Army Special Rules

This section describes all the different units used in a Tomb Kings army, along with the rules necessary to use them in your games of Warhammer. Where a model has a special rule that is explained in the Warhammer rulebook, only the name of that rule is given. If a model has a special rule that is unique to it, that rule is detailed alongside its description. However, there are a number of commonly recurring 'army special rules' that apply to several Tomb Kings units, and these are detailed below.

All units with the Undead special rule have the Animated Construct, Fear, and Unstable special rules. However, they may make march moves if they are, or are joined by, a character with the My Will Be Done or Sworn Bodyguard special rule.

Your army must include at least one Wizard to be the army's Hierophant. If your army includes several Wizards, this will be the one with the highest Wizard Level. If two or more models have the highest Wizard Level, choose which of them will be the Hierophant. Remember to tell your opponent which one is the Hierophant at the start of the battle. The Hierophant must use the Lore of Nehekhara.

The Hierophant uses his powers to bind the souls of the dead to the mortal realm and restore the bodies of fallen warriors. The Hierophant, and all models in the same unit, have the Regeneration (6+) special rule.

If the Hierophant is destroyed, the magical animus of the army starts to dissipate. At the end of the phase in which the Hierophant is removed as a casualty, and at the start of every friendly turn thereafter, all friendly Undead units (except characters) on the battlefield must take a Leadership test. If the test is failed, the unit immediately suffers a number of Wounds equal to the amount by which it failed the Leadership test, with no saves of any kind allowed. These Wounds are distributed as if from a shooting attack.

If, at the start of any of your turns following the death of the Hierophant, there is one or more friendly Wizard Characters on the table who know spells from the Lore of Nehekhara, then one of these models may be designated the new Hierophant by passing a Leadership test. If passed, he becomes the new Hierophant following all the normal rules, and no unit in the army needs to take the Leadership test to avoid losing Wounds while he remains alive.

In addition to the normal rules for the army battle standard, units of Undead within 12" of their battle standard suffer D3 Wounds less than they normally would due to the Unstable special rule, or following the death of the army's Hierophant.

Some magic spells and items can restore lost Wounds and even resurrect fallen warriors in an Undead (including Tomb Kings) unit. Wounds regained in this way follow a strict order.

First, the musician is resurrected, and then the standard bearer, displacing rank-and-file models as required. Then rank-and-file models with multiple Wounds (including command figures) are healed to their starting value. Resurrected command models displace rank and file models as required. Finally, any remaining Wounds resurrect rank-and-file models. In the case of multiple-Wound rank-and-file models, the first resurrected models must be fully healed before another can be resurrected.

Resurrected models are added to the front rank until it reaches at least a full rank – additional models can then be added to the front or rear rank. Raised models may never displace enemy units; if there is not enough room, any excess models are wasted. Similarly, if you do not have enough models of the appropriate type, place as many as you can – the rest are wasted.

A unit cannot be taken beyond its starting size unless specified, and no single model can ever exceed its starting Wounds value. Any characters in the unit can only be healed if targeted separately from the rest of the unit, in which case only they are healed.

Units with the Arrows of Asaph special rule never count any bonuses or penalties to hit when shooting, regardless of the source of the modifier.

A unit with this ability has the Ambushers special rule, with the following exceptions.

When these units enter the battle in the Remaining Moves sub-phase, they do not move onto the board as reinforcements in the normal way. Instead, when a unit that is Entombed Beneath the Sands enters the battle, place a small marker (such as a coin) anywhere on the battlefield, but not in impassable terrain or within 1" of a deployed unit.

Roll a scatter dice and an artillery dice. If you roll a Hit on the scatter dice, the marker stays in place. If you roll an arrow, move the marker the number, in inches, indicated by the artillery dice in the direction shown. If the marker is under a friendly unit, impassable terrain or a building, place it 1" away from the closest edge of the unit/terrain.

Once the final position of the marker is established, place the emerging unit in a legal formation such that it touches the marker, facing any direction. If the marker is under an enemy unit, you may place your unit into base contact with the enemy unit in their front arc; your unit will counts as charging this turn.

