Necromancers and the Dead Rising Once More

January 2018·p. 77

THE SHORT VERSION

Necromancers supply the magic that sustains and replenishes many undead armies, compensating for vampire lords without strong sorcerous gifts. The conclusion hints at Nagash’s new work with underworlds and realmstone, while the Shadespire sidebar illustrates the elaborate punishment he inflicts on those who keep souls beyond his reach.

The Circle of Decay

The new Nurgle releases bring mortal Rotbringers and daemonic allies together in the Maggotkin battletome, while Chaos Daemons receives a new codex for the far future. The preview contrasts their settings and army options and introduces the month’s wider collection of plague-bearing miniatures without presenting the books’ full rules.

Model of the Month: Great Unclean One

The plastic Great Unclean One is presented as a configurable centrepiece with alternative heads, weapons and accompanying Nurglings. The annotated model stresses its enormous diseased body and characterful details, while the Rotigus alternative gives the same kit a distinct named sorcerer identity.

The Feculent Gnarlmaw

This living terrain piece represents the Garden of Nurgle forcing itself into another world. Its diseased trunk, gaping maw and cultivated bells make it more than an ordinary dead tree, while the preview directs players to the separate army books for the rules governing its battlefield effects.
