I haven't skimmed this thread real close, but no one has mentioned the pretty nifty unofficial Tomb Kings Battletome that someone cooked up. I'm really digging the fluff and the rules! They're not good guy undead, but they're close to neutral undead which is a nice shift.

That's probably because Age of Sigmar is my arch nemesis. :cool:

My interest is purely in the models themselves... for 8th edition Warhammer!
 
I'm slowly getting used to AoS. Mainly because it's been too long since I've gotten a real Warhammer game in. Last time I played Warhammer my opponent ROFLstomped me and it was no fun.
 
Maybe, I dunno where it came from otherwise. I haven't been looking at anything fantasy related for a good couple of weeks.

I guess we shall see how accurate your predictive abilities are.
 
I can't understand why TK would have joined Nagash in the first place - they hated Nagash's guts!

I imagined they would have sided with Sigmar to destroy Nagash and in return be given a peaceful death like the spirits in Lord of the Rings.

And that is the reason why. It is better to join the forces of your hated enemy then to fight alongside of Sigmarines.

Nerdy things are things like Magic the Gathering that have no soul or excitement behind them and yet people follow them like soulless Droids.

Warhammer isn't nerdy I feel because in order to properly get into it you need imagination to imagine the epicness of it all - nerds don't use their imagination.

OK...somebody doesn't like the Stormcast Eternals.

They're better than the Blood Angels with their high-and-mighty Sanguinius rubbish...

Nagash wouldn't give the Tomb Kings a peaceful death anyway. He 's a treacherous sod who would use the Tomb Kings for eternity. I feel for the poor Tomb Kings who didn't read the small print...

I think society would very much consider Warhammer to be a geeky hobby. I've walked into enough Games Workshops in my days to confirm that assertion.

This is true. Space Marine overload.

Agreed... but still better than Stormcast!

The TK didn't join Nagash, they were subjugated by him. After Nagash slew Settra and the remaining liche priests, there was nobody left too control the remaining skeletal warriors besides him. I know the TK's skeletons still have their souls within them, but Nagash simply eredicated said souls.

Concerning joining arms with Sigmar, if they could they would have. They allied with the Skaven back in the day too defeat Nagash, when he still was a living breathing human.
 
I think Tomb Kings have a chance of returning too AoS, but with a different name, Unliving Dynasties would be my guess.

Some of their models, such as War Sphinx's and those Snake Stalker's are really freaking good, and even GW would realise it would be a huge loss seeing those disappear forever. GW hopefully also realise how badly people miss the TK, and how much money they could make on a re - realese.

I want to add that Nagash also devoured Usirion, the Nehekheharan God of Death, and gained control over the Tomb Kings that way. Here's the part I'm not clear on and someone can clarify for me: my understanding was after killing Usirion, he stripped the remaining Tomb Kings of their free will and marched them against his enemies on his big purge of the Old World?

Didn't Nagash Kill Usirion when he was still alive, before the End Times? I can't really remember, but when Nehekhehara was still a a land of the living, didn't Nagash consume all of the Nehekheharan gods, and therefore ruin the afterlife for all Nehekheharan's?

That makes sense - I'm not much of an expert on the End Times because I've only got the Thanquol book for the Skaven rules and I only knew that the Lizardmen, although they slaughtered the Skaven, couldn't stop Morrsleib landing on them and blowing them to kingdom come so the Slann departed, and that the Dwarf and Skaven characters kept on killing each other - Queek killed Belegar, only to be killed by Thorgrim who was then stabbed in the back by Deathmaster Snickh. Oh, and a Verminlord Deceiver beheaded Valten.

I was really sad that they killed off Thorgrim right at the end of Thanquol - he would have been a much better 'god among mortals' than poxy Alarielle who didn't deserve to survive.

Although they didn't kill off Ungrim Ironfist because he became the Avatar of Flame through the blessings of Grimnir - I'm hoping they'll release him as a brand-new massive plastic special character for the Fyreslayers, perhaps mounted on a really ancient Magmadroth or something.