If you roll a misfire, or if for any reason some of the models in the unit cannot be placed, then the unit does not emerge. Instead, remove the marker and roll on the Mishap table. If a unit emerges successfully, it may act normally this turn.

Only characters that have the Entombed Beneath the Sands special rule can be deployed within such units. If you have several units Entombed Beneath the Sands, then repeat this process, one unit at a time.

    • Khemrian Warsphinx (replacing the crew, see Rare Units for options)( 225 pts)

  • May take magic items up to a total of 100 pts

The Curse, Flammable, My Will Be Done, Undead

If a model with the Curse rule is removed from play, then the enemy unit responsible – by inflicting the final wound, for example – will immediately suffer D6 Strength 5 hits (if the model was a Lord) or D6 Strength 4 hits (if the model was a Hero). These Wounds are distributed as for shooting hits.

In close combat, any Wounds inflicted count towards the combat result. If more than one unit is responsible for the destruction of the model with the Curse (it is destroyed by the combat result in a multiple combat due to its Unstable rule, for example), then all guilty units are affected. If the model is killed in a challenge, then only his opponent is cursed, and not the whole enemy unit.

Any unit of Undead accompanied by a model with this rule uses the character's unmodified Weapon Skill in place of its own (use the highest Weapon Skill if the unit is joined by several characters with this rule).

If all characters with the My Will Be Done rule in the unit are killed, the unit immediately reverts to using its own Weapon Skill. This special rule has no effect on mounts or any other characters except Tomb Heralds – these always use their own Weapon Skill.

Flammable, Sworn Bodyguard, Tomb Blades, Undead

If you have any Characters with the My Will Be Done special rule in your army, you must nominate one of them for the Tomb Herald to protect at the start of the game. The same character may not be nominated by several Tomb Heralds – the oath is a sacred one between a master and his chosen champion. Whenever the nominated character suffers a Wound (before saves are taken) and the Tomb Herald is in the same unit as him, roll a D6. On a 1, the Wound is resolved as normal, but on a 2+ the Wound is intercepted, and re-allocated to the Tomb Herald. No more than one Wound can be re-allocated to each Tomb Herald in each phase. Wounds in a challenge can't be re-allocated – it is a duel of honour, and the Tomb Herald may not interfere.

Models with this special rule have the Killing Blow and Magical Attacks special rules.

A unit of Bastethi is considered to be a Level 2 Wizard that knows the spells Djaf's Incantation of Cursed Blades and Ptra's Incantation of Righteous Smiting from the Lore of Nehekhara. This doesn't stop other Wizards from knowing those same spells. The unit receives an additional +1 to cast for each rank of 5 or more models in the unit, after the first, to a maximum of +3. Each time the unit casts a spell, you must nominate one Bastethi as the caster for the purposes of line of sight, range, etc. In the event that a Bastethi unit rolls a miscast, do not roll on the Miscast Table. Instead, the unit suffers D3 Wounds which Ignores Armour Saves. If the unit is targeted by a rule that affects a Wizard, your opponent must choose one Bastethi as the target.

If the Khemric Titan is slain by any means, all enemy units within 6" from suffer 2D6 Strength 2 hits which Ignores Armour Saves.

In order to determine what happens, each Close Combat phase that the Khemric Titan is in combat, pick a single unit in base contact and roll a D6 on the table below:

D6

Result

1-2

Reaping Blades: The Khemric Titan lashes out with its massive scythe-bladed forelimbs, cutting through the enemies like a sickle through ripe wheat.

The Khemric Titan inflicts D6 Strength 6 hits on the enemy unit.

3

Flesh-eating Scarabs: The Khemric Titan unleashes a swarms of flesh-eating scarabs from its jaws. These are capable of striping the bones of living creatures clean in seconds.

The Khemric Titan inflicts 3D6 Strength 2 hits on the enemy unit.

4

Breath of Night: The air around the Khemric Titan is filled with crawling darkness redolent with the chill of the grave, filling mortal souls with panic and terror.

