Nagash - Warhammer's Biggest "Jerk" 

I guess nagash really will Nash everybody till he has no BODY to play with! Get it? Cause he's a skele- *I'll see myself out*

Speaking of which, do you plan on doing another Do or Don’t for total war? I loved the Khorne one

This lets you play every flavour corpse tarpits, cause what's unlife without terrain coordinating your disposable minions.

I’m so glad you do these kind of videos. You should do videos like left 4 dead , dead by daylight, and so on. Also your voice is fantastic. In fact, would you rather ride a bike with joe Biden or fight the nagash faction?

HOOOOLY SHIT THE NECRONS HAVE A TITAN ON FORGE-WORLD It looks amazing in my *humble* opinion, almost like they tried to make a small Covenant Scarab based off of the Tyrranid Hierophant Which shouldn't make it look like a Scarab maybe but then again the actual scarab might be a little too beefy for the Necron aesthetic. I really want the Halo Infinite campaign to be expanded so we can climb aboard a Scarab again.

exactly yes-yes

If I recall Manfred saved the King of Bretonnia by killing Festus.

@@spoof6023 Festus was killed by Vlad, but only after he killed Louen

Seriously

You know you're an evil person when an entire race of cunning rat engineers helps the good guy stop you

Daah i love buck he's such a fun character.

There is a line in the Babylon 5 series when Sheridan returns from Z'ha'dum. "Captain were sorry we thought you were dead" and Sheridan responds "I was...I'm better now". Reminds me of Nagash, only he says it over and over and over again, lol.

@@scottperry7311 never watched Babylon 5 if I ever do now I have something to keep an eye out for. 👍

"You really thought killing me would kill me?"

@@Never_heart Anos Voldigoad, is that you?

Orks during the war of the beast: *"first time?"*

Well, he is responsible for the creation of he undead and managed to ascend to godhood. That has to count for something.

That just means that when he's finally allowed to succeed it's gonna be another lore pillar

Ah yes big stupid hats very important

Excepto when he won.

The Soviet Union vs Comunist China.

It's even better than that, Nagash pushed them back all the way to Skavenblight and was only pushed back again when the Skaven invented the Warpfire Thrower. That and a few other inventions saved the skaven from total annihilation. I have come up with an ideal while writing this that one of those may have been the skaven just flat out removing women's rights. It has no basis in anything, but it would be interesting.

Same XD

If it was that guy from the extended car insurance warranty I would have done the same thing

@@JD-bk4zi I'm sure we all would.

To be fair - said summoner (one of Neferata’s traitorous courtiers) thought he was calling Nagash back from the beyond so likely thought he would have some degree of control over him. If I got a phone call from a stranger with an attitude implying I should do what they say, I’d probably react similarly - “ex-fucking-scuse you?!”

So like a Darth Vader situation--

Theres also Å, Ä and Ö, so plenty to work with.

@@TheSycotik And we haven’t even gotten to Cyrillic

It is evil. It is so evil. It is a bad bad plan that will hurt many people that are good. I think it's great because it's so bad.

Literally dave Miller

Raising all the dead is like standard necromancer bbeg, necromancing your own body to just say fuck you to death is original

@@albertlofling7310 in my mind, a human who necromancies themselves is pretty common. It’s like a “Lich”, a lot of Lich turned themselves because they were once powerful wizards.

@@RussiaDaily no see a lich just locks part of their soul away. Dying and pupeteering your own body is different

Nagash is the Chaos God of sociopathy. The one even Malal doesn't want to talk about

I take OP's point. Complexity and nuance for an escapist hobby kinda muddies things up.

Villains acting like villains is not something we get every now and then. It's all 'We live in a society' shtick were getting with our bad guys.

Nuance and complexity certainly have their place, but sometimes you just want to see a big bad guy get kicked in the nuts by a paragon of justice.

handsome jack is side by side with him

Jack Horner would call him an irredeemable monster only for Nagash to subject him to a fate so awful that Puss would pity him. Not because he was angry at being called that, he was just bored hearing it literally more times than he could count

There's no such thing as "evil".

@@accelerationquanta5816 When Nagash is in question, Yes there is.

