Double Misfire Posted April 30, 2019 Share Posted April 30, 2019 Spoiler Seriously though, "ally" is an interesting choice of word over servant/minion/subordinate/Dark Lords Mortarch if intentional. Nagash has never been the type for making allies, just killing peeps and telling them he owns them now. People Nagash has allied with or treated like equals that I can name off the top of my head are Sigmar's pantheon from the Age of Myth - all accounted for; the Incarnates from the End Times, also mostly accounted for bar Grimgor and the boring fire elf; the skaven waaaay back pre Nagashizzar (we all know how that went down); and at a push Drachenfels. Schematics aside, old WFB stuff seems to be the Anvils of the Heldenhammer's schtik, so it's bound to be a returning character.

Mandzak-Miniatures Posted May 1, 2019 Share Posted May 1, 2019 So what if everyone gets a new power hero from a vault? Would be hilarious if sigmar got Alcadizaar Id prefer Nagash getting dusty ol’ bones back. But I’d be even happier if his long lost and closest ally was skeletal gondolier lol 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twisted Firaun Posted May 1, 2019 Share Posted May 1, 2019 If an old character is returning, I wish it to be either Khalida or Krell. I want more skellies(preferably tomb king ones). 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now that the Anvils of the Heldenhammer are the straight up home of good guy human WFB characters, it would be cool to see more "historical" characters turn up there, Alcadizzar, Magnus the Pious, Bertha Bestrfung, Tancred. I've been umming and ahing about converting up a Stormcast Maruis Leitdorf for months. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seriously though, I think we could see a new Mortarch this year. maybe for deathrattle, I could see a Kemmler/Krell thing going on. Deathrattle already have Arkhan, didnt he recieve that keyword in Legions of Nagash like Mannfred and Neferata gained Soulblight? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joseph Mackay Posted May 1, 2019 Share Posted May 1, 2019 ah i see. ive just checked the warscrolls, interesting that the vampire Mortarchs got the Soulblight keyword whereas Arkhan didnt get Deathrattle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Him having the Deathrattle keyword would be like Thanquol having the Verminus one. If anything Arkhan should be a Deathmage.

Lucky Snake Eyes Posted May 1, 2019 Share Posted May 1, 2019 If it's the return of Vlad (or Isabella for that matter) I'd buy in a heartbeat. I know Vlad is super dead, but that didn't stop nagash from resurrecting him the first time during the end times. As I recall Isabella should be alive though since she should have the von carstein ring. Also didn't one of the recent rumor engines look like a bone construct? What if Krell got turned into a Morghast hero? Now that's a model I'd pay to see! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would be an interesting dynamic consider how in love the two were. I do wonder if the Stormvaults are going to be related in any way to prison escape that Malign Portents ended on since it sounds to be a similar idea, historical characters returning to the Mortal Realms after being freed. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vlad and Karl where broing it up a bit in the end times so it makes you wonder... What would Isabella's mortarch title be? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What would Isabella's mortarch title be? Shadow, inherited from Vlad? When Nighthaunt and 2.0 were first teased everyone had her down as the Mortarch of Grief, which would have been a great fit with a permadead Vlad.

But yeah I guess inheriting shadow would work. I guess that means abyss is also up for grabs if GW ever wants to do undead pirates again. Isabella as the mortarch of shadow could also be an opportunity to give soulblight their own standalone release instead of being a footnote in LoN. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moonlightwolf Posted May 1, 2019 Share Posted May 1, 2019 I'm hoping this turns out to be the return of Krell and comes with a major update to deathrattle to make them more like a nagash following tomb kings army with Krell as their mortarch. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Acid_Nine Posted May 2, 2019 Share Posted May 2, 2019 I really hope it is a new mortarch like Vlad, Harkon or Isabella. Someone very recognizable but not from an oop army. As much as I would like tomb kings back, I don't think it's going to happen yet despite the very Egyptian look of the temples. still, fingers crossed for Abhorash, the first blood knight, to return and lead the soulblight army to greatness! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
