I think Nagash came out abut the same time as that giant skaven demon rat thing. They were going through a phase of awesoming up all the evil races so they all had some greater daemon equivalent.

I think they should have used the tomb kings liche preists as a base, he was after all khemrian if I remember correctly.
I shall have to look into his background again me thinks haha.

I don't think Nagash has a place on the battlefield. It would be like the Empire fielding Sigmar. Or one of the actual Chaos gods making an appearance.

Give it time, You can already field primarchs in 30k games.

That's a lot of points.

That's a lot of points.

If you're going to play, go big. Also, 30,000 points should be on 4x6 only.

[Nagash] is Warhammer's Not-Sauron.

Actually, I always thought that was Malekith The Witch King...? He even has a tower that he watches the world from and plots his revenge on the High Elves. Naggarond, the Tower of Cold

That's a lot of points.

I did of course mean 30k as in heresy era, but i dread to think what playing a 30k game on a 6x4 would be like.

[pacarat]

What do you mean, there's 4 skulls visible from the front alone, and he likely has one inside of his helmet as well!

That's the funniest comment I've read in a long while...

The way they've slashed the points costs in recent codicies (I wonder why?) two 1500 armies make a 6x4 table look ridiculously overcrowded. Can't imagine a 30k army on one. Let alone two.

You're kidding, right? 

[beefcake]

New marketing strategy I guess. That 3000 pt army you had is now only 2000 so you need another 1000 (previously 1500pts) to get back to where you started.

I seem to remember that you can get a full Dark Angel Battle Company for 1500pts in the current codex... So 30,000pts should be enough for the complete Chapter?

[Diakon]

Most definitely.

That's exactly it. I did have a 2000 point Daemon army before the newest codex came out. Now it's worth 750-1000 points depending on options. I was already drifting away from them but that killed GW for me. Never bought anything from them since. Don't think I will again. And if I do I'll buy it from Boyes or e-bay.

Unfortunately it's my gaming groups main game so I still kind of have to play it if I want regular games. Luckily I've got about 500-750 points of Chaos Marines so I just combine my armies. I'm also trying to wean them off 40k with IHMN and a few other games. They also seem to be getting more disenfranchised with every GW release and one guy has already started building an IHMN gang from Perry samurai so it seems to be slowly working.

I remember when a blood thirsted used to cost 800 points. That's sure changed.
