Legions of Nagash

Nagash is a truly ancient being of unfathomable necromantic might, nothing less than a jealous god of the dead. To look upon his towering, cadaverous form, bedecked in a macabre panoply and wreathed in soul-flaying energies, is to know the futility of hope and the horrifying inevitability of the grave.

This page contains all of the rules you need to field your Legions of Nagash miniatures on the battlefields of the Mortal Realms, from a host of exciting allegiance abilities to a range of warscrolls and warscroll battalions. The rules are split into the following sections.

Battletome: Legions of Nagash

How large is a gravesite and a gravesite marker?

A gravesite is a point you pick on the battlefield that you measure to – it does not have a size as such, but you can consider it to be 1mm across if you wish. Gravesite markers are simply to help you remember where the gravesites are located, and therefore can be of any size; they have no effect on the game other than to mark the location of the gravesites, they do not interfere with movement or visibility, and they can be moved aside to allow the movement and placement of units if need be (in which case you will need to remember the location of the gravesite by other means).

Q:	If a single Hero is within 9" of two different gravesites, can you set up two different units from the grave, one from each gravesite?
A:	Yes.

Q:	In a battle between two Legions of Nagash, do both players set up gravesites? If so, can a player use their opponent’s gravesites as well as their own?
A:	Yes to both questions.

Q:	If I use the Unquiet Dead battle trait to set up a unit at the end of my movement phase, can the unit move?
A:	No. Things that happen at the end of a phase take place after all of that phase’s usual activities; in the case of the movement phase, this means they occur after all normal moves have been made.

Q:	Can I use one of the dice rolls for the Invigorating Aura ability to both heal models and then (if enough points are left over), bring back slain models? If I don’t roll high enough to bring back a model with all of its wounds healed, can I bring it back with only as many wounds remaining as the dice roll?
A:	No to both questions. An Invigorating Aura roll can either heal or return models, not both, and you can only use it to return slain models whose combined Wounds characteristic is equal to or less than the roll.

Q:	For the purposes of Deathless Minions, if a model is within 12" of my general or a friendly HERO, do I roll 1 dice to negate the wound or mortal wound, or 1 dice per friendly HERO within 12" of the model?
A:	Roll 1 dice to negate the wound or mortal wound.

Q:	In what order are the Deathless Minions, Morikhane, and Ceaseless Vigil (from the First Cohort) rules applied?
A:	The Ceaseless Vigil ability is used first. Then the Deathless Minions and Morikhane abilities can be used (if applicable), in the order of your choice.

Q:	How does Ceaseless Vigil interact with Skarbrand’s Total Carnage rule?
A:	Ceaseless Vigil cannot be used to reallocate wounds suffered from Total Carnage.

Can the warscroll battalions for specific Legions be taken outside of the Legion named on their warscrolls?

The First Cohort can only be taken as part of the Grand Host of Nagash (because the other Legions cannot include Nagash). Any other battalions for specific Legions can be included as part of a different Legion as long as that Legion also includes the Mortarch that must lead it. For example, to include the Court of Nulahmia in a Legion of Sacrament army, the army would also have to include Arkhan the Black (because if the Legion of the Sacrament has any , one must be Arkhan).

Q:	In a Deathmarch battalion, can I move friendly units that are within 9" of the WIGHT KING after he has made his 4" move?
A:	Yes.

Q:	Do you need to tell your opponent which edge is chosen for the Shifting Keep ability?
A:	Yes.

Q:	With Curse of Years, are rolls that may negate the mortal wounds inflicted by the spell taken immediately after the wounds are caused, but before you roll the dice again to see if any more mortal wounds are suffered by the target unit? If yes, do I get to roll for additional mortal wounds for wounds that were negated?
A:	Yes to the first question, and no to the second question.

Q:	Mannfred’s command ability has a range. Is the effect worked out when the ability is used, or when the attacks are made?
A:	When the attacks are made.

Q:	If Prince Vhordrai uses Fist of Nagash on a HERO, does that HERO have to be within 3" of an enemy to pile in and attack?
A:	Yes.

Q:	Can I use the Bat Swarms’ Blood Suckers ability to bring back models that have been slain?
A:	No, it can only be used to heal the wounds on models in the unit that have not been slain.

