Tomb Kings in May
https://www.games-workshop.com/gws/content/article.jsp?aId=14300091a&_requestid=1302037
Incoming: Tomb Kings
An ancient race that has lain dormant for thousands of years, the Tomb Kings now awaken from within their ancient burial pyramids. Cheated from the eternal life that they were promised, the Tomb Kings are instead doomed to an eternal undeath - awakened they thirst for vengeance against those who would disturb their slumber.
At the command of these undying lords march legions of implacable Skeleton Warriors, hosts of chariots crewed by long-dead crewmen and towering statues carved from unyielding stone.
The armies of the Tomb Kings are vast, unstoppable hordes that know neither fear nor remorse - and they shall not rest until all who stand against them are laid low.
This May Warhammer: Tomb Kings is released, containing everything you need to use the legions of Nehekhara in your games of Warhammer.
Alongside the new book we'll also be releases a slew of amazing new miniatures for Tomb Kings players to collect and add to their armies. Details are being kept firmly under wraps for now, but more details will be available over the coming months. To make sure you're the first to see the new models and read the latest news keep your eyes fixed to the pages of White Dwarf, the Games Workshop newsletter and the What's New Today blog.
In the meantime, if you're a Tomb Kings player (or thinking about becoming one) it's time to start building up your Undead hordes in preparation for the new arrivals. So, out with the large drybrush (and the pot of Bleached Bone) and onwards to glory!
Presented below are two exclusive sneak peeks at the upcoming releases. Please keep checking back on the website, and in White Dwarf for more information in the near future.

Re: Tomb Kings in May
You literally beat me to post this by seconds. I finally have a reason to put all those chariots together! The kings have been sitting in a dark closet waiting for this... anyone else notice that GW is finally cranking out dexes and army books at a decent rate?

Seems to be about the same rate as always, perhaps it's just that they are finally putting out books people have been waiting for. Also perhaps we don't have anymore expansion books like Planetstrike and such of recent that took up army book slots.

Re: Tomb Kings in May
I don't know about that. It looks like they are doing a better job. Nids, dark Eldar, o&g, grey knights, tomb kings... I believe the Nids and dark Eldar books had the largest lapse between what the scheduled release dates are. The expansion books don't really count. They're used heavily for a month and then sparingly after.

I'd recommend not adding the crew unit they are painted. Much easier to paint chariots pre-build.

Re: Tomb Kings in May
Ok thanks for the tip. So should I paint the whole thing on sprues? Or just the chariot not including riders and horses?

Re: Tomb Kings in May
I don't like to paint on the wsprue because when you clip them off you end up with a bunch of touch up work.
Just don't glue the crew or steeds until they are complete.

Re: Tomb Kings in May
So I just heard, there will be a giant scorpion on par with new giant spider. Looks like some new armies will be getting these giant monster kits.

Oh oh. Also learned that the book is being written by Cruddace. That's the guy who wrote the IG and Tyranid codexes. He is really hit or miss and I believe this would be his first fantasy book.

Re: Tomb Kings in May
Knights surfing on the giant snake heads look dumb. They should have used Scorpions.

Makes it kind of hard to use the stingers when you have a dude riding on your back
