Skeletons are easy to find, but I expected the rest of Tomb Kings army to be very specific with their Egyptian feel. Luckily Gamezone does an extensive range and Crocodile Games and Reaper also have quite a lot of models. It should also be possible to search for historical Egyptians for stuff like chariots and converting them with some skeletal horses.
A few comments first:
- The models listed here are not perfect and many are not on the same
level as the original ones (those are usually way older than the current
GW range). I am not saying losing GW models won't be a pity, if anything this work
is making me appreciate them even more. I am just saying that a solution
exists. The important part is, the models are out there.
- This is not only my work. I have used ideas and suggestions from
various places and am very grateful for the collective wisdom of the
internet communities.
- In many cases I was unsure about the size of the models and was
forced to go on guesswork only. I hope at least some of them will work.
- When possible, I have tried to link to groups of models and larger
units, if only to show multiple sculpts at once. Most of the companies
sell the individual models as well, should that be preferred.
- I am quite a chaotic person and may have overlooked something
awesome. I usually try to link sites that offer greater number of useful
models or the ones I know I have not exhausted, but searching around
the linked models might yield even more fruit.
- If you know about something useful not linked here, please let me
know and I will add it. This is by no means an exhaustive list and can
never be, but I would like to list as many possibilities as possible.

I also recommend going through the whole Crocodile Games
Aegyptus range (starting with, but not limited to the undead section, they also have separate
shields and
accessories that can help modify any other models), Gamezone
Roal Tumuli Guardians range, Eureka Miniatures
Chaos Egyptians range, Dark Art Studios
mummies and doing a search for
Nefsokar and
Egypt on Reaper website.
Grendel does some Egyptian scenery that could be also helpful.
And for even more suggestions, you can have a look at
this list (I took most of my alternatives from there) and
this one.