Q:	Can a Vampire Lord both be given a NIGHTMARE and be a FLYING HORROR?
A:	No.

Q:	Do you receive the Attacks characteristic bonus for each enemy HERO that dies within 9" of a Bloodseeker Palanquin?
A:	Yes.

Q:	Is the Coven Throne treated as a mount?
A:	Yes. In addition, the Handmaidens and Spectral Host are treated as mounts for rules purposes.

Q:	The Legion Black Coach has the HERO keyword, but is not a Leader according to the Pitched Battle profiles in the back of the book. Is this correct?
A:	Yes.

Q:	Can I use the new model for the Nighthaunt Black Coach to represent a Legion Black Coach?
A:	Only if your opponent agrees to let you use it as a proxy model.

Q:	Can the Sepulchral Guard be taken in a Legion of Nagash army?
A:	No, but you should feel free to add the models to units of Skeleton Warriors.

Q:	Can a Mourngul be taken in a Legions of Nagash army?
A:	No. It can be taken in Death and Nighthaunt armies, and as an ally by a Soulblight army.

Q:	With the Curse of Years spell, if I manage to keep on inflicting wounds until the roll to inflict further wounds becomes a 1 or more, does this mean that the target unit will be destroyed?
A:	Yes.

Q:	Can I use the Deathless Minions, Endless Legions and Invigorating Aura battle traits for allies in a Legions of Nagash army?
A:	No. However, note that several Nighthaunt units can now be taken as part of a Legions of Nagash army, and you can use those battle traits for those units (see Forces of Death).

Q:	If I include a Chainguard, Execution Horde, or Death Stalkers warscroll battalion in a Legions of Nagash army, is the battalion (and the units in it) an ally?
A:	Yes.

Q:	If I include a Guardian of Souls in a Legions of Nagash army, can it receive a spell from any of the Lores of the Dead?
A:	No.

Q:	Nagash and Arkhan know the spells that other WIZARDS know. Can Hexgorger Skulls make them forget the spells?
A:	Only if there are no other WIZARDS in range for them to ‘relearn’ the spell from.

Forces of Death

On the following pages you will find rules and abilities for your Legions of Nagash army. These include powerful allegiance abilities and items, exciting battleplans, and warscrolls and battalions that describe the relentless cohorts of Nagash’s undead legions in games of Warhammer Age of Sigmar.

ALLEGIANCE
When you choose your army, you can also choose an allegiance for it. If you do so, you can use the allegiance abilities that correspond to the allegiance you have chosen.

If an army could have more than one allegiance, you must pick one to apply to it during the game. The allegiance you choose will apply for the duration of the battle, even if you add new units to the army during the battle that have a different allegiance.

GRAND ALLIANCES
An army can have allegiance to a Grand Alliance if all the units in the army are part of that Grand Alliance (including any units that you assign a keyword to during set-up). On pages 74-75 you will find a set of allegiance abilities you may use if all units in your army have the DEATH allegiance.

FACTIONS
An army can have allegiance to a faction instead of a Grand Alliance if all the units in the army have the keyword for that faction, including any units that you assign a keyword to during set-up. For example, if all of the units in an army have the keyword, then the army can have allegiance to the SOULBLIGHT faction instead of the Death Grand Alliance. Similarly, if all the units in an army have the LEGION OF NIGHT keyword, then the army can have allegiance to the LEGION OF NIGHT faction instead.

LEGIONS OF NAGASH
When you are choosing your army, you may decide it is taken from one of the Legions of Nagash. If you do, choose one of the following faction keywords. All units and warscroll battalions in your army selected from this battletome gain that keyword.

