Thread-o-mancy alert. (Though perhaps very fitting).
Pictures of the new Tomb Kings are floating around the interwebs and after a tip off from MtP, I found some to bring to you.
First of all, the book cover:

The Necrosphinx is all kinds of sexy.

And how much of this stuff do you think will end up in Necron armies?

I dont know. I do think that the skeleton minis are a lot smaller than Necrons and a lot more slender. Necrons look skeletal, but they are still very tall and their arms and legs, whilst slim, are a lot chunkier than the fantasy models.
Mind you, a Necronsphinx........nah.

Yeah, I was more thinking the Necrosphynx, or those snakey things as Wraiths.

very, very nice. Im not usually excited by the fantasy minis, but most all of that is jammin. As ToD says, the concepts alone bode well for necron armies.
current (2019) hobby interests
eh, y'know. Stuff, and things

Wow. And then Corona happened. Just....crickets, all the way through to 2023...

the sphinx is a thousands sons dreadnought! (with some conversion.) hmm its tempting. I always though thousand sons were cool.

Its tempting.

And all the tomb king bits can really add flavor to the tzeentch look too. hmmm

Those models look great. The good news for Jus is that those undead knights have killing blow ;)

But really I am impressed. You guys are right, it seems that every army is going to get a gigantic monstrous creature. The Orcs have the spider and now the undead have the giant sphinx-like statue. I wonder what the elf armies will get or even the Bretonnians???

OOOOoooooo :o Tomb guards have killing blow too. Wow it does seem like they will have to start pumping out the army book updates to keep the balance of armies?
