Legions of Nagash: Spell Lore

March 2026·pp. 74–75

THE SHORT VERSION

The expanded spell list heals or restores undead and pairs units from different Death factions to exchange offensive, defensive and movement benefits. Nagash alone can provide overarching protection or unleash his destructive gaze, with optional repeated empowerment adding a gamble to its damage. Positioning the paired allies makes the unified army more than a simple selection of unrelated units.

Chaotic Hunt: Two-player Mission Adjustments

A mission normally intended for four players is adapted by giving each commander two deployment zones and removing some warp-rift locations. Priority targets change as units die, while the portals can move a force directly into melee without granting a charge. The changes preserve the hunt’s mobility and uncertainty with only two competing armies.

Vespator Front Mission: Speculative Strike

A first encounter for growing armies rewards early penetration of enemy territory, sustained objective control and the destruction of important enemy assets. The accompanying advice stresses flexible units: a small force must combine mobility, holding power and answers to monsters and vehicles without offering the opponent an easy collection of valuable targets.

Secrets of the Necropolis

Marshal Vigar Obolswald reports on an unusually intact Ossiarch fortress taken by Lethisian forces. The account moves from responsive bone defences into silent stables, monumental barracks, libraries and the Mortisans’ subterranean workshops, with each discovery costing lives. A closing annotation reveals that the marshal and his remaining command disappeared during their follow-up investigation, turning an apparently victorious survey into a warning.
