Ok someone has to explain to me why that Settra guy is so iconic. I know he is a Tomb Kings hero but not much more.
Because Settra does not serve. Settra rules. Settra is the king of kings when it comes to Tomb Kings.
Quote from LEXICANUM because I'm lazy The End Times Settra and his forces were on the verge of defeating Nagash's armies when Nagash revealed himself. Nagash, now a true god of death, was far too strong for Settra's armies who were obliterated by his dark magics. Settra alone was left to face the Usurper but without the blessings of Usirian to protect him was swiftly overpowered. Nagash gave honor to Settra and offered him a place as one of his Mortarchs, to which Settra replied; "SETTRA DOES NOT SERVE... SETTRA RULES!" Nagash responded to this arrogance by dismembering Settra before leaving his head half buried in the sand, helpless to do anything but watch as Nagash's forces razed Khemri to the ground. After an unknown amount of time Settra was offered the chance for revenge by the Chaos Gods. He was restored in exchange for agreeing to slay Nagash in their name. To this end he traveled north and joined the armies of Archaon at Middenheim. He earnt his place by defeating Kholek Suneater in a battle that lasted four days and flattened much of the forest surround Middenheim. When the united forces of the incarnates attacked Middenheim to try to stop Archaon from destroying the world Settra confronted Nagash during the final battle. He pointed his khopesh at Nagash, and called him a usurper before leaping towards him. Infact instead of attacking Nagash Settra beheaded a Chaos daemon that was about to attack Nagash from behind. He explained to Nagash that, "NOBODY COMMANDS SETTRA." He told Nagash he would claim his skull eventually, but only after killing the Chaos Gods for daring to offer him immortality and the chance to conquer all realities in exchange for servitude. He then charged into battle against the Chaos armies by himself. He was last seen battling the endless hordes of Chaos as the world was consumed. Basically, Settra is the undead embodiement of badass