• GRAND HOST OF NAGASH
• LEGION OF SACRAMENT
• LEGION OF BLOOD
• LEGION OF NIGHT

The following units may be selected as part of a Grand Host of Nagash, Legion of Sacrament, Legion of Blood or Legion of Night army and gain the appropriate faction keyword:
• Chainrasp Horde
• Glaivewraith Stalkers
• Grimghast Reapers
• Guardian of Souls with Mortality Glass
• Guardian of Souls with Nightmare Lantern
• Knight of Shrouds
• Knight of Shrouds on Ethereal Steed
• Lord Executioner
• Spirit Torment

Grand Host of Nagash


	This section describes the allegiance abilities available to an army taken from the Grand Host of Nagash, including battle traits, command traits and artefacts of power. UNITS A GRAND HOST OF NAGASH army may include any of the units in this battletome. If Nagash is included, he must be the army’s general. ARTEFACTS OF POWER If a GRAND HOST OF NAGASH army includes any HEROES, then one may bear an Artefact of Nagash. Declare which hero has the artefact after picking your general, and then pick which artefact the hero has. Alternatively, roll a dice on the table below to randomly generate one. You may choose one additional HERO to have an Artefact of Nagash for each warscroll battalion in your army. The same model cannot have more than one Artefact of Nagash. COMMAND TRAITS If the general of a GRAND HOST OF NAGASH army is a HERO, they can have one of the command traits from the table below. You can either pick the trait or roll a dice to randomly determine it. If, for any reason, you must select a new general during a battle, immediately generate a trait for them. MAGIC All WIZARDS in a GRAND HOST OF NAGASH army know an additional spell from one of the Lores of the Dead. If Nagash is included in the army, he instead knows an additional 3 spells from the Lores of the Dead.

Grand Host of Nagash Battle Traits

The Unquiet Dead

After territories have been determined, but before any units have been set up, you may pick up to 2 points in your territory and up to 2 points anywhere on the battlefield to be gravesites. You may wish to place suitable markers on these points. Instead of setting up a unit on the battlefield, you can place it to one side and say that it is set up in the grave. You can do this with as many units as you wish.

At the end of your movement phase, for each friendly within 9" of a gravesite, you may pick a single friendly unit in the grave and set it up wholly within 9" of the gravesite and more than 9" from any enemy models.

Gravesites have the following ability:

At the start of the combat phase, you can declare that the bearer will feed the Chiropteric Cloak. If you do so, the bearer suffers 1 mortal wound. During that combat phase, each time the hit roll of an attack that targets the bearer is 1 or less, the attacking unit suffers 1 mortal wound after all its attacks have been resolved.

Morbheg’s Claw

This blackened talon is said to belong to Morbheg, father of Terrorgheists.

In your hero phase, you can declare that the bearer will carve sigils in the ground with this claw. If you do so, they may not move, charge or attack this turn, but you can add 2 to casting rolls made for friendly LEGION OF NIGHT WIZARDS within 12" of the bearer.

Curseblade

This cursed blade is destined to feast upon the soul of a particular foe.

After armies have been set up but before the first battle round begins, you can pick an enemy HERO. In your hero phase, as long as the enemy hero is on the battlefield, you can roll a dice. On a 4+ that enemy hero suffers 1 mortal wound and you may heal a wound that has been allocated to the bearer.

Soulblight


	This section describes the allegiance abilities available to a Soulblight army, including battle traits, command traits and artefacts of power. ARTEFACTS OF POWER If a SOULBLIGHT army includes any HEROES, then one may bear a Soulblight Artefact. Declare which hero has the artefact after picking your general, and then pick which artefact the hero has. Alternatively, roll a dice on the table below to randomly generate one. You may choose one additional HERO to have a Soulblight Artefact for each warscroll battalion in your army. The same model cannot have more than one Soulblight Artefact. COMMAND TRAITS If the general of a SOULBLIGHT army is a HERO, they can have one of the command traits from the table below. You can either pick the trait or roll a dice to randomly determine it. If, for any reason, you must select a new general during a battle, immediately generate a trait for them. MAGIC All WIZARDS in a SOULBLIGHT army know an additional spell from the Lore of the Vampires.

Soulblight Battle Traits

Deathless Thralls

Roll a dice each time you or to a friendly unit within 6" of your general or another from your army. On a 6+ the wound is negated.

The Bloodlines

Before you select your general’s , pick one of the following bloodlines for the army to have. The associated traits apply to all units from your army for the duration of the battle, even if the general is slain (if you must select a new general during the battle, do not generate a new bloodline for the army).

Dragon Warriors: You can re-roll of 1 for models that have the Dragon Warriors bloodline if they in the same turn.

Lords of Night: Models with the Lords of Night bloodline receive the benefits of the Deathless Thralls battle trait even if they are not within 6" of the general or another friendly .

