Warhammer, The End Times is noted to contain new rules that change the way a game of Warhammer can be played. It is not a new edition.

Releases:

Warhammer: Nagash - 2 hardback books in a slip case. €65

Book 1: 296 page fluff book detailing the return of Nagash and events that affect every Warhammer race.

Book 2: 96 page book containing rules for Nagash, new miniatures, the Lore of Undeath, Undead Legion, fighting underground and more apparently.

Nagash - no mention of him being a dual kit, rules are included in the box. €85(!!)

Magic Cards

Nagash Novel

What the background in the WD tell us:
- I hope you didn't like Kislev, because there is no longer a Kislev.
- Archaon advance have been stalled by Vlad under the order of Nagash (the Empire was in major trouble).
- Nagash goes fighting to unite the Tomb Kings and VC (one of the scenario pictured in WD translate into "the Fall of Settra").

Regarding miniatures/rules:
- Nagash is magnificent, and very very tall thanks to his flying posture (he is supported by a bunch of souls).
- But he's not that massive overall, I have no idea how he managed to reach the 85€ pricetag.
- Not a dual kit.
- No other models that week, but the ones serving under him are hinted at the end of WD for the week after (so I suppose Vlad and that Arkhan dude, note that I know the WFB lore very poorly).
- As people expected, the new magic lore appear to work like Demonology for 40k (except with undead).
- Rules are changing with that extension, 50% lords for example.

is it possible that you mean manfred and not vlad?

Manfred looks pretty damn awesome himself tbh! I'm gonna be poor for a few months methinks

[Wilfen82]

I think they look amazing, but very thin I'd be worried bout it breaking. I'm hoping for a few more feral style vampires with any luck.

50% Lords allowance puts the 1000pt cost for Nagash in a new perpective. I think it will be tough, there are at best like 5 armies who can even try to match a 2000pt army containing Nagash, just with the extra Lord points. But let's see what other aspects change within this campaign.

All those models look really good, but the one that has me excited is the spirit host - as a lover of all things floaty and weird, they fit the bill very well! Love them and will definitely buy them.

So not just Nagash, but by the looks of it we get a new Mannfred too and also Arkhan the Black, Spirit Hosts, those Morghast things and what looks to be Neferata also (female rider sat side saddle on horse/construct). And they all look really impressive.

I reckon Arkhan/Neferata is a dual kit as the mount for both looks very similar. I love the look of the mount that Mannfred is riding and those Morghast Harbngers look suitably vicious.

What the background in the WD tell us:
- I hope you didn't like Kislev, because there is no longer a Kislev.
- Archaon advance have been stalled by Vlad under the order of Nagash (the Empire was in major trouble).
- Nagash goes fighting to unite the Tomb Kings and VC (one of the scenario pictured in WD translate into "the Fall of Settra").

Yeah Kislev has always been teetering on the brink of annihilation, not at all surprised to see it finally get destroyed. I doubt it is Vlad that's been sent north given that he's been dead & gone for a long time, I'd reckon that's Mannfred checking Archaon's advance. Not surprised to see Settra either destroyed or humbled either, given that in the current Tomb Kings book he could only narrowly beat Arkhan whenever they clashed, against Nagash & Arkhan (and possibly Neferata as well) he'd have no chance.
