dear god if this is news about TK it would be swell, this old book just did not work for me.
Although I think the imagery is predominantly Vampire Countish... death = zombies and necromancers if they were doing TK , it would be more of an "empire" and "takeover" type of marketing per say.
just my 2 copper.

The reason I bought rules and became a real wargamer was because I wanted a properly thought out structure to govern the action instead of just making things up as I went along.

I don't recall them ever announcing a new Nagash, but I do remember a lot of rumour hubub around Storm of Magic that something about Nagash was in the works, which turned out to be the Nagash novels.

They have been talking about it for days over on Warseer...it's Nagash. There is a battle report with him fighting an ARMY in the next White Dwarf. Yes...by himself. He is supposed to cost more than 500 Skaven Slaves...It's been said that it is a campaign, like the Sanctus Reach stuff. But, it's NAGASH!!!
Automatically Appended Next Post: I hope his model looks like the cover of his novel...that would be EPIC!!!

Per Arthurius11 over at warseer. Campaign book and new models incoming.

There will be a battle report in WD, Nagash vs Tomb kings army, Nagash fights them on his own. He is very expensive.
He can be taken in any undead army. Undead are running rampant through the warhammer world and because of this undead units can be taken in any army.
If Nagash is plastic, there are those hoping he comes with an alternative "classic" head

Sounds like Nagash better have a cannon shield or he'll eat it pretty fast. I was more like thinking, shouldn't this have come out before their financials?
Oh, well. It's not Bretonnia,... maybe it's the crazy rumor of Nagash causing a board wipe and we go to a skirmish game, which would be smart. I like Fantasy more than 40k for what it offers, but the army cost is just too much.
Shine on, Kaldor Dayglow!

Ah. Welcome to the Fantasy version of the Malefic Discipline. Unbound Fantasy can't be far off...

Why? The Tomb Kings drove Nagash from Khemri and are a separate army.
Yup, then he poisoned the entire nation and raised them from the afterlife. Admittedly his hold on them slipped but his original plan was to raise them as a gigantic army of the undead, and given GWs disposition for rewriting fluff it's more than possible, though the art style if it is a Nagash does suggest VC. Or maybe they are going to just return to having an undead army instead of VC and TC? Either way there have been various fluff hints at Nagash not being beyond return over the years.

I agree that Undead in any army sounds aweful, however I'm glad they're brining Nagash back, I still have the old mini to paint after giving him a cheek reduction, it'll be interesting to see what his new sculpt looks like.
I'm glad I stopped playing WHFB. I still use the models and parts of the setting that I like for KoW and WFRP. I'll just ignore the stupidity entirely and possibly pick up any cool models, if only to paint.

I really hope they don't mess with the TK fluff! The point with TK is that they are non-evil udead, or rather grumpy "Get off my lawn, you damned kids!" undead.

Some fine additions to your Grey Legions eh? lol
if the models are good enough, they could even get fast-tracked to the front of the Queue.

I could not agree with this more, it was bad enough with Storm of Magic when GW tried to shoehorn as many products as they could into existing armies with a fluff be damned attitude via the binding scrolls.
