A Bretonnian quest that goes very wrong
Warhammer Community jokes that, judging by the title, things go "very well" for Lord Carrard. The book follows the baron and his knights from the lawless Badlands into the desolate heart of Nehekhara, the land of the Tomb Kings. You get the lore of his quest, a narrative campaign you can play through with friends, and four new scenarios.

New army rules for both sides
Bretonnia players can build a Questing Host force led into the desert, while Tomb Kings players can theme their army around one of the six dynasties of ancient Nehekhara. That makes it a natural two-player box: one knightly army, one undead one.

Tomb Kings of Khemri: Battle March box
Alongside the book comes a Battle March army set for the Tomb Kings with:
- 2 Royal Heralds (one on foot, one mounted)
- 18 Skeleton Warriors
- 18 Skeleton Archers
- 5 Skeleton Horsemen
- 3 Sepulchral Stalkers
That's 46 models, a solid core of undead troops for starting a new Tomb Kings army or bulking up an existing one. If you already bought the bigger Host of Nehekhara, this box adds more rank-and-file plus the Stalkers.
