A Tomb Kings battalion box spotted on eBay may bring a new cost-effective option with Tomb Guard, Skeletons, and a Necrosphinx to the lineup.
The sands of Nehekhara are shifting again, and this time it’s thanks to a battered box that surfaced on eBay. A potential new Tomb Kings battalion box has people talking, and it’s raising questions about what Games Workshop might be planning next for Warhammer: The Old World.
Let’s break down what’s inside, why it matters, and how this could signal big moves for both the Tomb Kings and (maybe) Bretonnian rivals.
A Different Box Than the Starter Set

But what surfaced on eBay isn’t that set, it’s something new, stamped with a 2024 copyright date.

So this box could be something planned long ago, delayed, and now making a sneaky appearance.
What’s in the New Tomb Kings Battalion Box?

- 20 Tomb Guard
- 20 Skeleton Warriors
- 16 Skeleton Archers
- A Necrosphinx
- A Tomb King
If true, this mix feels spot-on for a mid-range army box. It’s not the full starter experience, but it delivers variety, an imposing monster, and a character, perfect for players who don’t want to drop $300 just to start rolling dice.
The Price Point Sweet Spot

The value feels comparable, lots of infantry to build your core units, a big centerpiece model, and a hero to lead the charge. It hits the same balance as past battalion boxes across other factions.
The Mystery of the Damaged Box

Cue the tinfoil hats: could this have come from the infamous “GW leak desk”? Veterans of the hobby will remember when product photos mysteriously showed up on the same background table or, in the case of Saturnine, in someone’s closet or car.
The resemblance hasn’t gone unnoticed.
What About the Bretonnians?

A dual release would make sense: both factions started strong with pricey entry points, both are missing that mid-tier battalion, and both could use a box in the $185 range to hook more players into Warhammer: The Old World.
Final Thoughts on New Tomb Kings Battalion Box
At the end of the day, it’s just a box that surfaced on eBay. Until GW posts it on their site or shows it in a preview, we’re technically in rumor territory. But the model lineup makes sense, the value lines up with other battalions, and the Tomb Kings really could use a lower-barrier entry point for new players.
So is this the future of the Tomb Kings range? Possibly.
Is it guaranteed? Not yet.
For now, it’s a curious sandstorm on the horizon, and one that might sweep up Bretonnians in its wake.
The leaked Tomb Kings battalion box could be a clever move from Games Workshop, offering a cheaper and more balanced entry point into the faction than the $299 starter. If it’s an official product waiting in the wings, it shows just how much demand there is for flexible, mid-priced Warhammer: The Old World army boxes.
Until GW confirms, keep your Ushabti-sized expectations in check, but don’t be surprised if we see the sands shift again very soon.