Necromantic: Add 1 to for WIZARDS with the Necromantic bloodline. In addition, subtract 1 from the Bravery characteristic of enemy units that are within 6" of one or more models with the Necromantic bloodline.

Swift Death: Add 2" to the Move characteristic of all models that have the Swift Death bloodline. In addition, Swift Death models can always move as if they can .

Soulblight Command Traits

only.

COMMAND TRAIT

Curse of the Revenant

Add 1 to this general’s Wounds characteristic.

2	Deathless Duellist Re-roll hits rolls of 1 for this general when they attack an enemy HERO in the combat phase.

3	Transfix At the start of the combat phase, pick one enemy HERO within 3" of this general. Until the end of the phase, subtract 1 from hit rolls for the model you picked when it targets the general.

4	Mist Form If this general retreats, they can move as if they can fly and they can still charge in the same turn.

5	Killing Blow Wound rolls of 6+ for attacks made by this general in the combat phase inflict a mortal wound in addition to any other damage they inflict.

6	Blood Fury Add 1 to the Attacks characteristic of melee weapons used by this general.

Soulblight Artefacts

only.

ARTEFACT OF POWER

The Slaking Blade

The corrupted sentience within this living weapon thirsts always for blood, and only after it has shed enough does it bestow rewards upon its wielder.

Pick one of the bearer’s melee weapons. Keep a tally of the number of wounds allocated as a result of attacks made with that weapon. As soon as the total reaches 6 or more, the bearer heals D3 wounds that have been allocated to them, and you can add 1 to the Damage characteristic of that weapon for the rest of the battle.

The Scabbing Plate

This armour feeds on the blood spilled across its facets, using the still-warm essence to instantly seal any rents.

At the end of any combat phase in which the bearer caused any wounds to be allocated to any enemy models, you can heal 1 wound that has been allocated to the bearer.

3	Crimson Wing Swooping silently through the sky, this bat-like familiar follows the pulse of its terrified prey for leagues before diving in for the kill. In your shooting phase, you can pick an enemy unit within 30" of the bearer and roll a dice. On a roll of 3+ that unit suffers 1 mortal wound.

4	Sigil of the Sanguine Throne The symbol on this ring marks the wearer as being of the von Carstein bloodline, and it demands deference from even the loftiest of Vampire Lords. Once per charge phase, you can re-roll a failed charge roll made for a friendly VAMPIRE unit within 12" of the bearer.

The Saccharine Goblet

Blood sipped from this chalice is sweeter and more invigorating than any other, but unless quickly refilled the Saccharine Goblet will drain the drinker’s own essence.

At start of the combat phase, you can declare that the bearer will drink from the Saccharine Goblet. If you do so, you can add 1 to hit and wound rolls for the bearer until the end of the phase. However, if no wounds are allocated as a result of these attacks, then the bearer suffers D3 mortal wounds.

Ruby Vial

With but a single drop poured onto the ground from this delicate receptacle, a wound opens in the sky and a deluge of blood begins to fall.

Once per battle, in your hero phase, you can declare that the bearer will open the Ruby Vial. If you do so, then until your next hero phase, subtract 1 from the Bravery characteristic of enemy units and subtract 1 from the result of any charge rolls made for them.

Lores of the Dead

Deathmages and other casters of necromantic magic draw their powers directly from the realm of Shyish, channelling its morbid energies to wither and ruin their foes.

WIZARDS that know an additional spell (or spells) from one of the Lores of the Dead, as described in their army’s allegiance abilities, generate their spells from the following tables.

You must generate any additional spells for from the Lore of the Deathmages, whilst those for must be generated from the Lore of the Vampires.

For DEATHLORDS WIZARDS, you may generate each of their additional spells from either lore. To generate a spell, either pick the spell or roll a D6 to randomly determine it.


	Locus of Shyish If you make an unmodified casting roll of 9+ for a DEATH WIZARD that is attempting to cast a spell from the Lore of the Deathmages or the Lore of the Vampires, and it is not unbound, then after resolving the effects of that spell you may immediately resolve them for a second time. For example, Overwhelming Dread is successfully cast on a casting roll of 9 and is not unbound. After resolving the effects against the target unit, you may choose a second target unit, or the same target unit again, and resolve the effects a second time. If the same unit is picked twice, your opponent will therefore subtract 2 from hit rolls for that unit, and subtract 2 from its Bravery characteristic.