The Khemric Titan does not attack, but instead automatically wins the combat with a combat resolution of 2 (unless this would be higher from other sources).

5

Devouring Jaws: The Khemric Titan's obsidian and onyx mandibles yawn open to devour its enemies, slamming shut with enough force to shatter stone and crush steel.

The Khemric Titan inflicts a Strength 6 hit with the Heroic Killing Blow special rule on all enemy models in base contact.

6

Soul Slaying Hunger: The Khemric Titan releases its most dread power and becomes a howling gate to the realms of the dead, able to suck the souls of the living into the pitch black abyss beyond.

The Khemric Titan inflicts 2D6 hits on the enemy unit. Roll a D6 for each hit, on a 5+ it inflicts a Wound with no armour saves allowed and the Multiple Wounds (D3) special rule. This is a Magical Attack.

Once per magic phase the Khemric Titan can unleash a Bound spell. One of the following may be chosen:

  • The Gaze of Dust: Bound Spell (power level 5). This is a magic missile with a range of 24". It causes a Strength 6 Hit which penetrates ranks in the same way as a Bolt Thrower.

  • Wrath of the Sands: Bound Spell (power level 3). This is a hex spell with a range of 24". The target suffers -2 To Hit when shooting and -1 to their charge distance rolls until the start of the caster's next Magic phase.

Covenant of Power, Light of Death, Tomb Blades (Casket Guard only), Undead, Unleashed Souls, Ward Save (4+)

If you have a Caskets of Souls on the table at the start of your Magic phase, you add D3 power dice to your pool. For each additional Casket, you may add an additional power dice.

Innate bound spell (power level 5). The Casket of Souls can use this spell as long as the Keeper of the Casket model is alive, and the Casket of Souls has not moved this turn. Light of Death is a magic missile with a range of 48". The target unit must take a Leadership test on 3D6, adding the results together. If the test is passed, nothing happens. Otherwise, for each point the unit failed the test by, it suffers an automatic Wound which Ignores Armour Saves, distributed as for shooting attacks.

Once the Leadership test has been resolved, roll a D6: on a 3 or more, choose another unengaged enemy unit within Line of Sight and 6" of the initial target – the tortured souls leap to that unit, which must also suffer the effects of the Light of Death spell. Keep rolling for further victims (each within Line of Sight and 6" of the last target struck), until the roll is failed or there are no more viable targets. A unit can only be the target of Light of Death once per Magic phase.

If a Casket of Souls is destroyed, roll a D6 for every unit (friend or foe!) within 12" of the Casket before it is removed from play. On a roll of 4+, that unit immediately suffers D6 Strength 6 hits, distributed as for shooting. These are magical attacks, and no armour saves can be taken against them. After resolving the effects of Unleashed Souls, remove the Casket of Souls as normal.

For every unsaved Wound inflicted by the Blade of Antarhak, the wielder immediately regains a single Wound lost earlier in the battle. If the bearer is already at his starting number of Wounds and inflicts another unsaved Wound with this weapon, he gains the Regeneration (4+) special rule until the end of the next player turn.

Magic Armour

Light armour. The character can never suffer more than one wound due to combat resolution. If the wearer is with a unit, up to half the wounds suffered due to combat resolution can be allocated against the character, which are then ignored save for the first one.

Talismans

For each unsaved Wound the bearer suffers (before calculating any Multiple Wounds), roll a D6: on a 4+ the Wound is transferred to any friendly model in base contact of the bearers choosing, with no saves of any kind allowed. These Wounds still counts towards combat resolution as normal. If there are no friendly models in base contact, then this rule has no effect.

One use only. A Wizard can declare that he is using Neferra's Scrolls of Mighty Incantations immediately before casting a spell. If he does so, the Wizard must add a number of extra bonus dice, equal to his Wizard level, to the power dice he is going to roll (you still need to roll at least one dice from the power pool). The bonus dice do not count as power dice. However, a roll of any double (except 1's) when initially casting a spell using them will counts as rolling a 6 for the purpose of Ultimate Power.

