While the Guinissbook of Records is a tough contender I do know that Nagash wins the contest for the tallest hat in AoS, 40K and LotR, hands down! Edit: It also seems that the power of Nagash is related to the size of his hat in the artwork. Now it's huge: But when he was close to being defeated by Chaos it was much smaller: This could lead to a very interadesting piece of narrative evolution.

That's... basically the case? This isn't nagash's original body after all. Probably not even close at this point. In the End Times we saw Arkhan perform the ritual to summon him back to life, it involved Nagash's soul, bound to his artifacts of power (most significant among them his crown) possessing the body of a hapless sacrifice. So... yeah. The hat is actually Nagash, and the body is just a corpse that the hat rides around on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikeymajq Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 (Un)Holy macaroni, that joke was on point? Side note. I am super happy with Nagash's alliegance. Can I still take Arkhan or Nefarata in it perhaps? I ordered a start collecting skeleton horde box after reading that article. I already have 20 skellies, 20 grave guard. A wight king, necromancer vampire lord and 5 black knights... and 3 spirit hosts ans a banshee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Killax Posted January 31, 2018 Share Posted January 31, 2018 Yeah as far as I see it you can basically pick whatever. The moment they are listed as a whole faction overall (and likely are) the whole current issue with Allies is completely resolved. But what I do wonder about still is if the GH2017 Allegiance abilities will continue to work in conjunction with this.... I suppose they will actually. So if you arn't that fuzzed about healing/summonning I think you can also pick those options. Which for some armies (Soulblight mainly) still seems like a really relevant option also. In general I think that because the book will list this as a Faction you can use this option to go for Nagash's Legion Allegiance or the others mentioned in GH2017. But to be honest I do think that overall this Allegiance hits so much green lights that it can be viewed as the better option. Cross books, I also think that Flesh-Eater Courts will have some nice benifits out of this. Because the Zombie Dragon without rider certainly seems like a scary opponent to me. It reminds me of the Mournghoul from GH2016 era and a GW variant of that is actually much more accesable for everybody. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So it leaves only Nighthaunt and Flesh eater courts able to use their old allegiances. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which is kind of a shame, as Flesh Eaters are in dire need of some combination battalions like Seraphon and Fire Slyers got in the GHB17. Night haunts need battalions of all kinds. This would have been a great opportunity to give them some. Fingers crossed that the actual malign portents book will give them some love. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In separate generic topics you mean? Well I can understand that argument once the battletome is out, but now, it seems to me that I read the same conversation in 3 different topics. Not that it is a big deal anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree and yeah many topics on the same subject, but it shouldn't be an issue! As above, I would indeed suggest making Let's chat topics the moment it's clear which units are directly available to which faction and how this all plays out, because there are many ways to go with this and it's new for GW to go about it in this way.

I am experiencing the same with Daughters of Khaine (though maybe not quite as pessimistic as you ). I played Dark Eldar in 3rd edition 40k and Dark Elves in 8th ed Fantasy. I was going to use them for AoS but after a year of waiting for support i decided to run with Stormcast. I like the golden boys, but...SNAKE ELVES!
