Nagash Campaign Information

[Lady Bastet]

Ok as many of you know Nightmare Creature is currently away, so without her the little project should be put on a hiatus of sorts. Parts to it will still be developed but the Campaign will not be done until we have NC back on the forums to aprove everything.

The General Idea- Nagash has returned to conquer the world, he has a new army for this

Sub plots so far-

The Culling- Nagash is going in search of Undead creatures and attacking those who do not ally with him, in Khemri these undead are flocking under the banner of Tomb King Settra to stand agains the Great Necromancer.

The Cult of the Black Thorn- A Cult of Wizards within the Empire and Brettonia have been revealed as being cultists devouted to Nagash- this has created mistrust of magic in general leading to innocent spell casters being burnt as witches. Even the spell casters of the elves are not above suspicion.

Clan Morrs rises again- Nagash has made a deal with several living creatures this time around, his deal with this Skaven Warlord clan is the most important as amongst other things it will provide the clan with its own spell casters that will give it a measure of freedom from the four great clans.


Armies planed so far-

Grand army of Nagash- The Big mans army a cross between TKs and VCs
Specteral Legion- Army with lots of Ghosts drawn out of hiding by Nagash
Armies of the Damned- Think of the Cused Company then imagine an army
-NC was working on those

Witch Hunters- An army of faith that is very good at fighting magic heavy armies
Clan Morrs- Infantry heavy Skaven without the weapon teams but still viable

So what next? Any suggestions would be nice provided they do not involve too major a change to the Warhammer World.

May as well use the delay to improve the end product...

You'll be needing rules for the aforementioned Big Man:
M WS BS S T W I A Ld
4 6 6 4 5 5 6 3 10
Spells:knows all Necromantic and Lore of Death spells.
Level 5 Wizard (generates 5 Power Dice and 3 Dispel Dice)
+1 to cast and dispel
May cast Invocation of Nehek on a 15+ for 4d6+4 Zombies, 4d6 Skeletons, or 4 wounds back on
Magic Items: not known yet. Crown and Sword of something or other.

[Lady Bastet]

Well the plan was to keep Nagash in a similar role to the one the Dark Master had in Dark Shadows, that of an unseen power. That + level 5 will not cut it, that makes him a worse wizard than some Necrarch Vampires.

[King Ulrik Flamebeard]

Yes, keep the evil clown out of it. In this edition he has no place, he is way too powerful for such games. And those rules suck, he's the creator of Necromancy. If anything he should have all spells as well as the Dark Magic set (DE's taught him magic) and death magic etc, then lots of warpstone tokens etc.... the list goes on.

Keep him out.

Now, I've chatted with Nightie on this before and offered help when asked or suggestions etc. I like it, and the ideas sound pretty cool, can't wait for more details.

Care to give any more?

[Lady Bastet]

Well the idea is that they have made a deal so they do not need the other clans, so i was considering bringing in a Morrs Spell caster (possibly with the death frenzy spell) as a replacement for the warlock the clan Guard are a good idea however.

Ulrik- I am reluctant to continue without her however i am considering something could happen in Estalia, I am also working on some Firmir stuff (yes those things in Heroquest) too but that is technically not part of the project... at least not yet.

[Blood_crazed_squigeon]

Maybe a level 2 Grey Seer (called a "seer Initiate") to replace the Warlock? and remove the Greater Clan heroes.
For Clan Guards, 7 points per model, Stormvermin stats but light armour, hand weapon and shield. Or maybe the other way round, for 6 points, Clanrat stats with halberd, heavy armour. Which do you prefer?

[Lady Bastet]

Hmm i am still trying to keep the magic Skaven themed with the whole leaping from Level 1 to level 4 since it shows how very very powerful the Grey Seers are.

For Clan Guards i was thinking that they could be stubborn when they outnumber the enemy and/or are lead by the General, possibly have a better stat line too.

Also i do not think Stormvermin should be Special choices or 0-1 in Clan Mors since elite soliders would be rather common.

[Nightmare Creature]

Thanks for keeping this going Alana, I have some stuff to add...

New magic items for the forces of good and evil-

(for now the evil items)

Nagashi items

Book of the Dead- makes the bearer a level 1 wizard with Invocation of Neyhek
(yes this is so that non undead armies can summon up skeletons and zombies)

Cursed Runeblade- gives the bearer frenzy and an eternal hatred of all living creatures.

Staff of Ultimate power- adds D3 to the casting roll of each spell attempted may not cause IF or prevent a miscast.

[King Ulrik Flamebeard]

Nice, they sound pretty cool. Keep up the good work ladies, I'll be interested to hear more.
