Legions of Nagash: Battle Traits and Enhancements

March 2026·p. 73

THE SHORT VERSION

Nighthaunt retain their ethereal protection while mixed formations reduce enemy control, making the combination of different undead forces worthwhile. A cursed hero can return beside Nagash, and the Soul-shrive Amulet can empower its wearer or sacrifice their vitality to secure a spell. The rules underline how service to the Great Necromancer is both a privilege and a threat.

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.
