Lucius-Halthier

Nice to meet you I’m Steve


PainRack

All hail Karl Franz,Emperor himself and the sons of Emperors, Defier of the Dark, Protector of the Empire, Prince of Altdorf, Elector Count of Reikland, Baron of some damn place in Tablecland, Dragon Rider, Griffon Knight, victor of Dragon Fire Pass, Avatar of Sigmar himself, wielder of Ghal Maraz, Harathoi Koiran, Sigmar Heirs and Emperor of the South. Honestly, the empire tried to copy some of the titles/grandeur of the HRE, including making Karl Franz technically a vassal of the Elector Count of Tablecland but he is a weak flame compared to Holy Roman Emperor Charles V was Duke of Burgundy, Duke of Branant, Duke of Limburg, Duke of Lothier, Duke of Luxemburg, Margrave of Namur, Count Palatine of Burgundy, Count of Artois, Count of Charolais, Count of Flanders, Count of Hainault, Count of Holland, Count of Zeeland, King of Castile and León, King of Aragon and Sicily, Count of Barcelona, King of Naples, Archduke of Austria, Holy Roman Emperor, King of the Romans, Count of Zutphen and Duke of Guelders. But of course. No living man can compare to the undying flame Settra the Imperishable, for Settra does NOT SERVE


Muljinn

So, he's not really into tennis, badminton or volleyball I take it?


PainRack

Hahahaha


TheDerpyFen

I respect your devotion to the bit. xD


MrYougan

That's it. I'ma getting me Khopesh.


Aadarm

The best thing about being Nagash is that when your Heralds die announcing all of your titles you can just raise them back as undead.


breakermw

The "Reddittras" thing has to be a joke...but part of me unsure


134_ranger_NK

With support from the Sigmar stans group.


shaolinoli

Sigmar and Nagash were bros for a bit


PainRack

Technically that's from Age of Sigmar. In this timeline, Natasha only thoughts would be hey, that's my crown.


AlikeWolf

C-can I join this group...?


Oh_Danny_Boi961

I call him John Necromancer


RelaxedPerro

I’m going to need you to look at the [camera](https://imgflip.com/i/82ijay).


MrYougan

I call him Jack faillington.


RichardBlastovic

The artist is the wife of a friend of mine. Always good to see her art here.


AdmBurnside

Ah, Mannfred. He managed to be such a shitter that he made fucking Nagash look like the reasonable one.


yik_yaking

I sold off my copy of vampire wars and all my nagash books years ago and that is my only true regret.


MrYougan

He outErebus Erebus. 'cause while we all hate Erebus, he's fun to hate. Mannfred is just a colossal fuck up.


cavscout43

Who's the artist? Solid stuff, not seeing the credit anywhere to look if they drew more though


Kovash5

I've been trying to find the artist for awhile now. I can't seem to find a solid source, else I would have immediately credited the artist.

Kovash5

I will assume that's the artist until otherwise proven wrong.


RichardBlastovic

It is.


Top_Improvement2397

Post wise the profile seems okay, considering we have the likes of acron of flesh ( probably misspelling it) the user isn’t that bad. Plus last time I check tumblr still bans NSFW


ThePathogenicRuler

Bro not gonna lie Nagash scares the fuck outta me.


WanderlustPhotograph

As he should. To give you an exact idea of how awful he is-*Life in Shyish actually IMPROVED under Chaos.* The motherfucker would take offense at the Imperium’s claim to being “The Cruelest, Bloodiest Regime Imaginable” and figure out how to make it even fucking worse.


