Khemri – The Land of the Dead
Tomb Guardians
The hordes of the dead are terrible to behold
walking resolutely forward, bones rattling,
dry flesh creaking, and clutching ancient and
rusty weapons or those torn from the grip of
defeated enemies. How can you kill what is
already dead?
The first true human civilisation, Nehekhara
arose around the Imperial year -2500, in the
area now called the Land of the Dead. This
ancient kingdom was built along the river
valleys of northern Nehekhara. From the
earliest period of their civilisation, the
Nehekharans buried their dead in pyramid
cities in the desert outside their townships
and in the belief that the soul and spirit lived
on for as long as the body remained intact.
Their priests began to experiment with
mummification so that the body would be
preserved forever as would the soul giving
eternal life. The Mortuary Cult was formed to
study the arts of mummification and perform
the rituals of awakening. After many centuries
the priests discovered the secret and were
able to mummify and preserve the bodies of
their kings.
The king, his family, and trusted advisors were
entombed in great sarcophagi, which were
laid at the heart of the huge pyramids. As each
generation passed, larger and more elaborate
tombs were built as each king tried to out-do
his predecessor. Eventually, in the deserts
beyond each of the great cities, stood a
necropolis – a city of the dead. As the years
passed, these eerie cities grew even larger
than the towns of the people who had built
them. The tombs were guarded by titanic
statues and fortified like great keeps, built to
keep their inhabitants secure through all
eternity from those who would disturb their
graves. So vast and maze-like were these cities
that bridges and walkways were built to span
the gaps between the pyramid tops enabling
easier access for the priests who maintain
these sprawling conurbations.
The preservation of the body depended on
the wealth and status of that person; a farmer
would be buried in a small family tomb, while
the kings, their family, and trusted advisors
were entombed in great sarcophagi and huge
pyramids. Every Nehekharan was buried with
a number of items that they held dear; a rattle
from childhood or perhaps the tools
of an artisan. The more wealthy the person,
the more precious the items buried with him.
Not all mummies were once wealthy
merchants or mighty warriors; artisans were
highly regarded in the old Nehekharan
Empire. These people were the builders and
architects of the tombs. Indeed many were
entombed in the structures they had worked
on – a final reward from their patron.

Undead Special Rules
The warriors of the Tomb Kings are already
dead and are unaffected by wounds that could
daze or cripple a living warrior. Their lack of
emotion means that they look upon Ogres
and Youngbloods with equal ambivalence.
These special rules apply to all warriors in the
warband that have the special rule Undead.
Cause Fear:
All Undead warriors cause
Fear
.
Immune to Psychology:
All Undead warriors
are immune to psychology and never leave
combat.
No pain:
All Undead warriors treat a Stunned
result as Knocked Down.
May not run:
No Undead warrior may run,
but may charge as normal.
Immune to poison:
No Undead warrior is
affected by poison.
No Brain:
Skeletons are not alive, thus they
never gain experience.
Note: Tomb Lords don’t actually learn new
skills, rather they remember the skills they
knew when they were alive. Liche Priests and
Acolytes are also Undead but they have
7
Khemri – The Land of the Dead
retained a form of living mind and are capable
of learning from their experiences.
Flammable:
The Tomb Lord is as dry as
tinder and wrapped in bandages soaked in
highly flammable resins and preservatives. A
hit from a fire-based attack will cause double
the normal number of wounds on it.
Do not Drink:
Undead models do not need
food and water. However any living animals
that accompany the Mummies follow the
water rules as normal.
Home Ground:
The Tomb Guardians live in
the Necropolises and have no trouble locating
the hidden tombs in search of weapons and
armour to help them defend their homes. A
To mb Guardian warband always roll one extra
dice in the Exploration phase.
SPECIAL RULES
Mounting
– A charioteer may mount and
dismount a chariot in the same way as a
ridden steed.
Movement
– A Skeleton Chariot normally
moves at 8" and may not
run.
However, it may
double its normal move when charging.
Difficult Ground
– If a chariot moves over
difficult ground it suffers D3 Strength 4 hits. If
the chariot is charging over difficult ground, it
suffers 2D3 Strength 6 hits.
Steeds
– If one steed dies, the chariot is
reduced to half movement but may still charge
(also at half normal charge distance). However
impact hits will no longer be effective. If both
steeds die, the chariot is immobile and the
charioteer must fight on foot.
Combat
– Chariots are feared for their
devastating charges that make use of their
horrible scythed wheels that will cut down
any warriors in their path. A charioteer is
allowed to charge any enemy warrior that he
can see who is in the open, he is not forced to
charge the closest warrior. If the chariot
moves more than half its normal move, it may
make impact hits. Anyone directly in the path
of a charging chariot is permitted an Initiative
test to dodge out of the way and avoid being
hit. The charioteer must roll to hit as normal,
a successful hit causing a single wound at
Strength 4 with a -2 armour save. At the end
of the charge move, the charioteer may fight
any enemy models in base contact, as if he
had charged normally.
In combat, enemy warriors in contact may
elect to strike the chariot or its driver. If
hitting the chariot, the attacker must still
make a to hit roll against the charioteer. If in
base contact with only a Skeletal
Steed, then only the steed can be
hit.
Shooting
– A chariot is a large
target and a warrior gains +1 to
hit when shooting at a chariot.
If the chariot is hit, roll a D6 to
see where it is hit: 1-2 steed,
3-4 chariot, 5-6 charioteer.
Special Equipment
Nehekharan Javelins
These warriors throw javelins equipped with a
becket; a string wound around the javelin.
When it is thrown, the javelin spins like a
bullet increasing its accuracy.
Range:
8"
Strength:
As user
Special Rules:
+1 to hit
Asp Arrows
Made from the mummified remains of
poisonous snakes, these are guided through
the air by ancient magic.
Special Rules:
+1 to hit.
Serpent staff
The highest Liche Priests of their order carry
staffs adorned with a serpent head as their
badge of office. The staff is used with two
hands and may be used to
Parry
. However,
the Liche Priest may forgo all his normal
attacks and parries in a round to use the
power contained within the staff. A single
word of command brings the serpent to
life to attack their enemy. The staff always
attacks first in close combat and makes a
single attack with WS4 and S4.
0-1 Skeleton Chariot Cost:
200+10D6gcs
A Skeleton Chariot is made from the bones of
the dead, pulled by two Skeleton Steeds and
ridden by a member of the warband.
