Magic Standards

Standard of the Sands(Magic Standard)60 points

Created for the famed general Amenemhetum the Great, this banner summons a raging storm of sand that sweeps over the battlefield. With screaming winds and biting sand assaulting then, the enemies of the Tomb Kings become momentarily disorientated and confused.

Mirage Standard(Magic Standard)40 points
