Don't get me wrong, her body and chair look great, but for me, I probably wouldn't even use her and would be not worth my time, especially since I have already pre ordered Mannfred and Arkhan already
Well that's just you, man. I think she would look better with her hair or something like antler crown (watching too much true detective :tongue
Hmm not liking it atm, maybe when I've seen the model some more and put the kit together. But I'll give you that a smaller head might look of looking at the model in it's entirety.
The best part about the kit is that swapping characters looks very doable.
EDIT:
All of the Dread abyssals are named. Does anyone know the base size looks like a 50x75?

I was under the impression mortarchs was a triple kit. I saw on gw you order the one you want, but if you flip through pics the others show too, and the sprue seems to have them all, or at least all mount versions?
It's the new website. All of their multi-kits are listed more than once. They then showcase the one you've chosen, 360 view of only that model build. The kit does indeed build all three. Even says so in the description.
Arkhan is my favorite, but I think all three look great, especially like the hats. I am worried about fragility of these models, though, even more than with nagash. That's some bulky monsters balanced on some skinny tails, there. If I can ever scrounge up the money to get one, I'll have to look into doing some sort of scenic base that will offer a bit more stability. Flying over a gnarled tree? Or a mausoleum from the garden of morr, perhaps? Maybe just pick up an extra spirit host, and add some more ghosty bits to provide more contact points?
I'm not interested in the dread abyssals, but from the sprue pics all of the rider bits look great. I don't think it would be that hard to repurpose them. Neffy for example: Her torso and arms are separate components, as is her head. Thus you can find a suitable lower half and head, but keep the sexy gothic posture collar and shawl. Likewise with Manny's breastplate & cloak, they he may need some cutting away of where the legs join.
And they all fit in your rare allowance!
1. The main thing to remember is that VC and TK CANNOT take Nagash; This is a brand new army called Legions of Undead, that borrows from both TK and VC. So if you play an Undead Legions army, completely forget about VC or TK rules, except for Unstable, apparently. To answer some of your other questions...
2. It is strongly suggested to take LoV because it has (better) wound regeneration, especially for characters. As far as NEED, yes. As far as HAVE TO, no. You can combine the lores however you like. in the WD batrep, Nagash player said he should have taken LoV, which means you don't have to take any specific lore. However, Nagash HAS to tak Ryze-the Grave Call as one of his rules.
6. I haven't seen any unit changes, but have seen character changes, like Arkhan, Mannfred, and Krell. There may be others.
8. I don't know if the Hierotitan stacks becaue I don't play TK, but the ME does stack for at least Regen, and I would say that also does.
Amend: I thought that I posted this long ago, but apparently not. So it's not really ninja, as FAIL. Hope at least something is relevant.

Is there any info on the rules for the three mortarchs besides them having a combined stat line with their mounts?

There was a Spanish leak earlier and there are some loose translations on page 17 of this thread.

Also, some people were talking about the trouble reconciling the aesthetics of the Tomb kings with the gothic looks of Vampire Counts... I think I've hit upon an idea that will help make my Tomb King's more gothic looking and fit more into my VC look. It will be quite a project but I intend to add robes to them (a la Dark Angels marines). It's not completely out of order that TK would wear robes, and robes almost by nature are gothic, particularly in a monastic style. My TK troops I intend to be Rasetran, so I hope to sculpt them with scales, and use Cold Ones for the chariots. I intend to go archer heavy as VC have no shooting whatsoever. Plus a standard RYZE has just enough pts limit to raise a unit of 8-10 archers.

All these new hats look the same! They are not anything special and they look this stove pipes with bones
and I have to agree that they look really unbalanced, I will be doing the same as you with a scenic base and a different pose for them!
I also got my book this afternoon but took a different approach to Malisten and still half way through the background book.
For those that asked earlier Mortarchs are not another name for the 9 Dark Lords. The Dark Lords were his old servant of which only Arkhan, Krell and Neferata exist and also became part of the new Mortarch fellowship.

WTF?! Teclis gives up Tyrion's daughter?!! That's absurd. He loves his brother. GW...what a bunch of %^$#@ lore breakers! And who is Eldyra?
My local store got them in yesterday and said that I had to "wait" until Friday (today). I don't know what sort of elven magic they worked, but I am not one to argue about those sorts of things...
Anybody found a way they've reconciled my question about the Books? The books make him cast 9 spells, correct? Acrually, lemme just quote it:
Return of Nagash was great! Not only do we see POV from Vampires but others from Elves to Skaven.
We also get alot of Vampire lore.
Especially concerning the age and identities of both Vlad and Mannfred...it seems he never trusted Neffy and tried to warn Ushoran.
It seems to indicate Zacharias the Everliving may be Wsoran and that Abs was the one to seal at least Nagash's staff in Bretonnia.
