Whilst Warhammer: The Old World will be concerning itself with the warring factions of The Empire all vying to become Emperor, the Warhammer world is a large place and there are far-off empires looking to reclaim what was once theirs. The Tomb Kings are going to be returning in force to Warhammer: The Old World according to Games Workshop.

The mighty Settra The Imperishable once controlled the lands of Khemri and his empire extended far beyond the sands of his homeland. Since Nagash doomed Settra's people, long years have passed and now Settra has been awoken from his tomb, he is keen to reestablish control over his lands and crush any usurpers.

To that end, it looks like we're going to be getting the full might of the Tomb Kings back on the tabletop with Warhammer: The Old World. Ranks upon ranks of Skeleton Warriors (art above) will be marching across the sands followed by the rumble of chariot wheels.

You'll also see the return of the Sepulchral Stalkers and the like, summoned guardians of ancient tombs, looking to do their king's bidding. The Tomb Kings had a little burst of awesomeness before the Old World was blasted to smithereens by Games Workshop and so it will be great to see kits both new and old (I hope) making it back to the tabletop.

It was mentioned that the focus is going to be on the impact Settra's forces have had on The Old World and its fringes but there are always going to be possibilities for them to head back into the depths of the desert. I would love to see supplements diving into tomb raiding and the like in the heart of Settra's empire. Perhaps that could end up being a supplement for Mordheim...

Are you happy to see the Tomb Kings return in force?
