If a warscroll battalion has an allegiance, it can be taken in an army if it has the same allegiance, even if some of the units are from a different faction, but these units do not benefit from the armies allegiance abilities unless they have the appropriate keyword.There are also two other allegiances one for Soulblight and one for generic Death. They are themed around Nagash and his three top generals.

Furthermore, if you are playing Matched Play if your general dies that means no resurrecting dead summonable units (except for Legion of Sacrament).ДЄ bit of a long one as there are 4 allegiances for the Legions of Nagash.

The removal of magical summoning also means you can't bring in new units, only bring back the ones that are completely destroyed if they have the summonable keyword, and you need to use a command ability to do so.

How many skeletons do you want to paint? Whatever that number is youвЂ™ll need to paint more than that.

Quite a few slow units, including the all-important necromancer.

Rend -1 is effectively rend -2 for your skeletons, grave guards, black knights and blood knights.

Our shooting is extremely short ranged but they can put on some serious damage. With good positioning of our banners and the Overwhelming Dread spell our limited shooting can deal a fair amount of mortal wounds.

One thing to note about our unconventional ranged weapons is that they all contest a leadership score Usually 2d6 vs their bravery.

Doesn't support Tomb Kings, the Flesh Eater Courts or the Mourngul.

That said, the Terrorghiest still has the best range out of all the variations in this box.

Prince Vhordrai is just a named VLoZD, just with a ranged ability with an 8' range, rather than a 9' range and a less assassin-y spell. though Nagash can shoot death lasers from his eyes. Ghosts, Terrorgheists and Zombie Dragons are all there is here.There are handful of short-range shooting attacks. At least vanilla skellies are stupidly easy to paint, and yet again, you don't need to be a Golden Demon winner to paint the armor of more complex models.Vampire fullplate knights with lances are fuckin metal.Battleshock is unlikely given that everybody's Bravery 10.You can also get them back with the use of a Command Ability given to your general. Is a summonable unit dead? Did you just kill an enemy unit within 6' of a gravesite? Start rolling your d6 because on a 4+, congrats! You get that unit back for free.In a perfect storm thatвЂ™s 400 attacks at 4+/4+!!!! Did you play Orks in 40k? Would you like to throw a bucketful of dice? Well, if you get a unit of 40 skeletons into combat and buff them properly, theyвЂ™ll be getting 5 attacks each with the possibility of piling in and attacking twice with Vanhels Danse Macabre.

YouвЂ™ve got 4 legions to choose from as well as Death and Soulblight factions so you can test out a lot of stuff and play with lots of variations on a theme.

More bodies with better durability for the cost than most and the ability to bring models back, when the stars line up you can end the game with net zero lost models.

A solid range of plastic miniatures and plenty of possibilities for conversion (looking at you triumvirate of Ynnead/vampires!).

You also get zombies, ghosts and all sorts of other creepy goodness!

SPOOKY SCARY SKELETONS! Do you want to see hordes and hordes of skeletons endlessly marching out of the grave and pinging whatever it looks at with literally 400 attacks? Well, this is what you're going to want to play.

Dragon age legion of the dead