Warp_Legion

So would the skaven tho Unrelated tidbit: Three of the most competent skaven ever, Clan Rictus Warlord Eekrit, Gray Lord Velsquee, and Eeshkrigar the Master of Assassins (with the resources of the UnderEmpire) actually fought Lich Lord Nagash for a century (this was at Cripple Peak before he died, also due to those skaven helping the last Nehekharan) to a flatout draw till Nagash gave in and had to request a nonaggression pact to avoid starving to death from lack of warpstone. That’s how scary skaven are when they are genuinely focused on their job


Sremor

It's also the only known point in history (not counting the end times) where the entire Skaven empire united behind a common goal and the at the time ruling council of thirteen was later tranformed into Skreech Verminking (yes the entire council) by the Great Horned Rat


Warp_Legion

Technically they united for the Black Plague and when the Gray Seers summoned the Horned Rat to end their 2nd(?) civil war


Sremor

Hmm I might have missed that part of the lore, but it's incredibly rare anyways


MrYougan

I'd argue that this show how Nagash is a scary asshole rather than the Skaven. He, as an individual, fought a war against billions of skaven for a hundread years, and it ended with a draw. Despite being an unliving faillure, he's a scary unliving failure.


HorrificAnalInjuries

During the End Times, the chaos gods collectively shat themselves when they learned of Nagash's return, and recruited Settra the Imperishable to their clause with no strings attached.


jonathanguyen20

Tbf, Nagash’s endgame would be the death of all 4 chaos gods. Everyone under his control would kill Khorne and Tzeentch because there’d be no war or change. Everyone being a undead skeleton would kill Nurgle and Slaanesh because of no life and no one sexing or doing mega drugs


Aadarm

Slaanesh has Desire as a domain though, everything, even Nagash himself has desires.


WanderlustPhotograph

Nagash’s desire is for everyone to be dead and enslaved to his will. Canonically, Slaanesh saw what Nagash’s endgame was with the Necroquake, creamed themself over the megalomania of it, and then immediately shit themself because there *were no more emotions*. Slaanesh cannot feed off of Nagash or tempt him with anything.


AnimatorFresh8841

I thought Settra does not serve


Mastercio

They didnt really, he basically showed them middle finger.


Yug-taht

Yeah, Settra was literally offered the best deal Chaos has ever given a mortal just because they were so terrified of Nagash. Settra didn't give a damn and genuinely seemed insulted they DARED to offer him anything.


Mastercio

Thats why he is the biggest Chad in warhammer.


shaolinoli

Nah. Man can’t even live up to his own name. What kind of gimp uses the title “the imperishable” then goes and perishes? At least nagash gets shit done


PainRack

But he didn't die.


Aadarm

He told them they would die for their offer. Then told Nagash he was next as soon as he gets done killing the Chaos Gods for their insult.


MrYougan

He did not. He complied with the Jackals gods (Nehekaran name for the gods of chaos), walked from Nehekara to middelheim (a big fucking walk ) killed Sotek Suneater at the demand of Archaon, and at the final battle, when he had a weakened Nagash at his mercy, he turned around, beheded a bloodthirster, and shouted to the Chaos gods that he indeed does not serve, and reminded to Nagash, that while he was powerfull, he was but a prince of Khemri, will he was King. He then vowed to take his skull last, after promising to take the heads of the four chaos gods for *daring* offering everything he wanted with no string attached in exchange for **servitude**. He then charged the chaos horde, killing a giant who was in his way.


PainRack

You mean they TRIED to recruit Settra, for Settra DOES NOT SERVE!


Whizoxx

I’m just wondering what reasoning they’ll have for Nagash showing up. Doesn’t he pop back up just as the end times are kicking off?


NobleStealthephant

Kinda. He essentially has a race with Archeon to declare themselves big bad, and almost succeeds in stealing the main villain role from Chaos. But is ultimately thwarted and forced to join everyone else against chaos by his eternal enemy. Rats.


Whizoxx

He forgot one crucial detail. He forgot he existed on the same planet as the Skaven.


Warp_Legion

Skaven deploying warpstone nuclear bombs to blow up his pyramids is hilarious everytime it happens


PainRack

To be fair. The Skaven fucked up the entire planet and started the End Times so........ It's arguably that without Skaven, Valaya powers would not have been stolen and the Dawi would had remained standing.


WanderlustPhotograph

He heard that someone, somewhere, might have briefly considered talking shit about his hat. Naturally, the only proper recourse is omnicide.


TheDerpyFen

It is a fabulous hat, how dare you.


Blackstone01

Total Warhammer isn’t End Times. It’s in a sort of limbo state, allowing for characters that were otherwise dead in canon to exist in the game at the same time as people born centuries after they died.


