the land had long ago perished in a single, mournful night, and in their absence, the dead stirred from their graves and claimed the land anew.

Even as their ancient civilization now lies buried beneath the sand, their once verdant plains turned to searing desert and their mighty and glorious Empire fractured and in ruin, the Tomb Kings have once more awoken from their deep sleep. Rising from their decrepit sarcophagi, the mummified rulers of Nehekhara awoke with eyes of burning balefire, their thirst for power, conquest and vengeance just as strong in death as they were even in life. They are coming to reclaim that which was rightfully theirs, their legions innumerable, rising up from the scorching sand brandishing weapons of polished bronze and priceless gold. Ancient, emotionless and spiteful to all those that had slighted them, woe and betide those that would be foolish enough to stand before their silent onslaught.

FAQ

Will this faction be available in the campaign ?
Yes, they will be a faction in the campaign that starts out in the badlands. There will be a whole scenario as well , but I don’t want to spoil it yet.

Will there be lords and heroes for the Tomb Kings ?
Yes, there will, but lords and heroes are a lot more work than normal units, so they will roll out a lot slower.

When will they be available in the campaign ?
When they are finished…..

They are not showing up in the custom battle screen!
You might have another mod installed that is incompatible with this mod so you’ll need to find the one it is and uncheck it.

The textures are broken !
Yes, currently every unit that uses wsmodels has broken textures. I have no clue what causes this ,but after the wood eleves dlc wsmodels started breaking at random, which worked perfectly fine before. So my apolagies ,but currently there is nothing I can do about it.
I think it might be PFM corrupting the textures somehow.
