"The city of Nekhemet lies on the border of the cracked lands and the great desert of Araby. In ancient times, Nekhemet was a very rich city, richer even, for its size than Khemri itself. “How did it get so rich?” I hear you ask.
“I will tell you; Nekhemet sits on the very edge of a giant salt pan called Khanet-Nemug, it is from this that the kings of Nekhemet made their fortunes. Hundreds of slaves toiled day and night to dig the salt and transport it to the city from where it was sold at a vast profit.
“Of course, what would be the point of the king accruing all this wealth if he were not to spend it? So, spend it he did, first he built an enormous racing track for chariots and horse, nestled between the dunes. Then, when his neighbours became envious of his wealth he turned these chariots and horses to the purpose of war for they were some of the fastest and strongest in all of Nehekhara.
“Then, eventually, the king died and was embalmed and entombed in the fashion of all the kings at that time and he took with him his entire army and his personal guard. Now, the King was unusual about those of us here in the South, he was pale skinned, his flesh the colour of silver, and his hair was a bright orange, as of a fire and grew long and straight. Therefore, his death mask is made not of gold, but of silver and is enchanted so that, now he lives again, his brow seems to burn.
“The sands came and the sands went, but still the pyramid stood until Nagash, curse his name, cast his wicked sorceries and awoke the army of Nekhemet. The old king was furious to see what had become of his city, to see that his heirs had failed to take action, had lavished their wealth on opulent palace rather than the defence of his nation.
“Whilst the king and his army had slept, his priests had learned the secrets of the sands and had learnt to transport themselves by creating a copy of them out of sand and disintegrating their old body into sand. They also learnt to assemble huge constructs of sand held together through sheer force of will. It is no surprise then that when the king awoke they fashioned him an enormous construct in the shape of a huge desert snake which travels as a sandstorm but, as it charges compacts so as to smash through the enemy’s ranks more effectively. It does this so quickly that the air and sand themselves begin to burn destroying all in their way.
“The King was disgusted that his heirs had failed him and let his kingdom fall and he declared war on them and many other tomb kings. In these wars he proved to be reasonably successful and left many a king smouldering under the desert sun. He secured the ruins of Nekhemet and started to rebuild it and its racing track and started to mine the salt again, selling it to the West and the North rather than the East as of old.
“You asked me to take you to this place. I tell you I cannot. Since the betrayal of his heirs, the king had become very distrusting of outsiders and particularly those alive whom he envies greatly. If I were to take you there, I would be your last guide. You entrusted me with your safety, I say we do not go.”

So any constructivecriticismm would be helpful.
At this stage, assume that money is no object. It will take me long enough to complete this army.
Oh and I know that sometimes I am an awful lot under the points limit but I couldn't really get up any more points without just taking a single tomb warm base which would just be silly.
