Tomb Kings of Khemri List Building Strategies | Warhammer the Old World | Deep Dive

Dust off your chariots and sharpen your khopesh, because your hosts Rob and Val are taking you on a long-awaited DEEP DIVE into the Tomb Kings Grand Army for 2025!

With the new Match Play Guide changing the face of the battlefield, this isn't just any review; it's a whole new expedition into the Land of the Dead. We're cracking open the ancient seals to look at everything, from the powerful army-wide rules to every single dusty unit in the roster. Is the Necrosphinx still a top-tier terror? Can a block of humble skeletons actually win you the game now? Is Val's new hat secretly powered by the Casket of Souls?
