Skeleton Horse Regiment

The mighty armies of the Tomb Kings, made up of regiment after regiment of valiant soldiers, swore an oath of loyalty before the gods to serve the king beyond death. Thus the bones of those soldiers who perished in battle were collected from the field of war and interred in the great tomb pits of the king's necropolis. Those who yet lived after their lord had died marched as if on a victory parade to the necropolis upon the day of the king's entombment. Arranged before the pyramid of their king in ranks, icons held proudly, they were entombed alive. There they remain until the trumpet call of the Liche Priests awakens them and they once again heed the orders of their commanders. Mounted on the skeletal remains of their once proud steeds, regiments of cavalry race across the open plains to engage their foes, while other, more lightly armored horsemen scout out the movements of the enemy, and harrass their flanks. Skeleton Horsemen are a Core unit choice in a Tomb Kings Army.
