Content pack: Total War: Warhammer II – Rise of the Tomb Kings. Immortal Empires ownership
- Rise of the Tomb Kings unlocks the Tomb Kings and their four Legendary Lords in Immortal Empires. With Warhammer III as your campaign entry point, own this Warhammer II DLC on the same storefront; the Warhammer II base game is not required.
The Followers of Nagash in Immortal Empires
Select the Tomb Kings, then the Followers of Nagash, to play Arkhan. The Liche King is Nagash’s loyal servant, setting him apart from the monarchs who seek to restore their own kingdoms. His faction retains Tomb Kings Dynasty research, unit capacities and Mortuary Cult crafting.
A different undead roster
Arkhan can recruit selected Vampire Counts units alongside his Tomb Kings forces. This adds different tools to the skeleton-and-construct army. Inspect the available recruitment entries before choosing how to support the core: extra unit families are useful when they solve a battlefield problem.
His affinity with Vampire Counts gives diplomacy a different emphasis from the other Tomb Kings. Keep territorial security and the recruitment capacity of your settlements in view while choosing allies and planning expeditions for the Books of Nagash.
Combine sorcery with a holding line
Arkhan uses Death magic as well as fighting in melee. Keep the lord within reach of support and choose opportunities to cast before committing him to a prolonged fight. His presence does not remove the need for an infantry screen around the army’s valuable units.
Skeleton Spearmen hold enemies while Ushabti add heavy melee pressure. Use the additional Vampire Counts troops for roles that complement that formation. A Liche Priest can supply a different magic lore, a Tomb Prince adds melee help and a Necrotect supports the constructs.
Rise of the Tomb Kings, and Nagash’s lieutenant
Rise of the Tomb Kings unlocks Arkhan the Black with Settra, Khalida, and Khatep. Warhammer III can be the campaign entry. The Warhammer II base game is not required if this DLC is owned on the same storefront. He leads the Followers of Nagash. Death magic is his lore. The roster lets him recruit some Vampire Counts units the other Tomb Kings do not field.
Settra leads Khemri. Khalida leads the Court of Lybaras. Khatep leads the Exiles of Nehek. The Return of Nagash is the End Times novel in which Arkhan and Mannfred plot the resurrection. That book is not the Immortal Empires war.
