Whitefang Posted May 25, 2019 Share Posted May 25, 2019 Since in the story it’s clearly a elemental monster of deathly energy and old servant of Nagash, my bet is on some Death OC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And gods are more abstract they are like a collection of energy able to move and change, as such all of them has to be destroyed for them to truely die. eg as long as there is urgold Grimnir still exists as that is what his energy has coalesced into How is Be'lakor an old ally of Nagash? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rogue Explorator Posted May 25, 2019 Share Posted May 25, 2019 It seems clear that aside from the eight gods (maybe nine, depending on how Teclis is counted) of the Realms and the gods of Chaos, there are, or at least at some point where, possibly countless lesser gods in the Mortal Realms. Sadly we only have bits and pieces about them. We know from the lore on the gods of Death that for the most part these are raised through belief. This does pose an interesting question to cases such as Morrda. Are gods that resemble or are even identical with gods from the world that was survivors, where they ressurected or are they completely new beings produced by the belief of survivor from the world-that-was? Whichever it is, it doesn't seem to work for the original aelven deities, seeing how Mathlann and Khaine remain dead despite a strong base of worshipper. In Khaines case that might be because of Morathi, but Mathlann is deader than dead as the Idoneth aknowledge. We know there where a lot of minor Death gods and Nagash killed and absorbed most of them. We also know other minor gods where around. In some cases godsbeasts are acual gods as well (like Dracothion). It was never stated outright, but imo it's implied that at least some of the great monsters slain by Sigmar, Grimnir and Gorkamorka in the age of myths might have been less pleasant gods. Most minor gods are propably gone after the age of Chaos, but at least a few might still be around. I guess they can be ressurected. The Hedonites Battletome has an interesting tidbit about a Pretender Keeper of Slaanesh trying to ressurect and wed a dead Godess of Plenty to spawn demigods. 4 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In Souls war from J Reynolds there’s a good description of minor deities including the myth of a cat queen spirit that reincarnates or something like that. From the malign portents we know that there were many Death minor gods absorbed by Nagash and at least one was hidden until a Stormcast brought Nagash right at his doorstep 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In Khaines case that might be because of Morathi, but Mathlann is deader than dead as the Idoneth aknowledge. Perhaps if the Idoneth actually believed that Mathlann was still a live God, then that belief would become self-fulfilling. As it is, he remains dead because they believe he is dead. Belief can work both ways. I don't think that the main Gods - those that are the embodiment of a Realm - require belief from mortals for their existence, although their strength may wax and wane accordingly. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riavan Posted May 26, 2019 Share Posted May 26, 2019 It's clearly going to be skeleton jack, king of the pumpkin patch. I too hope it's a new aos oc. Don't need more old world links. Make new stuff. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Epix Posted May 26, 2019 Share Posted May 26, 2019 If GW wants to bring back Tomb Kings, this old ally of Nagash could by one who joined him during the Ends of Time such as Haptmose or Ankhmare. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Overread Posted May 26, 2019 Share Posted May 26, 2019 Hopefully! Be great for AoS to get back on Battletome Track! Also considering all the contrast paint update this week I'm guessing we'll see them up for preorder this weekend so that they'd basically go on sale right at the start of June.

My guess is contrast paints, Generals handbook and hopefully sylvaneth stuff in the first few weeks of June. 40k stuff for the last part of June, beginning of July followed by Warcry to kick off a great summer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