Bound Spell (Power Level 3). If cast successfully, roll a D6 for every remains in play spell on the tabletop: on a 2+ that spell is automatically dispelled. For each spell that is ended in this way, add D3 power dice to your power pool.

Enchanted Items

The model wearing this mask causes Terror. In addition, enemy units within 6" of the wearer cannot make use of their General's Inspiring Presence special rule or their Battle Standard Bearer's Hold Your Ground! special rule.

Infantry character on foot only. The wearer of the Cloak of Dunes has the Fly (10) special rule. In addition, if the bearer moves over an unengaged enemy unit in the Remaining Moves sub-phase, that enemy unit immediately suffers 2D6 Strength 2 hits, resolved as for shooting attacks. The bearer can move over several enemy units in the same turn if you wish, causing damage to every unit. The same target unit cannot be affected more than once in the same turn.

Magic Standards

Nominate one of your units of Infantry, Cavalry, Monstrous Cavalry or Chariots with the Undead rule that has yet to deploy, whose total points value is no greater than 200 points. That unit gains the Entombed Beneath the Sands special rule. When this unit arrives on the battlefield you must place its 'Entombed Beneath the Sands' marker within 12" of the Banner of the Hidden Dead. If the bearer of this banner is destroyed before the hidden unit emerges, the entire hidden unit is destroyed and removed as casualties.

In addition, every unit with the Entombed Beneath the Sands special rule that attempts to emerge whilst its marker is within 12" of the Banner of the Hidden Dead (including your nominated hidden unit) can re-roll the scatter and artillery dice when emerging. Note that you must either re-roll both, or neither of the dice.

Bound Spell (power level 5). This banner contains an augment spell that targets the bearer's unit. If successfully cast, the bearer's unit immediately recovers D6+2 Wounds' worth of models, as described in the Restless Dead and Resurrecting Fallen Warriors.

Magic Items Expansion

Magic Weapons

The Blade of Setep gives the wielder the Ignores Armour Saves special rule. If the enemy model wears magical armour, the first Hit against this model is ignored, but the magical armour is destroyed for the remainder of the battle.

Wizards only. The Serpent Staff gives the wielder the Poisoned Attacks special rule. In addition, they may re-roll failed rolls To Wound.

Talismans

All enemy Magic Armour and Talismans have no effect while they remain in base contact with the wearer of the Amulet of Pha-Stah. Magic Armour are treated as mundane versions of the same type.

The Blue Khepra makes the bearer immune to the effects of all enemy spells.

Arcane Items

Bound Spell, Power Level 3. The Staff of Ravening contains a magic missile spell with a range of 18" that causes 3D6 Strength 2 hits.

One use only. The Hieratic Jar may be used at the start of any of your Magic phases. The bearer immediately gains +D3 Power dice. Only they may use these extra Power dice.

The Staff of Mastery gives the bearer a +1 bonus to the result of their spell casting attempts when using the Lore of Light.

Enchanted Items

Tomb King only. The Crown of Kings makes the Tomb King's My Will Be Done special rule affect all friendly Undead units within 6" rather than just the unit they are with (including allowing them to March).

Model in Chariot only. The Chariot of Fire causes 2D6 impacts hits with the Flaming Attacks and Magical Attacks special rules.

Model in Chariot only. The Icon of Rulership gives +1 Combat Resolution bonus.

One use only. The Brooch of the Great Desert can be used against any enemy spell cast against it, before attempting to dispel. When used, the bearer and any unit they are with gain the Magic Resistance (5) special rules for the remainder of the turn.

Magic Standards

One use only. The Standard of the Sands may be activated at the beginning of any enemy Movement phase. For the remainder of the turn, no models within 36" of the banner may March, and all units attempting to rally suffer -1 to their Leadership.

Tomb Guard or Tomb Herald on foot only. The unit carrying the Icon of Rakaph may make a Swift Reform at the start of their Movement phase. The unit may then move as normal (including declaring charges).

