Wizard/Necromancer confusion

In the more uptodate rule book it says anyone can hire a Wizard, so does that mean the Khemri Tomb Queen Khalia that i'm planning on getting will count as a wizard instead of a Necromancer?

If she is still a Necromancer the other rule book that I have says you can raise a dead player from the opposing team to play for your team as a zombie, but Tomb Kings don't have zombies, so is it just a skeleton I use?

(I have the LRB6 excell roster thingy and it says for Khemri next to wizards "I said no", lol!!)

I fear that there's a bit of confusion, down here.

- The Wizard is an inducement open to everyone
- The Necromancer is the team coach of the Necromantic/Undead teams, can cast the Raise from the dead spell to get a Zombie for free. The Necromancer takes the place of the Apothecary, but is free.
- Khemri teams does not have the Necromancer, because cannot play Zombies, and cannot buy an Apothecary because they are undead, but can induce the Wizard. If you like, you can call the Khemri coach "Lich King" or something like this, but other than this it has no special abilities.

Thanks for clearing it up for me as you were right, I was confused and I think it was down to the Khemri being under the Undead banner on GW's site that thrown me.
