  Btw, DK was SEVERELY underselling the skaven assistance in helping kill Nagash. Skaven were basically exploiting the mines until they were found out by Nagash and expelled out, then they started a war that ended in a permanent stalemate because Nagash never runs out of corpses and Skaven never run out of Skaven. So they begrudgingly formed a truce when Nagash said “ok, we both have more important things to do so mine warpstone for me and take your fair share” and the skaven were happy with the deal, but clan eschin assassins learned of Nagash’s plan to kill EVERYTHING and then resurrect it as his army and panicked. They tried everything, and by everything I mean throw rats and warpstone at it until it dies. The clans panicked so hard the council of 13 stopped infighting and put all grayseeers on deck to find a solution. They knew Nagash was basically immortal and any normal weapon couldn’t kill him so all the clans united in crafting the most concentrated radioactive evil  version of warpstone from years of mining that was so volatile it killed many more engineers than expected and put it in dagger form, the dagger was so potent it needed a whole battalion of Skaven to transport it from Skavenblight to Nagashizar, as it killed every Skaven carrying it after a day or two even with their high tolerance for warpstone, so they basically played hot potato with a satan uranium dagger until they gave it to Alkadizar so he would kill Nagash, not only that, they sent elite warriors and 2 grayseers that died to help, and even if the dagger didn’t finish the job, it did permanently damage Nagash so every time he resurrects he does so in a weaker form. Skaven basically united all clans, made a nuke, started fighting smart and made something that could do permanent soul damage to kill Nagash and none of the chaos gods, nor the horned rat tried to stop them from doing a good deed. Such is the danger of Nagash.

  “If Nagash has 1000 servants, I am one of them. If Nagash has 10 servants, I am one of them. If Nagash has one servant, it is me. If Nagash has no servants, it’s because I am dead, but I won’t be for long.” -Arkhan basically

  Setra is the only character ever in Fantasy and in 40k to be offered everything he’s ever wanted by The Chaos Gods—no strings attached—if he agrees to serve them.<br><br>His response???<br><br>“Setra does not serve. Setra rules.”<br><br>Absolute mad lad.

  Ah yes, the story of the Nagash and the Tomb Kings. Also known as &quot;That One Time The Skaven Literally Saved The World&quot;.

  One thing that was left out is the reason that warhammer vampires have the typical vampire weaknesses is because when they retreated from the big battle nagash had a hissy fit and cursed them with everything he could think of.

  &quot;He unified Nehekhara is what he did! He was a great king of kings, and in this house Settra is a hero - End of story!&quot;

  Bricky have to understand that one of the diplomacy line in Total War Warhammer, if you are the elf, Settra will call you out on how arrogant you are then boast about how his arrogant is much greater than you and he is super proud about it.

  Wow, DK didn’t even stutter during his recital of Settra’s titles. Such is the power of Naga—Settra!

  In AoS Nagash has a special spell where, if he succeeds in casting it, the player playing him holds a dice in one of their hands, and if the opposing player fails to guess which hand the dice is in correctly, Nagash just straight up kills the target, which can be any visible model. Such is the power of Nagash.

  Achshually: Nagash did die several times while fleeing through the desert to where he would eventually build Nagashizar but he just went &quot;nuh uh&quot; and kept resurrecting himself. He literally invented necromancy and is the greatest at it, such is the power of Nagash lol. <br>Also his big bad spell would not only raise all the dead ... the cruicial thing is that it would kill any and all living being on the planet and then raise them for Nagash to puppet around. The Scaven did not like this plan so when they found out about it they crafted the Warpstone Dagger and sent off a war party to Nagashizar to deliver it to the captured king there ... out of that war party only those 3 Skaven were left cus the Dagger actively kills whomever is carrying it including the King. He stabbed Nagash with the last of his strenght. The &quot;Kill all&quot; part of the spell failed but the &quot;raise all&quot; worked, atleast in Not-Egypt lol
