Subject: 'Malign Portents' - 2018 Age of Sigmar Event
Dark powers stir in the Mortal Realms. Malign Portents is a major event for Warhammer Age of Sigmar players, and it’s on the way in 2018. There will be big things coming both for the narrative of the setting and for matched play gamers.
There will be new models on the way for this release too, the first of which we can show you today. Introducing – the Knight of Shrouds:
It’s been a little while since we’ve seen a new Death model for Warhammer Age of Sigmar. Patience is rewarded though – we hadn’t forgotten about you. Alongside this Herald of Nagash, each of the other three Grand Alliances will also be getting a powerful new hero.

Perhaps I will finally have a reason to crack nagash out of the box. Since this dude is the "herald of nagash" I assume deathlords? Still I need that model.

Pity you'll have to buy nine of them though.
Because everyone knows that AoS is all about the 9 Nagash Nihilism!

Very classical and tasteful model indeed. It manages to retain the old LoTR wraiths feeling while being in tone with the AoS theme. To be honest some of the latest GW releases weren't to my tastes (overlords, snail rider, stormcast vanguard infantry), but this one is a tenner in my book by any means.

Gods, I want that Death Model SO bad, and I don't even play Death. That may change though, I had my eyes on the Shadespire skeletons for D&D too
And the "Alternate Ironjawz" oooh mama, GW really knows how curbstomp my wallet.

My first love is undead and I am sitting on a massive undead army that I've had since 5th edition. I have over 200 skeletons just waiting to come out and exploit their current slot as one of the best units efficiency wise in the game.
So this is perfect for me.

Portents: "a sign or warning that something, especially something momentous or calamitous, is likely to happen."
Malign: "evil in nature or effect; malevolent."
So something very evil in nature that will be calamitous is coming? Oh god....the End Times are happening again!

Haha, AoS End Times already happened with the Age of Chaos.
I'm hearing people say Death and Slaanesh are gonna be the focus next year so I'm thinking Nagash is finally making his move and that rumored global campaign for Slaanesh is incoming.
My knightly hosts of the realm kingdoms and noble knights of the honored dead will make sure it doesn't escape.
