** The Tomb Kings always had a problem with their unit tiers on the tabletop, specifically their infantry and cavalry, whose gap between low and high tier is rather large. To fix this, Creative Assembly created two homebrew units, the Nehekhara Warriors (Skilled soldiers duel-wielding two Khopeshes that serve as aggressive medium infantry), and the Nehekhara Horsemen (Riders who are more well-armored then the fragile Skeleton Horsemen) which fulfill that role.

** Then there is the Screaming Skull Catapult. They were devised by a particular Tomb King of Zandri who found himself repeatedly defied by kings of Araby. Their troops wound up as the titular screaming skulls that the catapult launches, but that wasn't the fate of the rebel kings themselves; they were mummified and granted eternal life, then nailed to the catapults just so they could be made to watch their cities be turned to smoking rubble. They are ''still'' nailed to the catapults, barely there shreds of skin and jerky hoarsely begging for mercy that will never be granted.

* LargeAndInCharge: Just ''look at him''; not only is he taller then the other tomb kings, he's way more muscular. In the tabletop his basic strength was 6, making him the strongest infantry-sized model. For perspective, Chaos Lords and Ogre Tyrants have strength 5, while a creature just as strong using the game profile is a DRAGON.

* IWasQuiteALooker: She was famed for being ''very'' beautiful in life. Even in her undead state, due to her ornate funeral mask, she's still quite a bit more attractive then her peers... apart from the cracks on one side that show the rotting mummy face underneath, naturally.

* TheDrifter: Khatep doesn't stay in a single place for long, as he's wandering the world, seeking knowledge then can put an end to the Tomb Kings' curse of unlife. In between that, he's usually helping any Tomb King Legion that needs him. In the game proper, he find himself all the way in the GrimUpNorth of ''western Naggaroth'', about as far away from Nehekhara as its physically possible to get in-game.

* SparedByTheAdaptation: More like Undead by the Adaptation but the recuitable Legendary Tomb Kings from the tech tree include Thutep the brother of Nagash and Lahmizzash Brother of Neferata as having returned as undead, when neither is mentioned as having been resurected in the previous lore.