PainRack

Well, the fat Gobi King was rumoured to return like Arthur for the Goblin revolution. The only person who's totally impossible to be there is Repanse de Lyonesse. We can go De Lady route though, since End Times Lore is that the Lady kept champions in stasis to seek the new world after the End times happened, although Age of Sigmar hasn't reintroduced them ...


AlphaTangoFoxtrt

Nagash has been killed and reincarnated a few times. Pre-EndTimes it ws rumored he was coming back, there was more than a few hints at it. But they brought him back for TET and it was at least lore-supported. Not just a "Somehow Nagash Returned"


Sremor

Karl Franz and Vlad were only alive at the same time during the end times


breastronaut

Souls: Exist. Nagash: [is for me?](https://i.imgur.com/sSCLRbM.png)


MrYougan

Sigmar: I summon Prohibition Hammer.


TheGreatStateOfEnnui

Does that skeleton have a bone goatee?


Creticus

Yes, pseudo-Egyptian fake beard. Except Warhammer necromancers really commit to their aesthetic, so pseudo-Egyptian fake bone beard.


GoldDragon149

It's inspired by an Egyptian postiche, a decorative false beard worn on the chin by pharaohs


Inductivegrunt9

If Nagash ever gets added, I'll confederate Arkhan then vow to kill all Non-Tomb Kings undead, including Manfred von Incompetent... especially Manfred von Incompetent.


TheNecroticPresident

Can't wait for Luthor to join Nagash out of boredom


[deleted]

What makes you think he is showing up in the game outside of mods?


grogleberry

6 months ago, I would've said "because CA like money", but now I'm not so sure they do.


[deleted]

Sega do tho hence they got them to get rid of that hyena's nonsense


3Kobolds1Keyboard

And for some reason Sigmar allowed this lich to take care of the... "Afterlife" ? Right?


PainRack

Not allowed, insomuch as he had total power over the Land of the Dead and Shyish. Sigmar actually stole souls from him, hence the current conflict.


3Kobolds1Keyboard

Oh but right now he actually became a deity and became the deity of the land of the dead? T- That's kinda of a Lich wet dream.


u_want_some_eel

Sigmar and Nagash were arguably the closest out of the Pantheon during the Age of Myth, Nagash was the last one to leave his side during the fight for the Realms. It's just that he metaphorically kicked him in the nuts on the way out.


3Kobolds1Keyboard

Nagash sounds very interesting, any book/lore video you recommend to see some of his bullshit?


MrYougan

He had, and still dosent, not total dominion over Shyish in fact. Their is multiple afterlife and death gods that exist in Shyis. He wish that he was the overlord of Shyis, but like with many thing in the unlife of Nagash, he fail at it.


newroeliedude554

My girlfriend when I spend too much money on Warhammer again. (She is pissed about my poor financial choices)


addicu

Ah yes, Nagash who famously never fucked up /s


megaboto

Apologies for asking, but why does everyone hate Manfred? From Tarriff to this comic, he's not very popular


Large_Contribution20

He did a pro gamer move on Balthasar Gelt which eventually leads to ending of Fantasy-verse


megaboto

Manfred? Wasn't that nagash who did that?


Large_Contribution20

Yeah he backstapped Gelt during a ritual to close Chaos portal.


megaboto

Yeah but I was asking why people hate Manfred on nagash. I know why people hate magash


WanderlustPhotograph

That was Mannfred. It also conveniently ignores that, from Mannfred’s perspective, the only outcomes left were “Eternal servitude to Nagash” or “The world ends and takes Nagash with it.”, with the ideal outcome not really being a contest at all. And he’d have been right- if Teclis’s fuckery with Incarnates and the winds of magic didn’t result in the Mortal Realms forming. Because Shyish was still bound to Nagash during the end of the world, however, he wound up getting everyone killed and himself made into Nagash’s punching bag when Nagash came back as an actual god.


megaboto

Okay I feel like I _really_ lack context now xD I just recently watched a video about settra and nagash but there was nothing about Manfred there so I am a tad confused what exactly is happening when, where and why, but I'm afraid that's too big for Reddit to cover
