2011 Undead Tut Mummy Fantasy Football Team Player Impact Elfball Egypt King NAF. Designed by Phil Bowen and painted by Laughing Ferret Studio.

PLEASE BE AWARE THAT IF BUYING THIS LISTING WHAT YOU WILL RECEIVE WILL BE UNPAINTED. ANY PICTURES SHOWING ANY PAINTED ITEMS ARE JUST TO CLEARLY SHOW THE DETAIL AND WHAT ANY FINISHED ITEM CAN LOOK LIKE. I'VE DONE THIS BECAUSE OFTEN, ESPECIALLY WITH MINT MINIATURES, YOU CANNOT ALWAYS SEE HOW GOOD THEY ARE UNLESS YOU ACTUALLY HAVE THEM IN YOUR HAND AND ARE CHECKING THEM OUT WITH THE MARK 1 EYEBALL.

The Undead Tut Mummy miniature. A useful figure for the Elfball American football style fantasy game or possibly Dreadball although that is a futuristic fantasy football game so perhaps a little conversion needed, although I don't know what a futuristic Mummy would look like, as the whole point is that they are ancient. Possibly useful as sideline staff such as a coach or referee, but he has more of a player or fan look about him, perhaps a little conversion with one of those football clackers in his raised hand. This is the original Phil Bowen sculpt that was put forward to Games Workshop for a 5th edition player for the Bloodbowl Khemri team. 

LETS BE CLEAR, THIS IS NOT A GAMES WORKSHOP CITADEL BLOODBOWL MINIATURE.

I've put the date as 2011 but the masters used to create the later Khemri Tomb Guardian models were actually 2001, but those were never sold as there would have only been a dozen to maybe 2 dozen in total.  This Tut figure, that was cast off the masters from the original sculpt, did not come out to the public until 2011. This Tut Mummy was the initial Khemrian teams Tomb Guardian design put forward to Fanatic Games, which was later changed to the Specialist Games Range. Both of which were a division of Games Workshop. Various changes were required by Fanatic, to this Mummy. The Khemri team had two Tomb Guardians in it, and you'll see that they are similar in pose to Tut, but more developed. Quite a few differences between them though. If you look in Games Workshops 2004 Specialist Games catalogue, specifically at Khemri mummy 1 (reference 9947099905101) as he has the same facial expression, you'll see that the Khemrian Mummy has armour on the thighs and a sash hanging from a belt buckle which covers his groin. The Khemri Mummy also has more torso bandages and a helm. The Tut Mummy figure fits in a Khemri team perfectly due to this and are good if you are after a slightly different looking Star Player Mummy, or the two additional Mummies needed for a nice bashy team. Don't go subtle when buying your team roster, the dead rising is not a subtle event! 

This Tut miniature has no date or proper detail on it's slotta. It is a thinner slotta that the Khemri Mummies, and does look like some writing has been redacted. Likely this stated Fanatic which had to be removed due to copyright perhaps. The Citadel 5th edition Khemri Mummys have 2001 on their slottas so I've put the year of this figure as 2001, as it was clearly the same year or just prior to that. As I said, the Tut figure goes very well with the Citadel Bloodbowl team and is a worthy addition to the set. If you are instead going for the GW team, then please be aware that the Games Workshop Khemri team comprised of two different Mummies, the Tomb Guardians, which were solid pieces and the Skeletons which came in small pieces. We are talking some really small component pieces, that if they pinged out of your tweezers you'd be scrabbling around on the floor and cursing Nagash! It was a good idea, as you could have each player looking slightly different, but due to the nature of Bloodbowl the miniatures were very fragile and easily broken. The arms could come off when you picked the figure up, if you applied too much pressure. You have to be very gentle with them. It's not really viable to drill and pin the arms on. When building them, I'd advise extra strong superglue and don't go easy on it. The Skeleton parts were, Tomb King Head 1, Tomb King Head 2, Tomb King Collar, Tomb KingSkeleton Torso, Tomb King Skeleton Head Sprue, Tomb King Skeleton Pad Sprue, Tomb King Arm Sprue, Tomb King Skeleton Legs (of which there were two and they were randomly included). You can see all the pieces in the GW US 2005 to 06 Specialist Games and Classic Range catalogue here:

DELETED!