Lore of the Deathmages

only.

SPELL

Overwhelming Dread

The target of this curse is overcome with a sensation of creeping doom, causing them to cower in fear.

Overwhelming Dread has a casting value of 5. If successfully cast, pick an enemy unit within 18" of the caster that is visible to them. Until your next hero phase, subtract 1 from hit rolls for that unit and subtract 1 from that unit’s Bravery characteristic.

Fading Vigour

The wizard saps the vitality from his enemies until they can barely raise their weapons.

Fading Vigour has a casting value of 6. If successfully cast, pick an enemy unit within 18" of the caster that is visible to them. Until the start of your next hero phase, subtract 1 from the Attacks characteristic of that unit’s melee weapons (to a minimum of 1), and roll only a single dice when making charge rolls for it.

Spectral Grasp

With a gesture the caster summons dozens of spectral hands into existence, which grasp hold of nearby enemies.

Spectral Grasp has a casting value of 6. If successfully cast, pick a terrain feature within 18" of the caster that is visible to them. Until your next hero phase, halve the Move characteristic (rounding down) of enemy units within 3" of any terrain features affected by any Spectral Grasp spells at the start of their movement phase.

Prison of Grief

The caster curses his victims to live out the greatest tragedy in their lives over and over again, drowning their will to fight in waves of sorrow and self-pity.

Prison of Grief has a casting value of 7. If successfully cast, pick an enemy unit within 12" of the caster that is visible to them. Until your next hero phase, before a unit affected by any Prison of Grief spells moves, roll a dice. On a 5+ the unit may not move in that phase.

Decrepify

The wizard causes the muscles of an enemy champion to atrophy, robbing them of their strength.

Decrepify has a casting value of 6. If successfully cast, pick an enemy HERO within 18" of the caster that is visible to them. Until your next hero phase, subtract 1 from wound rolls made for that model and subtract 1 from the Damage characteristics of that model’s melee weapons (to a minimum of 1).

Soul Harvest

The caster summons a ghostly scythe which slices through their enemies, cutting the cord tethering spirit to flesh.

Soul Harvest has a casting value of 7. If successfully cast, each enemy unit within 3" of the caster suffers D3 mortal wounds. Then, roll a dice for each mortal wound that was allocated to an enemy unit and not negated. For each 5+, heal 1 wound that has been allocated to the caster.

Lore of the Vampires

only.

SPELL

Blades of Shyish

The wizard summons a whirlwind of lambent spirit blades to slice through his enemies.

Blades of Shyish has a casting value of 5. If successfully cast, roll a dice for each enemy unit within 12" of the caster. On a 5+ that unit suffers 1 mortal wound.

Spirit Gale

The wizard calls forth spectral winds that howl through the ranks of the foe, tearing the souls from their bodies.

Spirit Gale has a casting value of 6. If successfully cast, pick an enemy unit within 12" of the caster that is visible to them and roll 3 dice. For each 5+, that unit suffers 1 mortal wound. In addition, if 2 of these dice show the same number, subtract 1 from hit rolls for that unit until your next hero phase. If all 3 dice show the same number, subtract 1 from hit and wound rolls for that unit until your next hero phase instead.

Vile Transference

The caster siphons the animus from nearby foes and uses it to restore the mangled forms of his undead servants.

Vile Transference has a casting value of 7. If successfully cast, pick an enemy unit within 12" of the caster that is visible to them, and a friendly DEATH unit within 6" of that enemy unit. The enemy unit suffers D3 mortal wounds. Then, for each of these wounds that was allocated and not negated, you can heal 1 wound allocated to the friendly unit.

4	Amethystine Pinions Incorporeal amethyst wings grow from the caster’s back, allowing him to soar above the battlefield. Amethystine Pinions has a casting value of 5. If successfully cast, until your next hero phase add 5" to the caster’s Move characteristic and the caster can fly.

Soulpike

The caster places a hex on his foes so that, should they move too hastily or aggressively, they risk impaling their own souls on a shimmering forest of purple-black spears.

