The masquerade of murder returns! A new game of Vampires Amongst Us has begun. Unmask the killers, trust no one, and try to survive the night. Find out more and sign up now!
I wouldn't be overly concerned about balance. True, we are the first, but I'm sure everyone else will get their turn.
Warriors/Daemons/Beastmen of Chaos combined into 1 book is my guess for October.
I raged in the 90's when they split all of our armies, so it's nice to see things coming full circle
Just a heads up, White Dwarf Daily today has a very nice set of videos up demonstrating the eavy metal painting method on nagash, including some very nice ethereal effect and a blending method using medium & washes.
Thank you I will watch those with glee getting more info on techniques are always very nice.!
From the looks of it, 40x60mm monster base.
It's fine, you can raise plenty of friends with Lore of Undeath.
I imagine being a TK player is even more exciting that being us atm :tongue: I mean they can march now. They have plenty of movement 5-7 units that can now march! And necrotect + mortis engines= fucking crazy constructs.
Anyone have any good ideas for TK conversions? I would like to field lol cats, and necro knights, but I don't really want to go too far from the gothic undead feel..

I get the impression that GW has had this planned from before the actual TK book, if you think about it, a reason why they haven't gotten some of the missing or old kits replaced might be that they were planning on making the new kits ascetically fit Tk or VC with bits for either Egyptian dead or Gothic dead...
Of what I've heard of GW's ability to plan, would make that wishful thinking, sadly. But a skeleton dual kit would make sense if a unified undead is the future.. Now give me new zombie models!!
+1
This release would be the perfect time for new zombies. Though given the leaks about the Mortarch bundles shows it uses the current ones, it's clearly not happening. A zombie kit that that matches the corpse cart would probably excite me more than Nagash.
Well one wound gain per casting sucks, everything else is gold.
I aim to please.I literally laughed out loud. Well done
interesting. white dwarf daily?
Mantic zombies ahoy.

Personally, not a fan. Great price for the amount you get, sure, but they're incredibly limited on poses/customisation.
mix them with the ghouls, and they are great. combine that with a little ingenunity (chunks out of arms, etc) and you've got decent variety. add in the dead elf, dwarf, etc markers from other kits and you have unit fillers, etc.

There are no new magic items, each unit and character is restricted to the options in 'their' army book. So, a Tomb King could not pick items from the Vampire Counts armybook.
Except for Crom and Valten - no new rules.
Khalida can be chosen as a Lord in Undead Legions, but has no new rules. No idea if she's a Mortarch.

All the mortarchs have some sort of mortarch special rule, so its safe to say she isn't one. Still no word on kemmler to my knowledge.
there could always be
a section in the army list saying "Add X rule to X model for X points cost"
You would think such a note would have been mentioned on the page listing the available units and the sources there for. The character in question references TK as the source, with no mention of any additional rules within the campaign book, and we haven't heard anything about it from various leaks, while other details are all pretty much set now.
So yes, I think it's safe to say she isn't one of the nine this time around.
I've still got my fingers crossed for Kemmler and Zacharias to get the nod, at least in the fluff, if not in the form of actual rules at this time.

Nagash is reborn into the body of Volkmar. Morgiana le Fay is killed in the process, she's the daughter of the Lady of the Lake, one of the Elves lesser gods - Ladrielle. Nagash's plan wsa to free Shysh from the Vortex and bind it to himself to become an avatar of death, strong enough to challange the Chaos Gods themselves.
Another important sacrifice is Aliathra, supposedly daughter to Finubar and Alarielle. Nagash needs devine blood (Volkmar having that of Sigmar) However, she's not Finubar's daughter, but Tyrions. Therefor Nagash cannot draw upon the strength of Assuryan, but instead inherits the curse of Aenarion. It turns out that Teclis has willingly sacrificed Aliathra to rebirth Nagash into the World to fight Chaos. He's conspireing with someone calling him nephew to destabilize the Vortex.
Elthrarion is slain by Arkhan, along with Bellanaer of Hoeth. The Elven Princess Eldyra is indeed turned into a vampire.

You're damned straight it is!
First of all, they incorporated all the obvious rule changes that could make TK playable. VC march near general, no hierophant, no die on crumble, +1 wound to constructs per casting.
Second, opening up access to VC stuff makes for some pretty wicked combos, even in a TK-dominant army. We make better use of corpse carts than VC do, what with our more static block-dominant style, TG having halberds instead of GW, and the wealth of other buffs (like MWBD) that can make even our core troops fight passably well.
Second, Lore of Vampires + TK is a deadly combo. Healing ushabti back at 1+WL per turn is nuts. As is handing out rerolls like candy. And don't even talk to me about mortis engines. 4+ regen on constructs with a 'tect nearby? Hells yeah! Also lore attribute for Vampires putting wounds back onto my sphinxes. I love it. Tricky part is getting all my toys to fit into one list.
All in all I'm pretty stoked. I expect that my new armylist is going to become a hybrid of my VC/TK lists, with a TK-dominant force (I already use skeletons) cherry-picking some VC stuff for punch (blender lord, for instance).

See Nagash is only trying to do what's best for everyone and get rid of chaos. Can't see why anyone would have a problem with that Forgive me not toup on my elf fluff, curse of aenarion? And is it safe to say that Abby has been killed off or at least written out? That would suck but I suppose resurrecting Vlad mad a lot more sense

Not up on my elf fluff, whats the curse of anerion? and since anerion was the first pheonix king, wouldn't he still be able to draw the strength of asuryan?
My local store almost gave me my books today because they were mixed up on what day of the week it is... 
Anyways, I will have it tomorrow. Lots of reading...

@Pirate Robot Ninja of Death No crumble when our general dies is almost too much. The rest I feel TK deserved already. Construct list look extremely tempting now.. Necro knights with a 3+ 4+? Yes please. Aren't Ushabti constructs though? 
So they would still only get one wound?
As for VC I am happy we get shooting, and ws/hatred buffs are just fantastic. We can now do all cav armies!! And blood knights can be healed by 2-4 wounds with LoUD!!!
Again if anyone have any conversions, or ideas for warsphinxes and necro knights do tell me.
I would like something less egyptian for those models.
