Oh it'll be plastic. No way they'd make that out of FineCost.

And it looks pretty damned amazing.

You said something positive. Quick, sound the watchmen!

I believe the units behind him are Vampire Counts and not Tomb Kings. His paint and aesthetic don't really resonate as Egyptian style either.

Sweet Jesus that thing is HUGE!

That's the new Nagash right? He looks freaking awesome.

Would it be asking too much that Nagash be a dual kit that makes a plastic Bone Giant?

I always give credit where credit's due. I said many positive things about the Storm Claw thing as well, so much so that I actually bought it.

I'm excited. This is the first time in a loong while I've considered dusting off my Vampire Counts. Nagash returning in all his awesomeness.

Yeah, that Nagash model is really friggin' awesome. Kudos to GW.

Wish I could say the same for my Tomb Kings.

If anyone's going to throw down with the Kingdom Death King, it's that guy. I sure hope he's affordable...

I can tell right now he's going to kick the unliving crap out of the 4 or 5 Bones not-Nagashes we'll see in stores this Christmas.

Probably 140$ like Knights.. If thats affordable then yes it is!

Wait, what? How big is he?

I thought he would be daemon prince sized...

Unless they have him on a hill we can't see. It looks like a wraith Knight size.

Even if he's as tall as a Knight he's much much slimmer so he won't be that expensive.

Aren't we optimistic.

Oh I'm sure there will be a mighty fine price tag on him. Also you have to think he may be able turn into something else with the kit.

Why is he dressed as a dark eldar? Not sure I like this stylistically more than anything, looks like a decent sculpt thou. Bloody massive too.

The paint job is horrible. Way to comicly. He should've been painted in dark glooming colors, not purple

Purple has always been the colour of skeletal baddies. The only thing more appropriate would be lavender.

Okay yeah admittedly, this is a little optimistic... Well see I guess.

I could see it being at least 80 if it only makes the one guy.

...As wary and negative about GW as I am right now, that image just bore right through my cynical street and I had a moment of glee as i wondered on the models size and was impressed by the Detail (I use to be VERY big into undead stuff, so...)

I have to admit... the models sick. and I quite like the paint job on it at that. I am now a lot more intrigued about where this may go. Still cautious, mind. But... just maybe.

No way.

£50 and it's not that big.

....why is he a giant? Wasn't the original model normal-sized?

The original was on a pretty large base too, wasn't he?

And besides, if you were an evil Undead overlord that raises armies of dead guys with but a word, you'd kinda want to be a bit bigger too, eh?

The model loks awesome! I think he'll be in the Treeman-thing price range.

I really like the Nagash model.

The old model is one of the worst GW models i have seen in the 25 years i am in this hobby.

But i bought Vampire Counts twice and sold them again before i even started, so i will not start a 3rd time.
Especially while my Khemri, which i like more, are also still unpainted.

But i like the Nagashcrons idea!
Just by the one model and add them to my Necron! He can always be used as C'Tan.

I'd actually be interested in the fluff on how he got revived this time.

Did Mannfred succeed in sacrificing Aliathra to revive him? That bodes ill for the High Elves.

Maybe another party got involved to keep status quo with the High Elves.

The old one was on a 40mm square? Iirc anway.

Anyway, fluff wise at least, the reason why he is so big, is that, because he is Nehekaran he was bigger than your normal human to begin with, then, to top it off, after becoming a Liche he started eating a gak load of warpstone which made him grow to monstrous proportions, although, I don't recall if it is stated just how monstrous.

Yeah, that's what I was wondering, too!

Maybe the expansion/supplement/campaign book will tell!

Because you cant charge $50+ for a normal sized mini

It's been 15+ years since I bought a WFB model, I'll buy that on launch and if the rules are decent then come 8th edition I'll be back on the WFB train..
