Charles Posted June 22, 2018 Share Posted June 22, 2018 Really interesting story but there is obviously something they are not telling us still, as we know Nagash didn’t win. Something goes wrong, can’t wait to find out what ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charles Posted June 22, 2018 Share Posted June 22, 2018 I have White Dwarf but haven’t read that bit yet. Also ordered the book. I think I will wait for the book before tucking into it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ar-Pharazôn Posted June 22, 2018 Share Posted June 22, 2018 I hope they publish these all into a single book. "Tales of the Malign Portents" or something. Even having read them, it'd be quite nice to have, and it is essentially an extended prologue to Soul Wars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Usual 'we will pass it on' response, which is social media operator speak for- we only know what they tell us. But I'm hoping with enough people bugging them, we will see a hardback books with the stories and art from this campaign. Some of the short stories have been amazing and I'd like to read them all, it's just I dont tend to read stories on websites, I'd rather sit down with a book. I felt the MP rulebook was very nice but very light on content and a a second book would kind of make up for that and make a nice book end to the end of this era of AoS.

michu Posted June 26, 2018 Share Posted June 26, 2018 So that moon really was Morrslieb. And all of those strange phenomenons were Nagash's fault. And there is one lesson in this story - you should never ignore children of the Great Horned Rat. Really good ending for excellent narrative arc.

Gorks Pokin' Finger Posted June 26, 2018 Share Posted June 26, 2018 Once again, Nagash's true arch enemy ruins his plans for world domination. You would think after the first two times that the skeleton pope would have kept some mouse traps around for this specific occasion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dragobeth Posted June 26, 2018 Share Posted June 26, 2018 Time to build a Skaven army just to make my Nagash-fan friend mad. Good thing I still have the old Skaven vs HE box from WFB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bloodmaster Posted June 26, 2018 Share Posted June 26, 2018 Damn, pretty good as an end to half a year of stories and lead-ups. I like how the horned rats ninjas corrup Nagash grand work. Very skaven-like, nice concepts for an upcoming stealth army, and some what meta to the whole the Rat isn't a full Chaos god but a minor anoyance in the holy pantheon of the great four. So and now, all to the Ecto-1, cue the theme song: "If theres something strange in the neighbourhood....." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sandlemad Posted June 26, 2018 Share Posted June 26, 2018 This is almost harsher for Nagash than the last two times the skaven foiled his plans. Giving Alcadizzar the felblade and then planting bombs in the last black pyramid were both deliberate, carefully orchestrated acts. This was just teams of Eshin operatives getting inside and randomly stealing shiny things. Good story though, particularly liked Nagash's mental checklist of insolent fools who tried to stop him.

MacDuff Posted June 26, 2018 Share Posted June 26, 2018 So with the pyramid sinking into the ground, is Nagash's citadel destroyed? It also sounded like the undead wave the funky pyramid sent out raised the dead everywhere, but not necessarily under Nagash's control. Did I read that right? Finally, I think every army attacking Nagash got made (un)dead. Does that give us hope for undead of all races now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clan's Cynic Posted June 26, 2018 Share Posted June 26, 2018 Skaven being used as a Diabolus Ex Machina again? Yawn. And yeah, 'the soul of every living creature for hundreds of leagues was wretched free from it's body' definitely implies those attacking the city didn't make it. Whether the Stormcast got dragged back by Sigmar or the spell was powerful enough to wretch them back into Nagash's grasp (like the Nighthaunt Jailer can) is another story.

michu Posted June 26, 2018 Share Posted June 26, 2018 Quote Skaven being used as a Diabolus Ex Machina again? Yawn. At least it was made in really funny fashion. Nagash was so arrogant bragging about outsmarting his opponents and then a little surprise happened: Khorne - check Nurgle - check Tzeentch - check Sigmar - check Aelven gods - check Gorkamorka - check Great Horned Rat - che..oops!! EDIT: I also wanted to say that being consdered upstarts is good for us, yes-yes. No one is taking us-us seriously and then inevitable happens.
