    I like the standard bearer conversion for the Ushabti. You don't see that too often.

    I notice in the background the owner has converted the steed from the Mortarch kit, I’m guessing into a Necrosphinx - I was thinking of doing that if I ever got round to doing a TK force. I was thinking of using a pair of spare Carnifex talons (of which I have plenty being a Tyranid player) to give it a pair of scything blades for its Decapitating Strike.

    Too much Tomb King + Necron goodness to contain within a single model!

    Very good ideas, still it feels a bit weird seeing TKs on brown bases with regular dirt instead of sand.

    That's because they are conquering new lands for their true King! :D

    My one annoyance with this is that there are not smaller pyramids around the main one

    Just rediscovered some music from a little-known RTS game based on Alexander the Great's campaigns I used to play a lot - there's a couple of themes specifically attributed to the Egyptians that would be really good as themes for Tomb Kings, or at least Ancient Nehekhara before Nagash's betrayal, as they conjure up a real feeling of both grandeur and the relentlessness at which both the real Ancient Egyptians and their Warhammer counterparts would force their workers to construct buildings and encampments.

    Good video: did ancient Egyptian tombs have traps?



    What I found really interesting about this video was that throughout history, TONS of tombs of deceased kings/nobility got robbed, often by their descendants, and often led by the people who built the tombs because they knew how to get in, where the goods were buried, and how much good stuff was buried inside!

    10/10 would do it with a corpse again.

    Again?!


    Surely there is a story attached to that. ;) Although we probably don't want to know.
