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 Court of Lybaras in Immortal Empires
Select the Tomb Kings, then the Court of Lybaras, to play Khalida. Her army identity rests on archery and the venom of Asaph. The queen’s hostility to vampires comes from her history with Neferata, while her campaign uses the shared Tomb Kings systems for Dynasties, Canopic Jars and the Mortuary Cult.
Give the archers a supporting army
Khalida’s ammunition support encourages an army that can keep firing through a long engagement. Plan the infantry screen and mobile response as carefully as the archers themselves. More shooting helps only while your missile troops have targets and room to fire.
Dynasty research and specialist unit capacity shape how quickly you can add armies and constructs. Build those capabilities while securing the territory that supplies them; a distant Book of Nagash is a campaign choice to weigh against local defence.
Protect the firing line
Skeleton Spearmen can delay enemies approaching the archers. Keep reserve troops ready for a flank attack, and use melee Ushabti against a fight already held by your infantry. Great Bow Ushabti fill a different role and need their own firing lanes.
Khalida can fight in melee, but chasing a target away from the army leaves the archers without her nearby presence. Liche Priests add magic, Tomb Princes provide melee support and Necrotects accompany the constructs. Choose support for the formation you are actually fielding.
The Court of Lybaras
Rise of the Tomb Kings unlocks High Queen Khalida with Settra, Khatep, and Arkhan. She leads the Court of Lybaras. Archers are the army’s point. The Rise of the Tomb Kings FAQ gives her a hefty ammunition bonus, poison for the army, less corruption, and an easier time with attrition, without printing the patch percentages. She can fight in melee. The bow line still needs a screen.
Neferata is the cousin in that same FAQ, and a Vampire Counts lord rather than a Tomb Kings one. Settra, Khatep, and Arkhan are the other three in the pack. Hatred of vampires is the queen’s campaign colour. The sandbox decides which vampire she actually meets.
