Not exactly. think of the ring of power from LoTR. Nagash has bound part of his power in the books, hence they A) are still around after several thousand years) and B) they allow him to reconstruct himself because a part of his soul is still in the corporeal world.

So..basically...Nagash is Voldemort?

Is the female Vampire supposed to be Neferata ?

Yes. Except he wasn't thwarted by the power of love.
So that makes him a better villain, imo.

So I guess we won't be seeing a Necrolith Colossus for the Tomb Kings then. Sad times!

BUT I do like what I'm seeing so far. Not to keen on Mannfred's horse, but I like everything else.

Yep. Better start painting skeletons. *sigh*

Cmon, human flesh tomes trope?

That has been around nigh on 20 years.

Painting skeletons is easy.

1) Spray paint white
2) Splash Earthshade
3) ???
4) Profit!

I have, that's the joke. GW hijacking another trope for their own super awesome mega fluff and lacking the subtlety to pull it off.its like what do bad guy wizards do? Write necromancy in blood on human flesh! Radical!

I still like skull horses. Nagash would require kit bash parts, so $100 is a bit much for that. Am curious about the rules. I am further sad that this isn't Bretonnia.

Stage three would be a white or bone drybrush. and stage two takes too long, use a dip. *experience*

It's not redundant, but they were posted here on Dakka first...

Look harder..

What's with bone beard and bone tendrils? Chaos mutations? High hat?

In a way, it does sort of make sense.
Parchment was made from dried animal skin, after all, and what better material for a tome of necromancy than human skin?
The neat thing about parchment, is that it is also more durable than paper. Harder to write on though.

Although now we know for sure the female is Neferata

Don't worry about it. Just TheKlot finding something else to complain about.

Spirit hosts and various ghosty things on other models I like very much and Manfred/male vamp as he seems to be the only one not wearing something ridiculous on his head. Seriously, what the hell is that on the female vamp?! It's a damn shame because she looks to have the best sculpted female face GW have put out in years and although you can see cleavage it doesn't appear gratuitous. Dare I say she looks quite realistically proportioned? Apart from the neck, that should be of an unnatural thickness in order to support the whatever it's supposed to be on her head.

Cool to see some new monsters, but are they all levitating?

I think I may actually model my Nagash without the hat and beard.

Yeah, I think that it makes sense. Writing your shopping list on human flesh would be stupid, but if you're a necromancer creating an item that binds your soul to the material world, using dead people as reagents makes more sense than just writing the right bad words.

She's a vampire, she could punch you through a wall, I don't think neck muscle strength is an issue for her.

not worrying. Like i said, Nagash is the only character in WHFB that I Fanboy over.

So are we correct in guessing that Nagash 'n friends are going to have access to Tomb Kings, Vampire Counts AND his own special undead units?

I really hope so.

Name calling is cute!

I get the concept, but seeing nine books "float" around the model seems a bit much. Its just extra bits unless the ghostly whisps are slotted for them. I'm sorry if breaking down a model's composition is perceived as complaining.

Geez. Well good thing I've already got a NiB necrosphinx lying around...


At any rate, I'm a bit disappointed that I feel like I've got ZERO justification for the LE army book. I didn't pick up the Space Wolves Long Fang Edition, but I gave it serious thought and you know why? Objective markers. Seriously. I'm new to Space Wolves, so that's what ultimately made the decision for me. For the same price with the Nagash special edition, what am I getting? Maybe it will look super duper awesome...

It is when it's a GW model. That's the rules, right?

Hyperbole, chap. I know Warhammer vamps are crazy strong, I was simply trying to emphasise how bewildering I found the design choice.

No, you're fine. I meant the other individual intentionally misspelling my name as an act of ad hominem.

I did read on Nagash, makes sense per the story I knew from the Skaven book. Its cool if they're artifacts, but it just looks odd hovering around him. Its not quite the "how's a wolf sled practical for the battlefield" level of silly, it just sticks out.

Necrons. Just paint the bone parts like metal.
