Tomb Kings Legion of Legend war beasts unit introduced in Total War: Warhammer II with Rise of the Tomb Kings.
Recruitment[ | ]
Recruited with: Regiments of Renown Recruitment panel after unlocking them in the Mortuary Cult
Description[ | ]
Carrion are terrifying Undead birds of prey that resemble giant, reanimated Vultures which feast upon the carcasses of those that have fallen within the lands of Nehekhara. Their broad wings, covered in feathers as black as midnight, darken the sky and spread the shadow of doom upon those dying in the desert. These Undead birds can smell blood from leagues away, and they are drawn to battlefields like moths to flame. Wherever Carrion are seen to fly, death and carnage are surely nearby. According to inscriptions, they were sacred beasts, agents of Ualatp, the vulture-headed God of Scavengers, who bore the spirits of lost warriors to the sky to fight in endless battles against the Daemons of darkness. This belief led to the Mortuary Cult burying corpses of Carrion in the necropolises, entombing many thousands within the pyramids of the Tomb Kings from the time of Nekhef I, who claimed to be the first ruler to use Carrion in his army of eternity and onwards. From these ancient corpses, the Carrion fly across the skies of Nehekhara to feast once more.
Attributes[ | ]
- Flying War Beasts
- ▲ Armour-Piercing: The damage of armour-piercing weapons mostly ignores the armour of the target, making them the ideal choice against heavily-armoured enemies. They are often heavier and attack at a slower rate though, making them less efficient against poorly-armoured targets.
- ▲ Very Fast: This unit can run circles around most other units, taunting and harrassing the enemy or evading its missile fire.
- ▲ Vanguard Deployment: This unit can deploy in an expanded deployment area, allowing it to start the battle within striking distance of the enemy - or somewhere unexpected.
- ▲ Death from Above: While airborne, this unit can use a special attack to damage enemies below.

Strategy[ | ]
A much more offensive version of Carrion, this unit has more melee attack (38), gains armor piercing, magical attacks, flaming attacks and has a bound bombardment ability. While the basic Carrion is more of an interference unit to disrupt enemy artillery from firing as your army advances using high melee defense (46) to stall for longer, the Flock of Djaf can actually kill the artillery or low level archers.
However this unit's size is reduced to only 10 units (down from the 24 of the normal Carrion) and is also bigger which makes it more vulnerable to missile fire and anti-large.
