Tomb Kings are one of the forces in Games Workshop's Warhammer Fantasy setting. They are all undead, with an evident ancient Egyptian theme.
The Tomb Kings were once rulers of Khemri, a vast kingdom similar to ancient Egypt and the Mesopotamian civilizations. The rulers were led to believe that they would rule paradise in the afterlife, and were thus entombed so that they were prepared for this. Later, an evil wizard usurped the throne and attempted to turn these dead kings into his personal undead army; he eventually failed. However, his attempt caused the kings to awaken as undead and turned the great nation into a vast desert. The kings were enraged that they had not been reborn into paradise, and now plot to conquer the world to compensate.
Their armies are primarily based on skeletal warriors bearing equipment typical to portrayals of ancient Egypt, notably, large numbers of chariots. They may also field gigantic undead scorpions, swarms of beetles, and animated statues of their gods. They are often led by the Tomb Kings themselves, or their sons, the Tomb Princes. They are generally accompanied by Liche Priests, who see to it that the magic spells keeping the army animated continue to function.
