Undead Legions mechanics

In-game description ▾

The history of all Undead beings starts with Nagash, as does that of all who would attempt what Nagash did: achieve power through Necromancy. Throughout time, all kinds have grown into a disparate multitude with goals just as incompatible.

Aristocratic Vampires seek to crown themselves kings and queens and emperors in the mortal tradition. Their buccaneering kin pushes onward into seas uncharted, laying both claim and waste upon the shores they disembark on. The Tomb Kings endlessly burnish the fading past of their ancient kingdom, which promised them immortality, but not of the sort they were granted. Necromancers delve into the millennial secrets left behind by the Great Necromancer himself, to impose their will upon the spirit world.

With Nagash's final coming, that disparate multitude is shaped into a legion with a single purpose – to end all history and do away with all power except that of the Necromancy of Nagash himself.

Campaign

Expand the Land of the Dead, turning all sources of life in the world into a source of power for Nagash. The Land of the Dead’s reach grows with each new Necropolis; however, each one will require sizable amounts of Necromantic Energy from the surrounding provinces in order to develop.

Battle

The Undead Legions command the full power of each Undead faction's rosters. Field the mighty Constructs of the Tomb Kings, alongside the thundering Cavalry of the Vampire Counts and the explosive firepower of the Vampire Coast.
