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 Exiles of Nehek in Immortal Empires
Select the Tomb Kings, then the Exiles of Nehek, to command Khatep. He is the Grand Hierophant banished by Settra after awakening the king to an existence Settra found unacceptable. His exile gives this campaign its identity; his battlefield strength is the Lore of Nehekhara.
Research and the priesthood
Khatep favours Dynasty research and Liche Priest recruitment. Those strengths fit the Tomb Kings’ need to awaken further rulers and organise support for new armies. Decide what each army needs before assigning your priests, rather than concentrating every caster in the same force.
The Mortuary Cult uses Canopic Jars and resources to craft equipment and awaken Legions of Legend. Check those needs alongside your Dynasty plans when deciding how to spend jars. Specialist troops still depend on the recruitment capacity supplied by your settlements.
Keep the caster working
Let Skeleton Spearmen establish a line before committing valuable constructs. Khatep can then use magic around an engagement whose position you control. Keep him clear of enemy melee troops and watch the approach of fast units that can reach the rear of your formation.
A Tomb Prince provides a melee companion, while a Necrotect supports Ushabti and other constructs. Another Liche Priest can broaden your spell choices, but those casters share the army’s Winds of Magic; choose spells for the fight rather than casting simply because they are available.
The Exiles of Nehek
Rise of the Tomb Kings unlocks Grand Hierophant Khatep with the other three Tomb Kings lords. He leads the Exiles of Nehek. The Academy describes a hard start, banished far from the other Tomb Kings, with a Hierotitan and Carrions. Lore of Nehekhara is his magic.
Settra is the king who exiled him. Khalida and Arkhan are the other two lords in the pack. Canopic Jars, dynasties, and the Mortuary Cult are the shared campaign. Khatep’s research and his priests are the exile’s version of it.
