A firend who is fairly new to gaming got a Tomb Kings force before she came over to KoW from Warhammer.
While the Undead list does allow for a Tomb Kingish option, she wanted a more specific list that still carried some flavour, so below is my attempted varient list of the Undead for Tomb Kings:-
Tomb Kings
Alignment: Neutral (can not ally with any army that includes Vampires)
Army Special Rules
All units have Eternal service.
Thy Will Be Done
Time has not dented the will of these ancient Rulers. Extending their Will, they can drive their followers to greater action, even as they did in life!
The Unit has a ranged attack that can only target friendly Shambling units. You roll (n) dice for this ranged attack rather than using the Attacks value of the unit. This attack has a range of 12” and always hits on 4+, regardless of any modifier. For every hit ‘inflicted’, the friendly unit moves straight forward a full inch (stopping 1” from friendly units). If this movement brings it into contact with an enemy unit, treat this as a successful charge. However, the charged unit will not take any Nerve tests for damage it has taken in that shooting phase.
Eternal Service
The Tomb Kings’ followers viewed their rulers as gods in life. These same nobles still command such loyalty, even after death. As they fulfil the will of their masters, the unit is reinvigorated to continue their eternal service.
Every time the unit manages to inflict one point of damage, or more, on an enemy unit in melee, it regains a single point of damage that it has previously suffered.
Shambling
The advance of the Tomb Kings is as irresistible as the shifting desert sands …
The Unit cannot be ordered ‘At the Double!’ In addition; it treats Wavering results as Steady instead.

i tried to use point and rules that already existed in the game elsewhere, if not in the immediate army list already. I let bloodbath go as it seemed more vampiric than tomb king, but balanced this out by allowing the Tomb kings/cursed pharoh to be inspring to all, not just mummies, and considered they now were accessing some options from other armies. i don't think its too big a leap and should still work as a balanced army.
thoughts anyone?
