Tomb Kings Return: New Models and Lore for Warhammer: The Old World

The world of Warhammer continues to expand, and fans of The Old World have a lot to be excited about. With Grand Cathay’s recent debut still turning heads, attention now shifts to the arid sands of Khemri as the legendary Tomb Kings rise again—bringing powerful new models, deep lore, and strategic options for both collectors and competitive players alike.

Here’s everything you need to know about the next chapter in the unfolding saga of Warhammer: The Old World.

Lead the Undead Legions with Royal Heralds

The Tomb Kings are back in force, and leading the charge are two impressive Royal Heralds. These new multi-part plastic kits can be built as Tomb Princes or Battle Standard Bearers and come with options to assemble them on foot or mounted on skeletal steeds.

Each kit offers a range of interchangeable arms (three left, three right), letting you customize your character to suit your playstyle—whether that’s a hard-hitting prince leading a cavalry charge or a banner-bearing hero commanding the undead from the front lines.

New Liche Priests: Magic That Binds the Army

The mystical force behind every Tomb Kings army is its Liche Priests—necromancers who literally hold their skeletal forces together. The newest plastic Liche Priest kit includes both foot and mounted options, and comes with four different head choices to personalize your sorcerer.

Liche Priests are more than just support units—they’re essential for unleashing powerful magic that animates and empowers your forces. With fresh new sculpts and customizable options, these priests are ready to channel the will of the Mortuary Cult.

Arcane Journal: War of Settra’s Fury

Dive into the lore and battle strategies with a new Arcane Journal, titled War of Settra’s Fury. This 48-page supplement explores the Tomb Kings’ military campaign into the Border Princes and Vaults—regions just south of Bretonnia.

Inside you’ll find:

• Lore-rich narrative content covering Settra’s invasion

• Mount options for Khemrian characters

• Rules for Mortuary Cult magic

• New Armies of Infamy, including Border Princes militias and Dwarfen Slayer bands

• Scenarios designed for smaller-scale battles in The Old World

Whether you're a longtime fan or just getting into narrative play, this journal is packed with content to deepen your game.

Arcane Journal: Dawn of the Storm Dragon

The second Arcane Journal expands on Grand Cathay’s arrival in the Old World. Titled Dawn of the Storm Dragon, it follows Miao Ying as she leads a powerful expedition to aid the Empire during a Chaos invasion led by Frydaal the Chainmaker.

In this supplement, you’ll discover:

• The origin of the Jade Fleet, a new Army of Infamy uniting Cathay with Westerland allies

• Multiplayer rules, linked narrative battles, and unique terrain generation tools

• Rich lore that further ties Grand Cathay into the fabric of the Old World

Perfect for players who enjoy cooperative play or campaign-style games, this journal expands the possibilities of how you experience The Old World on the tabletop.
