As I recall, Nagash's original body was destroyed quite a while ago by the Fellblade (excepting the hand that crawled away); it is completely reasonable that a Necromancer of his caliber could animate a better body from parts of other bodies.

While his skull and bone tally is at appropriate levels, I think JOHIRA nailed it in saying that it fails in spike, ribbon, and agonized souls of the dammed tally.

Doesn't the fluff say something about him coming back bigger every time he revives?

That's what my fluffier says, anyway.




Sorry. Had to be said.

Terry Pratchett would be taking notes!

would be.

Did he die and no one tell me? Or Wiki?

Well with the new Nagash book allowing for 50% of your army to be Lords, this is all moot.

2k with 1 model taking up half your army makes it pretty simple. But will TO's allow this new Nagash book to be used in tourneys?

Where was this confirmed? Sorry, thread added like 10 pages since I read it last.

He is still alive, but announced in 2007 that he is suffering from early-onset Alzheimers. :(

there's images of the WD where GW specifically says that the End Times will be a call to heroes to rise to the threat (or something like that) and such, Nagash's book will include a rule allowing for 50% of your list to be Lords choices.

I would think that this means that Lizardmen, Warriors of Chaos, and any other army with super expensive lord choices will be rejoicing as their super deluxe special characters now have a shot at seeing the table below 3k.

Tomb Kings on Sphinxes! The Crimson King shall ride again!

Double Screaming Bell is go!

I am guessing you get to Have Nagash as your Lord whatever your army - "Serve me - dead or alive - it makes no difference to me"

I did hear a rumour that Settra is the opposite number and similar.

If so I am hoping Neferata is still against Nagash

Now get translating!

Neferata

and hey Crom is in the book!

Ruddy hell - when I saw the £65 price tag I thought GW was starting to go mad. But he's HUGE. Lovely model but the 'centre piece' kits are just getting way too big IMO. You need so much motivation just to put these together let alone give them a decent paint job. Then there's the fun of transporting them.

Sweet! And Valten, too.

@bubber Holy hell that is mahooosive. Good luck finding a hill to hide him behind.

PREORDERS ARE UP !!!!!

I already ordered my Limited Edition

http://www.games-workshop.com/en-US...ct.repositoryId&qty=12&sorting=phl&view=table

From the product description of the Nagash book:

... It includes the full rules that will allow you to field Nagash and his loyal subjects - along with all-new rules for some of the most powerful heroes of the Old World, such as Valten and Vlad von Carstein - in your games of Warhammer...

Great model.

No doubt the first step of "unbound armies" for WFB.

Nah, he just summons another Nagash.

It's probably nothing, and I'm sure some of the other countries are showing him still in stock, but the US webstore is showing Settra as 'Temporarily out of stock'.


I know it probably IS just out of stock and is just a HUGE oversight as far as GW is concerned (Hey! Check out this awesome opponent for our awesome new model! Oh, but you can't buy him...we'll let you know!)

BUT it would be cool if they came out with a super cool new model kit for him. Although I think his model is just fine, I'm sure they could make a cool new plastic kit!

But, probably nothing....

It is odd how scale changes things. At first glance it just seemed a bit to busy and 'meh' but when seen just how much bigger it is when in scale it makes a lot more sense.

I notice the picture on the GW homepage has him flanked by units of both TK skellies and VC skellies. Wonder if that means the rumours of him uniting TK and VC are true.

From the product description of the Nagash book:

There are also army lists that allow you to create a unified army of Tomb Kings and Vampire Counts known as the Undead Legion.

undead legion.... hmmmm this I can get on! I can't say I enjoyed any of the new TK models, and Settra could use an update also, his facial silhouette is pretty horse-like

I don't think it matters since he's a walking doomy doom sorceror with bigger nuts than most SCs

Nice Conan reference.

The new Nagash model really makes me want to finish my WFB Castlevania project. Or at least work on it a bit. Or maybe just find the box I stuffed them in...

Also made me dig for the old Undead army book, as well as my Wargods of Aegyptus book for some reason. I'm going to have to get some of the Bones not-Egyptians to reenact the BL. Nagash trilogy.

Seems to be getting to the point where the large minis are more mantelpiece ornament than practical gaming piece.

Nagash preordered.

That is going to be one fun beasty to paint.

Well damn the magic cards are no longer available (in Australia); that was fast.

I updated the OP with the above pic and a link to GW's site, now that it's up and readily available. That is a huge model!
