Much excitement from this one on my end. Mostly because I play empire and my brother plays vc.

Actually, wait.

Odds are, this might be VC vs TK.. TK (except Arkhan) kinda hate Nagash now.

I would hope not to be honest. I mean I don't see them putting Empire in the box but it was rumored a while back. I can see something this big releasing a new box set with the new models coming out for the Vampire counts it'd make sense to see them in some new box. I honestly cannot see a new Warhammer Fantasy box set being something along the lines of Undead vs undead. But maybe I am just full of speculation by this point. We've had no Fantasy release for several months now so I can only imagine that whatever this is going to be is going to be large, I mean come now...THE END TIMES ARE NIGH....that's a big statement.

I guess people are forgetting the Advent 2013 stuff?

The Restless Dead and Crypt Scavengers existed long before we started getting rumors of Malefic...and it has not really broke the game.

No they have not, infact they have added incredibly fun little instances where you can use them. I wonder though, is there a limit on what armies can use those?

Ok I admit, I liked that teaser.

Did the others have voice overs? I can't remember

I don't recall there ver being a voice over. GW's teaser videos tend to look like they were thrown together pretty quickly and design isn't often taken into account which is funny because their models are so nice as are the design of their books.

You see, the real big thing that is going on here isn't a new campaign or anything....

It's GW releasing a 3rd Undead army....

New Archaon, new Nagash, new Valten and a full blown expansion similar to Storm of Chaos.

I heard the above rumor quite some time ago while at a GW, i took it with a grain of salt but from that video we saw all 3 of the above.. I really hope it is true.

Hmm, I wonder how true that could be. I mean Nagash could come back for some very obvious reasons. But Valten could be a stretch, I mean he was only mortal and he was killed...This seems like a great undead expansion theme. I would love to see a new box coming from this. There were rumors a while back about new Empire units being done, new knights and new State Troops (cause they keep sucking when they make them.)

I want one, I want two, hell I might even want three just to have a lot of Nagash. But to be fair I've been so far in with Warhammer Fantasy that they could've mailed me a rock with "Nagash" scribbled on it and I would've fielded that monster!

That being said however this model looks amazing, it's towering, a huge step up and says a lot about this return. GW has done a great job with this and this has easily gotten me excited for whatever future releases are coming.

The 4+ ward save is pretty good against cannon.

It only works half of the time. How many cannons can you buy for 1000 points ?

Well, I can get three cannons...That's as much as I'm allowed to take. Haha.

Wait....so he is 1000 points? So can only use him in a 4000 point game....damn :p haha

Do you see where they are going with this now?

Something about this makes me very happy. Three weeks of fantasy release sounds interesting. Nagash and a couple kits to start us off, then what? What will GW be giving us?

I've been trying to get more and more on these leaks and current releases, but it tends to be more difficult than I had thought which makes me think that they are trying their very hardest to keep things under wraps. A big declaration like "the end is nigh" and only a couple photos of one unit, well that's pretty hush hush, seeing that the rumors say it's going to be about 2-3 weeks of Fantasy releases.

I personally think all those models are gorgeous. You don't have to agree with the paint job, but the models themselves are breathtaking.

I gotta see base sizes to see if Arkhan can fit on a chariot base, otherwise I love my foot conversion. And will hold off for rules.

I'm buying nagash, and likely the supplement.

With every caster having access to Undeath, will this make horror spam obscene?

I am very interested in this too. I would love to run some sort of Undeath in my Empire army and just spring up the dead, haha!

This truly is the stuff of legend that will put Fantasy back on the map.
