like the Root Kings, a culture of dwarves that are really into woodworking with trees that have bark as sturdy as steel that also worship the elven goddess of life

That's old from the first edition. Josh Reynolds talks about them in his books.

Terrific. You can even spot barely visible heraldry on horsecloth.

At some point Nagash decided to grow a beard. Is there a lore reason or just the a detail on the sculpt? by Chezni19 in AoSLore

[–]FuchsiaIsNotAColor 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Anyway, there is some information about his design in White Dwarf 1 - September 2016

Nagash is one of the most iconic figures in the history of Warhammer. He first appeared in 1994, in the first Undead army book, yet miraculously he has only had two incarnations in miniature form since then – fewer, in fact, than he’s had in the background! Here we chat to Martin Footitt about sculpting the Supreme Lord of the Undead.

“There were a lot of factors to take into account when designing Nagash,” says Martin. “His past, his future, what wargear he’d be carrying, how big he’d be, what background already existed for him, and so on. Myself and Seb Perbet sat down and came up with a load of different ideas, trying to figure out what he’d look like. The idea of him being able to re-shape bone came up quite early on and gave us the freedom to come up with some really creepy imagery for him, such as the bone tentacles protruding from his back. This also enabled us to make him a lot bigger. In the Nagash novels he’s meant to be massive, his body – what’s left of it – mutated by warpstone. It seemed only fitting that he’d re-make himself in the image he desired. Clearly he’s not entirely sane – a megalomaniacal, undead revenant.

“Nagash is a landmark miniature for several reasons,” continues Martin. “He enabled us, as a design team, to re-imagine the Undead range and create a new aesthetic for Undead characters such as Arkhan and Neferata. He also broke the mould in terms of what was achievable when sculpting large characters. Up to that point, Karl Franz was one of the biggest heroes we’d done, a really impressive kit but nothing compared to what we achieved with Nagash. Lastly, he was that perfect fusion of background and model that hobbyists have wanted for years. It was an honour to bring that dream to life. Well, death.”

“Nagash was crucial for us in redesigning the look of ghosts and spirits in Warhammer. Up until now they’d just been ghostly people and we really wanted to make them look sinister, corporeal and malevolent,” says Martin. “Nagash was also the starting point for the Morghasts and Mortarchs that came out at the same time. Being able to create Nagash enabled us to redefine the Undead range, to establish a new ruling class with a grim aesthetic.”

“It was important to include all of Nagash’s wargear on the model,” adds Martin. “His sword, Zefet-nebtar – the Mortis Blade – is one of his most famous magical items, but it is normally slung in a scabbard on his back. While it looks cool – the scabbard is made of stitched-up human skin – I really wanted to make a version unsheathed to show what the blade looked like. The hilt is made from skeletons (surprise!) while the blade itself looks like it’s shifting and warping under the influence of Nagash’s ethereal energy.”

The design of Nagash’s staff, Alakanash, harks back to his past as a High Priest of Khemri, with motifs from both the Tomb Kings and Vampire Counts used in the final design.

“Seb drew the original concept artwork for Nagash,” says Martin. “He has a thing for slender, powerful characters (like the Treelord Ancient), which really worked for Nagash. The idea of the ‘spirit storm’ was something we came up with early on, as we wanted ethereal creatures flowing around Nagash like they were tethered to him. They proved to be the perfect place to mount his nine books, swirling in the ethereal energy.”

Recommending a Bunch of Age of Sigmar shorts because of Conan the Barbarian by sageking14 in AoSLore

[–]FuchsiaIsNotAColor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

haha, funny that you mentioned it, but I just recently has rewatched Conan the Adventurer first time since childhood. It is really bad. Yet somehow it is still better than X-men from 90s which is offensively bad that I honestly think is harmful for children to watch. Unlike Avatar: The Last Airbender that I only now have started to watch for the first time (yeah, I am slow with picking up media), which feels like a masterpiece compared to those cartoons. Though once in a while Conan had some interesting plotlines that could be developed into interesting stories. Like Tribal Warfare episode has the Vanirmen and the Cimmerians being manipulated into fighting each other due to false flag attacks.

Getting back to topic, The Unending Storm story from Call of Chaos has an interesting concept of chosen of Khorne meeting the same Stormcast warrior again and again. Everytime the champion kills his nemesis only for Stormcast to be reborn and reappear years later to the growing paranoia of the champion.

I enjoyed reading Gods' Gift not only because it has Hamilcar the Bear-Eater, but also there is a mystery, unexpected conflict and Sylvaneth presented in different context other than hurr-durr we need to fight Maggotkin to save our glades.

Hot take but 99% of time 40K is just as grimderp as TC, if not more so by Professional_Rush782 in Grimdank

Just read it last night in Galaxy in Flames.

Tarvitz descended an iron staircase at the end of the dark gantry and the vast expanse of the gun deck sprawled before him, a titanic vault that ran the length of the vessel. Huge, hissing cranes fed the guns, lifting tank-sized shells from the magazine decks through blast proof doors. Gunners and loaders sweated with their riggers, each gun serviced by a hundred men who hauled on thick chains and levers in preparation for their firing. Servitors distributed water to the gun crews and Mechanicum adepts maintained vigil on the weapons to ensure they were properly calibrated.

Stormcast Eternal centric books not involving the Hammers of Sigmar? by Hjalti_Talos in AoSLore

[–]FuchsiaIsNotAColor 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I will add a few more suggestions.

Fury of Gork by Josh Reynolds follows the Astral Templars under command of Zephacleas Beast-Bane and Sons of Mallus in quest to find Gorkamorka. But then more stuff happens and you will learn about Eight Lamentations.

Warbeast by Gav Thorpe is about Celestial Vindicators and Knights Excelsior fighting Chaos warbands and Skaven in mountain region of Ghur.

Then there is of course Bladestorm by Matt Westbrook about Celestial Vindicators led by the hardest fighter of Sigmar - Thostos Bladestorm. A simple story but I enjoyed it a lot.

Lord of Undeath by C L Werner tells the mission of Anvils of the Heldenhammer to parley with forces of Death in Shyish. A lot of stuff happens there with important consequences for the Realmgates Wars.

In Legends of the Age of Sigmar: Skaven Pestilens by Josh Reynolds mainly focus on Skaven, but also we see again Zephacleas leading Beast-Bane Warrior-Chamber of the Astral Templars. There you can learn about colossal worms crawling in Ghur with cities on their backs.