The unit carrying the Icon of the Sacred Eye (including any mounts) may re-roll failed rolls To Hit in the first round of close combat.

The Mirage Standard forces all Hits from missile attacks targeting the unit carrying it to be re-rolled.

All enemy units in base contact with the unit carrying the Standard of the Cursing Word must pass a Leadership test or suffer D6 Wounds which Ignores Armour Saves at the start of each round of close combat.

The Lore of Nehekhara

Each time a Wizard successfully casts an augment spell from the Lore of Nehekhara at a friendly, Undead unit, the target(s) of the spell immediately recovers D6+1 Wounds' worth of models, as described in Resurrecting Fallen Warriors. Chariots, Monstrous Infantry, Monstrous Cavalry, Monstrous Beasts can only recover D3 Wounds, and Monsters can only recover a single lost Wound in this way per spell.

Khsar's Incantation of the Desert Wind is an augment spell with a range of 24" that targets a friendly Undead unit. If unengaged, the target can immediately make a normal move (but not march or reform) as if it were the Remaining Moves sub-phase. The Wizard can choose to have this spell target all friendly Undead units within 12". If they do so, the casting value is increased to 10+. No unit can be moved by Khsar's Incantation of the Desert Wind more than once per turn (though they still benefit from the Restless Dead Lore Attribute).

Djaf's Incantation of Cursed Blades is an augment spell with a range of 18". The target unit's close combat Attacks gain the Killing Blow special rule until the start of your next Magic phase. If the target unit's Attacks already have the Killing Blow or Heroic Killing Blow special rules, these will take effect on any To Wound rolls of a 5 or 6 whilst this spell is in play. The Wizard can instead choose to extend the range of this spell to 36". If they do so, the casting value is increased to 10+.

Neru's Incantation of Protection is an augment spell with a range of 18". The target unit gains a Ward Save (5+) until the start of the caster's next Magic phase. The Wizard can instead choose to extend the range of this spell to 36". If they do so, the casting value is increased to 12+.

Ptra's Incantation of Righteous Smiting is an augment spell with a range of 18". All models in the target unit gain +1 Attack (including mounts) and the Multiple Shots (2) special rule (excluding war machines) until the start of the caster's next Magic phase. If they already have the Multiple Shots special rule, they may instead fire an additional shot. The Wizard can instead choose to extend the range of this spell to 36". If they do so, the casting value is increased to 12+.

Usirian's Incantation of Vengeance is a hex spell with a range of 18". The target unit suffers -D3 to its Movement (to a minimum of 1) and treats all terrain (even open ground) as Dangerous Terrain, testing every time it moves (including when charging, fleeing, pursuing, moving compulsorily, etc.) until the start of the caster's next Magic phase. The Wizard can instead choose to extend the range of this spell to 36". If they do so, the casting value is increased to 13+.

Usekhp's Incantation of Desiccation is a hex spell with a range of 24". The target unit has -1 Strength and -1 Toughness (to a minimum of 1) until the start of the caster's next Magic phase. The Wizard can choose to reduce the target's Strength and Toughness by D3 (to a minimum of 1) until the start of his next Magic phase. If they do so, the casting value is increased to 22+.

Remains in play. Sakhmet's Incantation of the Skullstorm is a magical vortex that uses the small round template. Once the template is placed, the player nominates the direction in which the Skullstorm will move. To determine how many inches the template moves, roll an artillery dice and multiply the result by the caster's Wizard level. If the result on the artillery dice is a misfire, centre the template on the caster instead; the template moves a number of inches equal to the caster's Wizard level, in a random direction (if you roll a hit, the template remains where it is). Any model under, or passed over by, the template suffers a single Strength 5 hit. In subsequent turns, the Skullstorm travels in a random direction and moves a number of inches equal to the roll of an artillery dice (if a misfire is rolled, the Skullstorm dissipates and is removed). A Wizard can infuse the Skullstorm with more power, so that it uses the large round template instead. If they do so, the casting value is increased to 25+.