Soulpike has a casting value of 6. If successfully cast, pick an enemy unit within 18" of the caster that is visible to them. Until your next hero phase, after a unit affected by any Soulpike spells makes a charge move, roll a number of dice equal to the result of their charge roll. For each 5+, that unit suffers 1 mortal wound.

Amaranthine Orb

The wizard hurls a pulsing globe of pure necrotic magic which turns flesh and bone to ash in an instant.

Amaranthine Orb has a casting value of 7. If successfully cast, pick a point on the battlefield within 12" of the caster and draw an imaginary straight line 1mm wide between that point and the closest part of the caster. Roll a dice for each unit (friend or foe, apart from the caster) that has any models beneath this line. On a 4+ that unit suffers D6 mortal wounds.

Battleplans


	Battleplan Turn the Tables A band of undead champions find themselves encircled by a far larger force, their shambling minions struck down and torn apart. The arrogant mortals believe the day is won, but they face the all-conquering power of death itself. Every living warrior cut down is animated with necromantic magic, raised as an unliving weapon and set upon its former comrades… HOW TO USE BATTLEPLANS This book contains two battleplans, each of which enables you to fight a battle that epitomises the way the Legions of Nagash wage war. These battles should be fought using all of the rules on the Warhammer Age of Sigmar rules sheet unless the battleplan specifically indicates otherwise. Each of the battleplans includes a map reflecting the landscape on which the battle is fought; these maps usually show a battlefield that is 6 feet by 4 feet in size, but you can use a smaller or larger area if you wish. THE ARMIES One player commands a group of heroes from the Legions of Nagash and their opponent commands the army encircling their position. The Legions of Nagash player may only select units with the HERO keyword. The Encircling player’s army should be approximately 50% larger than the Legions of Nagash player’s army. Each army has a unique command ability, shown below. LEGIONS OF NAGASH OBJECTIVES The enemy have you surrounded! Your forces are smashed, but while you still stand, you can strike down the foe and turn their own dead against them! ENCIRCLER’S OBJECTIVES You have the enemy commanders cornered and at your mercy. You must destroy them swiftly before they can raise another army! LEGIONS OF NAGASH COMMAND ABILITY Desecration: If your general uses this ability, until your next hero phase, each enemy unit within 6" of any slain unit markers (see The Dead Rise, below) must re-roll successful battleshock tests. ENCIRCLER’S COMMAND ABILITY Flee!: If your general uses this ability, you may pick a friendly unit with less than 25% of its starting number of models remaining. Remove that unit from the battlefield. It does not count as slain for the purposes of The Dead Rise. THE BATTLEFIELD Set up terrain using the instructions on the Warhammer Age of Sigmar rules sheet. You may wish to have a hill or raised area at the centre of the battlefield upon which the Legions of Nagash force can conduct its last stand. SET-UP Do not use the set-up instructions on the Warhammer Age of Sigmar rules sheet. Instead, the Legions of Nagash player sets up their army in their territory first. After this, the Encircler must split their army into 2 groups, as evenly as possible. They then set up one group in each of their territories. FIRST TURN The Legions of Nagash player decides who takes the first turn in the first battle round. THE DEAD RISE Whenever a unit from the Encircling player’s army is destroyed, mark the position of the last model to be removed (a coin is ideal for this), along with a note of the combined Wounds characteristic total for that unit. At the end of each turn, the Legions of Nagash player may set up a SUMMONABLE unit with a combined Wounds characteristic equal to or less than the destroyed unit, wholly within 9" of the marker and more than 9" from any enemy models, and add it to their army. If they do so, remove the marker. Designer’s Note: When setting up a SUMMONABLE unit using The Dead Rise, above, we find it makes the battle far more evocative if you set up a unit appropriate to the one that was destroyed. For example, units of Zombies and Skeleton Warriors would be suitable replacements for units of infantry, whereas Black Knights would be a good replacement for cavalry. VICTORY Do not use any of the victory conditions on the Warhammer Age of Sigmar rules sheet. If a player has no models left at the end of any battle round, the battle ends and their opponent wins a major victory. Otherwise, the game ends at the end of the fifth battle round. The Encircling player wins a major victory if they destroy more than 75% of their opponent’s HEROES. The Encircling player wins a minor victory if they destroy more than 50% of their opponent’s HEROES. If the Encircling player destroys fewer than 50% of their opponent’s HEROES, the Legions of Nagash player wins a major victory (only HEROES that were set up at the start of the game count towards these victory conditions).

