I think we are looking at the beginning of the narrative that will ultimately lead to Nagash losing his complete dominion over Death. I thought of Malerion, but that’d also make sense! Anyway, very cool story! Edited February 17, 2021 by LuminethMage 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The most plausible - A Soublight vampire lord wants to assassinate Nagash which could mean death civil war. Bonus theory - Clan Eshin will get sth out of a BR book 😛 !

Samukai Posted February 17, 2021 Share Posted February 17, 2021 Lord of shadow. Cloaked in shadows. Sits upon a throne. Hulking winged body. Works with Clan Eshin who are known to operate in Ulgu. THIS IS MALERION. We have the first idea of his intentions, very exciting stuff. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you read all the story the manners of the shadow-lord is more like an animal, growling and being ready to attack their prey. That is clearly a vampire description. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gwyn chan 'r Gwyll Posted February 17, 2021 Share Posted February 17, 2021 Malerion has changed so much, he could have become animalistic and growl-y in his new form? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is clearly a vampire description. I disagree. I think Malerion is half dragon/demon/beast and the description fits well. I would not describe a vampire as a "winged monstrosity" and i dont think that getting skaven to assassinate sigmar (seemingly) would be something they would do, at all. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The impossible to destroy and to end the eternal is clearly a reference to kill Nagash. He is the Death, and you can't kill the death. He is the Eternity because he can give you the immortality. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drcrater Posted February 17, 2021 Share Posted February 17, 2021 Hm, a winged shadow figure, working with chaos agents? Maybe it's because I badly want a new epic model for him, but damn if this sounds like Belakor. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I read, I thought of Malerion (but not wanting to assassinate Sigmar I was thinking maybe destroying the forge or a key structure in azyr to prevent the Stormcasts from being reforged) but as I read your comments, vampires seems also likely to help introduce the soulblights narratively because why would malerion work with skavens, don't he has his own assassins ?... Also killing the eternal being a reference to Nagash also makes sense !! Arrrrg what a great story with interesting possible consequences !

I did at first but he basically mentions Nagash by name calling him "The Necromancer" so if that is who he meant he would have said that i imagine. Also the use of eternal to describe stormcast eternals seems about right. If he is working with Morathi she has just taken one of Sigamrs cities which might be part of their grander initiative/plan. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not going to lie, but I would derive a certain amount of satisfaction from the Stormcast Eternals becoming the Stormcast Temporaries. 1 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nezzhil Posted February 17, 2021 Share Posted February 17, 2021 You are forgetting the Mortach of the Shadows. Shadow is not always Malerion, a lot of creatures lives and hunt in the shadows and they are lords of the shadows too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ragest Posted February 17, 2021 Share Posted February 17, 2021 So so so interesting how this is written, because you can think that a vampire wants to kill nagash or that malerion is looking for stormcast, both stories fit. Amazing piece. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Televiper11 Posted February 17, 2021 Share Posted February 17, 2021 Squatting the rules for the Rogue Idol, Troggoth Hag, and Dread Saurian would be a real blow for those armies. I’d hate to see it happen. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d hate to see it happen. I think it would be more interesting if we would get GW-Modells instead for the forgeworld units. It would be more accessable and the chance that we would get some lore would be higher than with forgeworld. I would have added a Troggoth Hag or some Squig Gobbas already, if they were GW instead of Forgeworld. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
