  1. It seems you are all tracking the idea of it being some form of subordinate carrying the coffin. I wondered if the skeletal face we see was more decorative much like say tutankhamun’s sarcophagus and the famous face depiction on it. Also wondered if the subordinate is the narrator and the master that raised the army is the one being carried, more than likely with the hope of resurrection in some form or another through the tithe being collected. But hey all rumours and theories till we know more
  2. Seemed more to me at first glance as if the casket we see the skull peaking from were both being carried from the other side. Kinda like a baby carry backpack, just due to the way the shadows make the position of the arms out of place compared to the skull. But that doesn’t align necessarily with the flat rumour image if they are one one the same *shrug*
  3. Hey even if it is a new death faction that doesn’t have to mean they like or are even willing to work with Nagash one and all. The FEC certainly don’t all want to be best friends with him...
  4. Was just looking through some of the info released and was drawing some threads, that may be tenuous but might paint a picture as to what we're seeing in the last two videos of the reveal; the mentioned underworlds army and the final tithe of bone video. Now you may have to bare with me here but i think some of this lines up so we begin here: <iframe src='https://players.brightcove.net/5778310444001/tEqh4qwjNN_default/index.html?videoId=6061545295001' allowfullscreen frameborder=0></iframe> so the warband has bows and melee weapons It mentions directly that the curse of the Katophrane followed them, guessing Stormcast narrator, out of Shadespire which brings us here: https://whfb.lexicanum.com/wiki/Katophrane read the society section for ticking the box here on the weapons. Next we have old ugly: looks pretty similar to: In design at least this seems too close to not be the same headdress even if it is now a gruesome morph by comparison. So by now i'm pretty confident that the new warband is the Katophranes, as for how this lines up with the tithe of bones video we have this character: https://whfb.lexicanum.com/wiki/Makesh could this be our main contender as who is being portrayed here? Katophrane: yep Wanabe necromancer: yep Potentially twisted by Nagash and brought back to undeath: I can't see why not Smashed by sigmar: ? jury is out on that but i certainly see a big old whole in his narrative that could be exploited and filled as such Escaped from a prison: ? Maybe depends on what you class as a prison, shadeglass? stormvault? death itself? Temple he died in before his soul flew off? <iframe src='https://players.brightcove.net/5778310444001/tEqh4qwjNN_default/index.html?videoId=6061538769001' allowfullscreen frameborder=0></iframe> So in conclusion new army/extension to nagash: Battleome Katophranes + a warband to go with them? Even if the battletome part might be a miss, which for sure i can accept, seems close enough that the warband will be the Katophranes possibly lead by Makesh. But hey it's all speculation here right...
