one guy has already started building an IHMN gang from Perry samurai so it seems to be slowly working.  :D

Slow and steady Daikon, looks like your evil scheme is working so far ;)

More shots of nagash.
At what point does a miniature become a statue?




There's also what looks like a campaign book/army supplement based around him, so perhaps something big really is coming.
never trust a horse, they make a commitment to shoes that no animal should make.

Head too small but overall I think it is better than the recent offerings by GW. Not on my to buy list though, Still too over the top. And you would need to buy at least 2 of him because he looks quite snap-able.

I can appreciate the work that's gone into it and the intricacy of the piece ...... but it does leave me decidedly cold. It just appears like an exercise in excess, without any sort of sympathy to what it's actually meant to represent.

Yea, in a way its too professionally made to be straight up bad. But has nothing going for it to call it bad.

I will say tough, it doesn't seem to fit in particularly well. The proportions look out of style to me. Warhammer always has had a bit of a comical proportion to its miniatures and this thing looks like a overly slender action figure. In fact they might just have used a barbie doll as a armature for this.   ;D

The thing that always tickles me about undead figures is that they care enough about their appearance to demand undead themed armour and clothing. This miniature emphasises that. I picture Nagash acting a bit like the Knights Who Say Ni with their shrubbery request, but for his hat.

"And I want it to have little thumb bones all across the top, and it has to be really tall, and a nice purple please, with some ribs round the middle."

There is a little Gok Wan in the Warhammer World hosting How To Look Good Undead, and this is his most epic episode.

Tis true!

Who do you think pressurises them into repainting all their shields into bony designs?

It's obviously Incase someone mistakes them for a living person.

Bah! It actually doesn't look as bad in the proper pics. Still bad though. Basically...

I can appreciate the work that's gone into it and the intricacy of the piece ...... but it does leave me decidedly cold. It just appears like an exercise in excess, without any sort of sympathy to what it's actually meant to represent.

... That.

Though the hat look even worse now.

The thing that always tickles me about undead figures is that they care enough about their appearance to demand undead themed armour and clothing. This miniature emphasises that. I picture Nagash acting a bit like the Knights Who Say Ni with their shrubbery request, but for his hat.

"And I want it to have little thumb bones all across the top, and it has to be really tall, and a nice purple please, with some ribs round the middle."

That too!

I always thought the same about galactus.Why does a planet eating god need a bit purple hat, and who out there is making silly head wear for him?
