if you have the starter box book you can see that on one page (with the skellies) they are called the "death-rattle legion" which I assume is the new name for the skeleton legion... now on that note what do we think is happening with the undead in general? I believe they are going back to their roots with having strong heroic characters (be they mummies, wights, necromancers etc) and lots of summoned hordes... that would explain the new "mummy" race as that could anyone who was "mummified" (which is a different form of magic/death I guess from normal burial or vampirism, makes sense if you think about it) and I was also a big fan of mummies just not the egyptian flavoured ones, maybe they can be more distinct now.

vAMPIRES get cursed and bit to become them
MUMMIES get mummified and prayed over to become them
SKELETONS god knows what they are doing with these