Many people actually use some Games Workshop plastic skeletons, as they won't break on the pitch, but they have no weight to them, so get moved easily by board knockers and don't remain in position well at all, and I'm not talking in game! A slight wind and they are all over the place. You might want to look at the older metal miniatures that GW did, and perhaps convert a few of them. The team itself only came with two Mummys, but in game you can have 4. Yeah, I know, don't be gentle! So if you are looking to put a team together, you may wish to pick up Tut, but regards Bloodbowl, Tut is not a Bloodbowl miniature, and is not sold as a Bloodbowl miniature as it was never sold by GW. GW later brought out (in 2004) the Ramtut III Star Player figure. Ramtut 3 was also done by Phil Bowen. The only other miniature was the Khemri cheerleader that was designed by Shane Hoyle. It was a great little fleshless body that any Tomb King would like to get his boney fingers on. 

The Khemrian team by name are very recent addition to the Bloodbowl genre. Although if you look back over the early rules, you'll see reference to the ancient tombs of Araby. The Khemrian team is Games Workshop's idea of what an Egyptian theme would look like. The team itself consists solidly of Mummies (the Tomb Guardians) and Skeletons (the Linemen, Thro-Ras and Blitz-Ras). In comparison to the other Undead teams available, then they would be the strongest but be aware that Khemri teams are not for beginners. Although you can work from how you want the team to go, Khemri would be best suited as a bashy team and every single player on the Khemri roster has access to the Regenerate skill. Excellent to assist long term development as on average they are very resilient and less likely to suffer bad results. The Khemri team roster consists of a choice from 0-16 Skeletons, 0-2 Thro-Ras, 0-2 Blitz-Ras and 0-4 Tomb Guardians.

The Tomb Guardians are Mummies and have Decay. Where as in past rules they had Tomb Rot which worked in their favour. Decay means that if a Mummy suffers a casualty result on the injury table, that's if the opposition can achieve that, then the player must roll twice on the casualty table and apply both results. A successful Regeneration roll will heal both results though. So a double or nothing situation. Ensure you take those rerolls. Lots of them. As with most of the big Guys, they don’t have Normal access to the General skills. Block being what you want, but in their favour, you can get four of them on the pitch and they have Str 5. Well hard!

The team also has it's cheap Skeleton lineman. They do have the downside though, some would say far outweighing the positives. Poor movement, means that some teams will runs rings around you. Also low agility means that they can really struggle to move the ball up the pitch, even pick it up! AG2 or less for the team, the Tomb Guardians have the worst AG in the entire game. Even the Thro-Ras with AG2, although they at least have the sure Hands skill, will suffer. When it rains, it pours. If an 11 is rolled on the Weather table, then good luck! This will give an additional -1 modifier to all catch, intercept and pick up rolls which will have the Khemri team wishing it still had tear ducts! Good advice is that when you attempt to pick up the ball ensure you have other players there when things go wrong. If you want to play a brutal game, and batter the opposition, then Khemri may be for you, but don't expect to be scoring lots of touchdowns.

Games Workshop started off with just one Undead based team, but later the Undead spread out into four individual teams, some with elements of each other. This also occurred with Warhammer fantasy battle (WHFB), and was a good move as it really added something to the genre. The four teams were Khemri, Necromantic, Undead and Vampire. Famous Necromantic teams include the Bruendar Grimjacks, Cushing Hammer and Westside Werewolves. Undead teams are the Acid Bay Shades, Frozen Phantoms, Nightmare Nufflers and the Tombstone Terrors. The Black Widows are known, but were from an earlier ruleset, before the Undead split, and were a Skeletons, Mummies and Troll team. The best known team are the Champions of Death who play in the Pain Park Stadium. Their coach is Tomolandry the Undying and the cheerleaders are called Dem Bonez I'm unsure if this is a spelling error and it should be Dem Bones). Their team sponsors are the Temple of Morr. Vampire teams are the Black Sabbeths, Craggen Counts and the Streissen Vampires.
