    Toooooooomb Kinnngsss are coming! January 23!

    Four playable Legendary Lords: Settra the Imperishable, High Queen Khalida, Grand Hierophant Khatep and Arkhan the Black. Playable in both the Eye of the Vortex and Mortal Empires campaigns. Are you ready for the best Warhammer race to arrive?

    FAQ - https://www.totalwar.com/blog/tomb-kings-announcement

    -both Vortex and ME campaigns from release
    -No Vortex, they seek the nine cursed Books of Nagash, a search culminating in an epic battle at the Black Pyramid of Nagash. Each of these books grants a unique campaign bonus, and puts the player a step further along the road to victory.
    (dont forget FLC will be Skaven LL)

    I've been waiting for the Tomb Kings since they first announced the first Warhammer TW game and they're arriving literally a few days after I move to Dublin and will be unable to access a decent gaming PC (I'm having to leave mine here until I have my own place in Dublin) for at least a couple months.
    Bloody typical haha.

    Its kinda that because people a lot on Reddit about the quality of the Beastmen and Wood Elves mini-campaign, CA has completely given up on making mini-campaigns and reckon that two extra Legendary Lords are equal in value to an entire mini-campaign.

    Depends @Caligula . If they add new quest, mechanics and basically distinguish LLs or tied them together that you have to conquer them all during search for 9 cursed books. Actually I like how they are not simply copying Vortex mechanics but invented new way...And if we add new Skaven FLC LL. That will be 5 new playable LL or new enemies for both campaigns.

    Thanks to reddit it looks like TK will be nicely spreaded around map:
    Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 


    And one important thing about old CA note about 4 LL no minicampaign - They were talking about next race (TK) not about all future races so it is really possible that next race pack will again include minicampaign. (unless they change it) I can see reasoning for that as all famous TK wars would probably require extensive rework for factions like empire to get old tribes, old Lahmia.... That minicampaign would be quite extensive probably :/

    • Main early enemies are Orc Factions (Top Knotz) controlling land north of Khemri
    • It appears that CA has allowed, for the purpose of the Tomb Kings, Multiple missions to trigger during the same turn, this is good for modding potential alone.

    Main Objectives: The Books of Nagash

    • Books are obtained by capturing certain settlements or defeating certain armies. It is not certain whether these are preset (likely) or partially randomized (unlikely).
    • In the gameplay. the following are the requirements
    • Book 1 Location: Defeat the Black Creek Raiders (looks like a rogue army) who start in Lustria.

    • Book 9 Bonus: Enables recruitment of Certain Vampire Count Units.
    • You must also take and hold the Black Pyramid, getting it to max level.

    Recruitment

    • Recruitment is fairly simple: Units have a cap which is increased by the building you recruit them from.
    • Units have no upkeep and no recruitment cost, only a unit cap.
    • Build more stuff to have access to more units.
    • Regiments of Renown are available (at least four of them anyway) right off the bat. These regiments appear to be Legions of Legend.
    • The available Regiments are:
    • The Flock of Djaf (Carrion)
    • Usirian's Legion of the Netherworld (Nehekhara Warriors)
    • Storm Riders of Khsar (Nehekhara Horsemen)
    • Venom Knights of Asaph (Necropolis Knights)
    • Skeleton Warriors and Skeleton Spearmen appear to be the only units not subject to any form of unit cap.

    The Mortuary Cult:

    • Has 6 tabs: Legions of Legend, Weapons, Armour, Enchanted Items, Talismans, and Arcane Items.
    • The legions of Legends tab lets you use Gold, Canopic Jars and the possession of certain trade goods to increase the capacity for the legions of legend.
    • You also must pay to increase your army capacity (Costs 10000 cost and 750 jars, which seems expensive).
    • The crafting is basically having access to a given trade resource plus having enough Jars.
    • Some items seem EXTREMELY powerful, but cost many jars.
    • Lots of Room to make your Lord completely overpowered with this.

    Roster Notes

    • Tier 5 Units include: Hierotitan, Necropolis Knights (Halberds)!!!, Khemrian Warspinx and Necrosphinx.
    • It is interesting that the tomb-kings have a Tier 5 cavalry option with Armour Piercing Damage, poison attacks, Bonus Versus Large and a decent armour value at 90. Their Stats are slightly lower than Demigryphs with Halberds but still, they are ing impressive.
    • Tomb Swarms are apparently in, but only as an Army Ability.

    Dynasties (research)

    • Researching Dynasties lowers your research rate each time, but is a far cheaper way of increasing your army capacity.
    • Each Dynasty contains a unique Lord who can be unlocked at the cost of Jars, a unique proclamation (factionwide buff, basically) that can be unlocked for Gold, and 6 minor techs. *Heralds can be unlocked separately and are unique followers.


    Skaven FLC hero will be really Tretch Craventail - clan Rictus. Down are my best screenshots with stats. :-)

    Tomb Kings do sound fun. However, I'm not willing to pay 1/3 of the game's price for one new faction. I'll definitely pick them up, but almost certainly in a sale.

    Strictly speaking, it's one New Race, four New Factions (as each Legendary Lord starts "with their own abilities, campaign bonuses, skill trees, quest-chains and campaign start-positions in both the Eye of the Vortex campaign and Mortal Empires." Which I guess could be said to mean eight New Factions, depending on whether you count Vortex and Mortal Empires separately.)

    A Warhammer Race represents a lot more work than a Historical Faction, hence the price.

    All the Best,

    Welsh Dragon.

    Trentch - reddit probably set on Naggarond (as he loves cold climate )

    TKs for Vortex map (Arkhan and Khatep are switched in description):

    (all 8 core LLs are starting at place with bigger coat of arms, second Druchii is hidden behind TK´s picture in Naggaroth)

    I own multiple of the campaigns only because they added to the grand campaign. I could care less about them, I have literally never played them anyway (Except for the Medieval 2 expacs). I have heard that you can unlock some extra legendary lords for completing them or something, but I haven't tried. 4 legendary lords with completely different starting positions, and a cool faction like the tomb kings makes this a buy for me, but even with 4 "factions" it is still too much for that price I think, if that is all it is either way.
