punkycloud Posted May 22, 2018 Share Posted May 22, 2018 Hi, the new Legions of Nagash book got me thinking about returning back to my fantasy roots. Ive come up with 2 2000 lists and need a little guidence: List1 Nagash, Arkhan, 2 morghast, 2 morghast, 4 morghast. This list is a heavy elite list, very mobile and few models to paint List2 Nagash, Arkhan, necromancer, 40 skeletons, 2 morghast, 2 morghast Similar to List1 but with big unit of skeletons for board control / tar pitting though more painting Both lists are magic focused with nagash and arkhan doing alot of the heavy lifting. Morghasts look great and will do alot of the physical punching. Thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jobume Posted May 22, 2018 Share Posted May 22, 2018 Hi! Both lists look really cool. You can never go wrong with skeletons. They are great tarpits, and can even be a hammer against lightly armoured foes if they get to attack with full numbers. Gravesites and invocations also make them surprisingly mobile, since you can string out your revived skeletons to go grab objectives or just bog down your enemies and control the board. Skeletons are the best! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
punkycloud Posted May 23, 2018 Author Share Posted May 23, 2018 Ha, thanks for the help. Gonna make a start on the units that are in both lists then make a decision on if I want to paint 40 skeletons. First up is the big man himself nagash, looking forward to painting him up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeneralZero Posted May 24, 2018 Share Posted May 24, 2018 How long does it take to paint nagash? same question for 40 skelies just to have an idea of what is ahead of me in this pile of new boxes that I recieved yesterday... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Euphanism Posted May 24, 2018 Share Posted May 24, 2018 Nagash is a ton of fun to paint, he's been one of my favorite ones so far. Plus, if you match his color scheme to the morghasts and Arkhan, you'll have a pretty great looking elite force. I'd be interested to see how a mostly-elite death army does, since all the ones I see around here are focused on giant piles of skeletons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It depends on your speed and the level of detail you want. For me, Nagash took about two nights of dedicated painting, so around 8-10 hours. Hes a big model with lots of fun stuff to pick out, so I honestly could have spent another night on him easily. Skeletons are actually really quick, especially if you basecoat them with the bone color you're going to use. Basecoat, add color to cloth and silver to the steel, then wash the whole thing. Of course you can go back and make them look more weathered or add drybrush effects, but it'll be table ready either way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skeletons I think I could quickly get out 10 over 2-3 nights with airbrush. Nagash is probably going to take a week or 2 for me. Centre piece models I tend to go all out on. 9 hours ago, Euphanism said: Nagash is a ton of fun to paint, he's been one of my favorite ones so far.

All might change with new addition coming out before I finish but the base of nagash, arkhan and some morghasts should be reasonably fixed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
punkycloud Posted June 28, 2018 Author Share Posted June 28, 2018 Thought I'd share some progress pics for my legions list as just finished my Nagash. Took a bit longer than expected but very happy with how it turned out. Also chuffed he's almost half of my list points total Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeneralZero Posted June 28, 2018 Share Posted June 28, 2018 Well done on your Nagash! I hope that I'll be able to do the same when I assemble it (still in its box atm). Did you follow the GW 4 parts tuto? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
punkycloud Posted June 28, 2018 Author Share Posted June 28, 2018 As a general guide yeah tho did deviate a little, really helpful to identify what can be subassembled and painted Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sception Posted June 28, 2018 Share Posted June 28, 2018 Lists look ok, but you'll want to look into some of the endless spells from the mzlign sorcery box, in particular umbral spellportal for 60 points. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, was looking to include portal and something else with the new endless spells as had some points spare. Any preference between lists? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Comes to 1950, if drop Necromancer then it's 1840 (portal and purple sun) if drop skeletons down the 30 it's 1910 (portal and grave tide) thoughts?

punkycloud Posted June 28, 2018 Author Share Posted June 28, 2018 Any legs in running 30 chainrasps in stead of skeletons, quicker fly and seem to work better in smaller units whereas skeletons probably need a 40 block. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
