End Times; Nagash - Spoilerific discussion.

In terms if casualties: what's interesting is that yes, it's obviously a clearout of old characters who don't have models, but it's also more than that. As Volkmar (and perhaps others...) show, having a recent model isn't actually a protection against death. As Mystery says, there's a good mix of things you see coming, and things you absolutely don't. Can't wait for book two. Want. Now.

Isthere much new art?

[Mr Mystery]

Honestly? Hard to tell.....

There certainly seems to be, but also a 'thank you' to Mythic at the beginning of the book, so some I regard as being new may be simply recycled form a source I'm not familiar with.

This really is several hundred pages of win!

My knowledge of Warhammer art isn't encyclopedic, but there's a pleasing amount of stuff that is new to me, as well as old classics. All the Mortarchs and Nagash have at least one big character portrait illustration, there are big impressive pieces showing the resurrection ritual, and of course the lovely one of Settra and Nagash's confrontation. One of the striking things is that there's art everywhere in the book; it's in the background of pages, it's around the text, it's in big spreads. It's a lovely design.

There could've been more new art, but what's there is great, and the selections from past art are nice.

The art is from a variety of sources, from old army book covers to box art for regiment sets, to character designs from Warhammer Online (yes!)

Well the ritual is probably new.

Is there an explanation as to why Aliathra is still alive? Usually when yo usacrifice someone to bring back the Big Bad they die. Not complaining.

Well, I'm on page 110, just before the ritual and she's still kicking.

Whether she is part of that ritual, or just the bone wall ritual protecting Sylvania, I don't know yet!

[eldargal]

Boo, she'll probably end up dead then.><

Morgiana Le Fay just bought the farm.......
