Clawtopsy posted:Khaine is dead? lame To be exact on what people are saying. He is dead, but his Iron Heart endures. And as a cyclical being he can come back to life if his worship gains enough traction. The issue is that the Holder of his Heart Morathi is tricking his followers and stealing the power his worship gives for himself. And while she is leeching it, he can't come back. Also the thing about finding his other shards is just bullshit that Morathi made up as I recall they don't exist.

Legions of Nagash The forces of the God of Death Nagash. Lead by him, his lieutenants the Mortarchs, and various Vampries, and Necromancers. Divided into several lesser Legions lead by his Mortarchs. With spooky scary skeletons galore and an obsession with taking souls back. How do they Play? In various ways. As they are several factions that share the same units. From the Hordes of Skeletons from Nagash's Grand Host, to the magic and wizard focused Legion of Sacrament. Though all of them like having Skeleton Chaff, which all of them can revive, heal, and even fully replace the deceased units with another. Play Legions of Nagash if you: • Like large, regenerating hordes of slow close-combat units that you can stack an obscene number of buffs onto. • Like Versatile armies of Powerful Monsters, Mages, and Elites with distracting chaff that is easily replaced. • Like Vampires, Skeletons and Ghosts all teaming up to murder things. • Like painting things white. Feel free to make this entry nicer. As I not a good writer for stuff like this.

Macdeo Lurjtux posted:He’s still around, they just changed his name to not get sued. Malekith, Teclis and Tyrion all ascended to godhood and are currently running around trying to rebuild the elves. They probably would not have been sued anyway given that he is still called Malekith in Total War and such. It's also weird as he is the only God that goes by a different name now. Clawtopsy posted:what happened to malekith anyway Here is a list of the old characters still around in Age of Sigmar that I remember First off are the Primary Gods. Sigmar God of the Heavens. Tyrion God of Light. Along with lesser God Teclis Malekith (Now calling himself Malerion) God of Shadows Alarielle God of Life. Grungni God of Metel. Grimnir God of Fire. (Who got himself killed fighting the greatest of Salamanders.) Gorkamorka God of Beasts. (He is just Gork and Mork when they agree on things, when they disagree and fight they turn back into two.) Nagash God of Death. After that other old characters and survivors Gotrek (with his new book, were he is going to go and look for Felix who may have also survived.) Thanquol (Yet to do anything) Archaon The Glottkin Mannfred von Carstein. Neferata Arkhan the Black Vlad von Carstein (Yet to do anything) Morathi Celestant Prime (He is a character from the Old World we just don't know who he is. Maybe Karl Franz?) Lord Kroak Sotek Kroq-Gar (Though he has yet to do anything.) The Council of Thirteen from Fantasy (Who all became Verminlords.) Drycha Hamadreth And those are all of the confirmed not outright Daemon returning characters that I can recall.

Ghost Leviathan posted:At this point I imagine he's probably amused. Lord_Hambrose posted:I think he is explicitly not. No we just have no confirmation at all. He is from the Old World is all that is known. Pendent posted:If Felix survived the most likely reason to me would be that he was reincarnated as a Stormcast. All things considered I'd guess one of the Anvils of the Heldenhammer since that was supposed to be their whole shtick from what I remember of the fluff. From the book synopsis that seems to be Gotrek's theory. quote:Gotrek Gurnisson was the greatest monster slayer of the age, who met his doom at the End Times. The heroic dwarf stepped forth into the Realm of Chaos to fight the daemons gnawing at the world’s ending and satisfy his death oath, leaving behind his companion Felix Jaeger. Now Gotrek has returned, having outlived the old gods and the Old World. Spat from the ruinous depths with his redemption unfulfilled, he emerges into the Mortal Realms, a strange new world where gods walk and dark forces are ascendant. Nothing is as he remembers. His oaths are dust, and the lands are torn asunder by Chaos. Yet when Gotrek learns of human champions being elevated to immortality for Sigmar’s fight against this darkness, the so-called ‘Stormcast Eternals’, he knows why fate has brought him into this new age. To find Felix. For only then can he find the peace in death he seeks. But is there more to Gotrek’s apotheosis than even he can fathom? Has he truly been chosen by Grimnir and for what purpose?

Hidingo Kojimba posted:Not heard that one. Although apparently the new core book does have an amusing explanation for vampire lords using the old special characters models. When Nagash gave Mannfred a kingdom in Shyish to rule over, Mannfred made a bunch of magical copies of Vlad, Isabella, Konrad and the other Von Carsteins so he could force them to bow before him and be his lackeys. Then he had an “Oh god what the hell am I even doing?” moment and abdicated. Vlad is confirmed to be Mortarch of Shadows still.

