Tomb Kings Update

Fat Monkey · 05-05-2009, 21:12

Distant news on an updated Tomb Kings Army Book has reached me, GW are currently looking to cast some fresh light on the dry ones ! The main developemnet is likely to be an increase in the number of Priests that can be deployed, possibly up to six (1 per unit) to increase the number of concurrent incantations on the table.

I am guessing this will be released late 2009 along with some new plastics in a similar way to the recent launches.

Keep a wary eye on the deserts !

Horus38 · 05-05-2009, 21:39

2009 eh, seems far too soon given that no concrete rumors have been heard regarding this.

Ultimate Life Form · 05-05-2009, 21:53

And since Skaven are expected late 2009 as well, that would mean two releases within a few weeks... highly unlikely. I suppose early 2010 is more like it.

Gussy · 05-05-2009, 22:33

Late 2009 eh? Where did you hear that? I'd say you were taken for a ride.

Revlid · 05-05-2009, 22:42

I've heard that Tomb Kings will be getting a Tomb Sphynx as a special character, as well as a unit of elite infantry blessed by specific Khemrian gods for bonuses, and possibly a unit of skeleton skirmishers with heavy cloaks and two handweapons.

Of these, the first sounds plausible (although I'd rather see it as a Rare choice), the second sounds pretty cool, and the third sounds... odd, but possible.

The Liche Priest thing sounds cool, and ties into the depowering of Necromancers - it should be an interesting army mechanic.

Nicha11 · 05-05-2009, 22:46

I would love the liche priests to work like that.

But i'm gonna have to go jump into a barrel of salt till we have some more concrete rumours.

DarkTerror · 05-05-2009, 22:46

Late 2010 maybe?

It looks like Beasts of Chaos will be the first army of 2010. So... uh... too far away to predict. Even if the poster had inside information (which I doubt very much), he/she probably still wouldn't have enough information to predict about things after BoC yet.

Finally the Tomb Kings start popping out their heads from the sands!

What are these heavy cloaks you tell us about?

And how is increasing the number of Lich Priests akin to Necromancer weakening?

By increasing the number of Liche Priests and making them useful it is the opposite of making Necromancers godawful and worthless...

If you jumped into a barrel of salt, you would die in a few hours.

he'd come back as a Tomb Prince.

but I don't think they're coming out this year, sadly. With how VC look I'm excited to see how TK will look. 2010 earliest, IMO

sneb · 06-05-2009, 01:37

early 2010 is in line with the rumors ive heard from the last two years but who knows, maybe they could pull something fast like the sudden influx of planetstrike stuff over the last month.

Captain Cortez · 06-05-2009, 01:42

I have been hearing rumours of a an Ogre Kingdoms update before 2010. I would prefer Tomb Kings though.

EdFireborn · 06-05-2009, 02:55

Ogres in 2009? that would be pretty cool.... however im also jumping into a barrel of salt... regardless of dying in a few hours or not..

Gork or Possibly Mork · 06-05-2009, 05:19

Hmm thats wierd. The release schedule seems screwed right now. According to rumours...Tomb Kings, Skaven, Ogres, Orc & Goblin update, maybe beastmen and some mystery army are all coming out by late 2009 early 2010.

Something ain't right.

We can party until we are both desicated corpses, then we can return and ravage the condiment industry!

sid13 · 06-05-2009, 05:50

I'm gonna believe sometime in 2010 for this..Seem like every usual source has pointed to Skaven, then BoC. Rumors a long while ago did say TK were near an update, if I recall correctly.

Also, those 'heavy cloaks' sounds a lot like wishlisting to me. Even the sphinx, but maybe that's just me as I can't imagine one in a warhammer style.

Stary_Kapec · 06-05-2009, 09:41

I think the Priests in units idea is taken from 6th edition Cult of Ulric army list. So if the rumour is true, I would expect something similar.

Oh, and the Sphynx thing is a players' wishlist, which is 2 years old at least. It shows up on different forums from time to time.

static grass · 06-05-2009, 10:03

Beast and WE are still to come out. I think that these two are higher up the pecking order. I wouldn't dream of TK until the dreaded Brets get their update.

Why would Wood Elves and Brettonians get an update before the older and far inferior Tomb Kings.

On second thoughts are you making a joke?

(If so add smilies).
