Description

Just when you thought the sands had settled, we're busting out the 90s Egyploitation and going tomb raiding again. Light that lantern and join your hosts Rob and Val on this full review of the Tomb Kings of Khemri Arcane Journal.


We dissect the the thundering Nehekharan Royal Host led by Settra himself, and the construct-worshipping Mortuary Cult. Get ready for a breakdown of all the new magic items, legendary special characters (Settra does NOT kneel, and he also does NOT move swiftly!), and unique units that you might want to inlcude in your Khemrian lists. 


Plus, we kick things off with the latest updates on Val's upcoming Square Based Open Toronto and Rob's tournament experiences.