Clawtopsy posted:I thought the premise of Nagash was he got all the souls of the fuckos who didn't pick a side in the Sigmaring. Brettonians, as I recall, went out like complete legends crusading until the end, to the extent King Louie's blessed blood poisoned Great Unclean Ones. Nagash actually by default is supposed to get all Souls. When the Pantheon was originally set up that was promised to him. Chaos however takes the souls of their followers, so naturally Nagash was pissed at them. When Sigmar started creating the Stormcast, Nagash pretty much declared his unending hate for him cause those souls he was using for Stormcast were supposed to be his as promised by Sigmar. Likewise he hates the Elven gods for taking souls out of Slaanesh and turning them into new Eleven Races because as promised those should be given to him.

Arkhan not as devout loyalty could be a side effect of him being the only Old World Mortarch who did not keep all of his memories of it. Like one of the main reasons he was so loyal to Nagash was because Nagash gave his worthless life meaning. (Well Unlife at this point.) As Arkhan started out as a good for nothing thug and became the Lich King with Nagash's help. Deofuta posted:He was a simpering lackey in the WHFB books, I hope he grew some god damned backbone nowadays.

long-rear end nips Diane posted:You can ally them in but those models aren’t allowed to be used in a legions of nagash force, which is where you would run Neferata et al This does not appear to be true. Most of the models from what have been shown can just be used normally in Legions of Nagash. Likely the new Mortarch will be able to as well. (Once she gets her own legion.) Like in the starter set for the new edition they even say that all the Models in the set can freely be used in Legions of Nagash.

Second to last Malign Portents story. https://malignportents.com/story/the-final-witness/ Edit: Just read it Destruction saves the day. Also quote:A deafening crack sounded on the far side of the city. The choking lakes of tar that flanked Nagashizzar’s northern border began to overflow, sending great waves of black sludge flooding forth. From this viscous muck emerged thousands upon thousands of greenskin brutes, bellowing in fury as they charged towards Nagash’s city. Where they had come from, I could not see, for whatever force had guided them into Shyish was barring my vision. The leader of this mysterious horde was an enormous orruk, his face marked by a vicious wound and his right eye missing. From atop his monstrous steed he called out to his fellow creatures of Destruction, and in a surge of green flesh they crashed into the outermost wall of Nagashizzar. In somewhat awesome news. The Mysterious Orc leader may be Grimgor. Correction edit: It's not Grimgor it's the Ironjaw Warboss from this story. https://malignportents.com/story/the-hunt/ MonsterEnvy fucked around with this message at 06:49 on Jun 23, 2018 |

Beerdeer posted:What happens to good souls? Mildly evil ones go to become the Nighthaunt line troops, chaos worshippers go to their gods, Sigmar recycles, but what about Joe Empire who just tries to make it through the day and maybe goes to temple twice a year? Sigmar takes the Souls of the best and brightest, The Chaos Gods take those who worship them. All others go to the myriad underworlds and afterlives of Shyish. Nagash then sends his servants to collect those souls and pervert those afterlives. While also eating any after life gods that manifest with those afterlives. As of current events it appears that Nagash has further perverted the system of how things are supposed to work. Namely the big thing with his recent evil plan was to raise the undead in all the mortal realms, thus creating a zombie apocalypse. However this was not the main goal, the primary benefit is that he redirected the flow of souls, now all souls by default go his Fortress of Nagashizzar. Which he turns them into his ghosts. The Nighthaunt basic troops the Chainghasts are the souls of those who were not remarkable in any way, not just the mildly evil. MonsterEnvy fucked around with this message at 18:44 on Jun 25, 2018 |

The Deleter posted:So Lady Olyander seems to be a ton of insane effects on a 7 wound 4+/6++ chassis. I wouldn't underestimate her but I have a feeling she might not be so crazy to fight in practice. If you can kill her in one turn to prevent her from ever healing or doing anything then you get to laugh at the guy who brought a 240 point model to the game. I'm way more interested in Kurdoss stealing command points, or using Reikenor as what a pleads to be a 75 point guarantee of getting the Purple Sun off. None of them are Monsters so they all benefit from the -1 to hit with shooting "look out sir" ability. And the 4+ is unmodifiable.

Floppychop posted:I hope Nagash's battletome is a good sign as a precedent for a skaven battletome. I am also of this opinion. Add maybe some redone and new units. And make it so that all skaven clans get access to Clanrats and Stormvermin. (Cause they all have them.) But Clan Verminous gets the best Clanrats and Stormvermin and has allegiance abilities that focus on them and buff them.
