The Hammurai have a Nehekaran culture, as they were the Heralds of Ptra(the Nehekaran god of the Sun).

They did it with Bullgryns as well... a Bullgryn is just an Ogryn with different equipment, did it really need an entirely separate unit entry just so you can say the box can make 2 different units?
I know it's only a small thing but for some reason it's something that gets on my nerves 
This really annoys me too especially with the bigger kits when you're left with a ton of bits which are basically useless.
The coven throne is ok as you can use the banshees so if you want to run more than one you have variations. You can also use the necromancer on foot with a bit of slicing & dicing. I do wish that they'd make a unit box for the wraiths as there is only 1 model now so a unit looks really rubbish.
They really need to redo the zombies now too as they look awful compared to the rest of the undead, more so if you line them up next to a corpse cart...
I'm the opposite. I love spare bits, and with a bit of creativity, or a cheap purchase you can usually repurpose them for a great conversion or even more models... As for the wraiths, pick up the Mantic Wraiths. They're decent models, cheap, and they work well for the unit. Unless you only play in GW stores, or have an OCD about all of your figures coming from GW, they're perfect for the role.
I happen to like pretty much all of this Nagash wave of models, so I'm sure I'll end up with all of them eventually.

Well played GW, well played.
It would be awesome though, if they went further with these, uh, Hammurai, and their origin culture, if any.
Expansion in to asian culture (other than OK) would be a nice addition to Fantasy.
They're not 'samurai inspired'. They're basically aasimar for those familiar with Dungeons & Dragons. They're servants of Ptra, the Nekeharan God of Light.
In layman's terms, they're angels.

I realise that... now. 
I dont know anything about them, just saw they were called Hammurai, and thought the square overlapping armour plates, halebards and even the helmets by a stretch, looked inspired by samurai armour.
Thank for the information.

Well that can't be right, because GW said themselves that their designers don't take inspiration from anywhere other than their own imaginations! (Which have never been sullied any any other, inferior products )