Battleplan

Ancient Warriors

Graveyards, mausoleums and gorestrewn battlefields are fine recruiting grounds for the Legions of Nagash, for they are ripe with corpses that can be suffused with necromantic energy, dragged from their graves to join the endless armies of the Great Necromancer. Many battles are fought between the legions and those who seek to prevent the desecration of their ancient tombs. This battleplan lets you re-enact such a battle, pitting a host of the Legions of Nagash that seeks to defile a hallowed resting place against a force of outraged guardians. These defenders could be zealous Sigmar-worshippers, feral boneyard orruks or even skullhoarding Bloodreavers.

THE ARMIES
One player commands an army from the Legions of Nagash, and their opponent commands the region’s defenders, striking out to protect their honoured dead from being raised into eternal servitude.

LEGIONS OF NAGASH OBJECTIVES
These ancient gravesites will provide a bountiful supply of new fighters to swell your ranks. Free these valuable assets from their entombment and you will be unstoppable!

DEFENDER’S OBJECTIVES
The foul minions of Nagash seek to disturb the eternal rest of your honoured dead. Such sacrilege cannot be allowed to come to pass. March out and destroy their forces before they can turn your own ancestors against you!

LEGIONS OF NAGASH COMMAND ABILITY
Be Quick!: If your general uses this ability, add 3" to the Move characteristic of friendly within 9" of them until the end of the following movement phase.

DEFENDER’S COMMAND ABILITY
Barricade the Entrance: If your general uses this ability, pick a friendly unit within 3" of a cairn entrance. Until your next hero phase, whilst that unit remains within 3" of that entrance, the Legions of Nagash player may not summon any units from it.

THE BATTLEFIELD
The battlefield represents a series of tombs set into the sides of a valley. Generate the scenery for this battle as described on the Warhammer Age of Sigmar rules sheet. You may wish to mark the six cairn entrances, as shown on the map, with suitable markers.

SET-UP
Do not use the set-up instructions on the Warhammer Age of Sigmar rules sheet. Instead, the Defender sets up their army in their territory first. Then, the Legions of Nagash player sets up their army in their territory.

FIRST TURN
The Legions of Nagash player decides who takes the first turn in the first battle round.

ANCIENT TOMBS
At the end of each of the Legions of Nagash player’s movement phases, if a friendly DEATH HERO is within 3" of a cairn entrance, they may declare that they will summon new forces from it. Roll a D3 on the following table to see what kind of unit is summoned, then place the unit wholly within 9" of the cairn entrance and more than 9" from any enemy models. If you are unable to place the unit, or do not wish to, then the newly raised warriors may instead lurk within the tomb and not take part in the battle. The cairn entrance is then marked as having been defiled and may not be summoned from again. You may wish to remove its marker from the battlefield to represent this.

D3	RESULT
1	Ancient General’s Honoured Mausoleum Choose one unit: • Up to 20 Skeleton Warriors • Up to 10 Grave Guard • Up to 5 Black Knights • 1 WIGHT KING
2	Noble Household’s Ancestral Tomb Choose one unit: • Up to 20 Skeleton Warriors • Up to 3 Spirit Hosts • Up to 5 Hexwraiths • 1 Tomb Banshee
3	Royal Bloodline’s Gilded Crypt Choose one unit: • Up to 30 Skeleton Warriors • Up to 20 Grave Guard • Up to 3 Spirit Hosts • Up to 1 WIGHT KING and up to 1 Tomb Banshee

VICTORY
Do not use any of the victory conditions on the Warhammer Age of Sigmar rules sheet. Instead, if a player has no models left at the end of any battle round, the battle ends and their opponent wins a major victory. Otherwise, the game ends at the end of the fifth battle round. If 2 or fewer cairn entrances have been defiled, the defender wins a major victory. If 3 cairn entrances have been defiled, the defender wins a minor victory. If 4 or more cairn entrances have been defiled, the Legions of Nagash player wins a major victory.