You're standing on a hill watching Nagash's pyramid float through the air. You hear a rat like giggle and watch the pyramid explode in itty bitty bits. While the sound of the big kaboom fades the sound of a very pissed off Nagash keeps increasing in intensity. It sounds like a gigantic FUCKING RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAATS

i need to read/hear this in detail this is hilarious whats it from

@@azariel6669 It's shortly described in the First Edition Battletome for the Daughters of Khaine, but not in any worthwhile reading. It's pretty much brushed aside as the reason Morathi was not there when shit hit the fan in the Pantheon of Order.

@@farseeraradrel4808 shame but thanks for the clarification newbie to AOS myself

@@azariel6669 you're welcome

@@farseeraradrel4808 That made me laugh. At least Sigmar and Nagash aren't simps and I bet everyone in the Order pantheon knew Morathi's true form and just roll with it to troll with her.

Nagash wouldn't even start the game, he'd probably just stab the opponent to win immediately.

""HAH' Nagot yah!!!"

Even though I sometimes despise playing against him. I approve of this

Arousing

1 dear god you would be miserable to play against. 2 I agree with you doing it

Arousing

Nagash keeps underestimating Skaven.

Jimmy or morathi?

Except he was way more succesful than any Warcraft villain Also, wasn't Gul'gan a necromancer too (He created the first death knigts)?

@@user-unos111 Pretty sure that was Ner'zhul.

@@user-unos111 I mean yeah and no. He's a warlock. So pretty much all kinds of dark magic (from demon summoning to soul sucking) is in his repertoire. But mostly he does dark rituals. Demon binding and portals and all that.

I really need a Warcraft + Warhammer Fantasy crossover. It's too rare to be found

I'd say Nagash is leagues worse than Gul'dan. Gul'dan was a massive douche who had a habit of betraying and fucking people over in all sorts of torturous ways, but he acted like it more pragmatically instead of just for shits and giggles. Nagash, on the other hand, did all sorts of incredibly, horrifically fucked-up shit, _simply because he could._

"positively spherical", Imma steal that ma dude...

I’d say more like the edgy kid who was probably planning on shooting up the school. Then reanimating all his victims corpses to make them dab in front of their grieving loved ones. Nagash isn’t so much edgy as he is a tumbleweed of barbed wire.

Nagash gives his PE teacher a note saying "I have no muscles" then leaves the gym.

@@MaSOneTwo 😂😂

At least the Chaos Gods didn't choose to be so evil they made Palpatine look like Valorum

My favorite bit of Warhammer lore is when Nagash said “it’s Nagashing time” and Nagashed all over Nehekhara.

Booooring

Hes like a really shitty abbadon, and abandon is already shitty

@@Si_Sireeni better than some whining bastich who had childhood problems. "oh im an asshole because everyone else was" i prefer "im an asshole because that's who i am"

That’s simply not true. He’s a significant threat if left unchecked, that’s why he always gets checked. But because of who he is, he keeps coming back, and then losing. You don’t become the world biggest dickhead by winning more than losing. His win/lose rate is totally weighed into lose. That’s not to say he isn’t a threat though.

@@jimmymcgill2961 So you're argument is; if he didn't lose so much he would absolutely be a winner, therefore he's a loser. Did I get that right?

The most based take and you understand the original lore and power compared to "age of general audiences"

Arousing

Yeah, even though I don't really find his rise to power all that compelling or believable. Somehow a random ass human is able to accomplish with just a bit of dark magic bullsh*t he learned from random ass dark elves what no other human magic user couldn't do even a fraction of what he did and even then without blowing themselves up or going crazy (to the point of being utterly ineffectual) or mutated into something horrible and other dangers were told comes with dark magic, a mere human doing magic way better than freakin elves, seriously!? Honestly it just seems like plot contrivances in how Nagash manage to survive as long as he did and especially in him acquiring more power without going nuts (well to the point of again being ineffectual) because of bullsh*t like "willpower" which is basically DEUS EX MACHINA, never cared for this whole trying to put a measuring stick on something as vague as willpower.

@@navilluscire2567 Agreed. Nagash after he becomes a lich is a cool character, "genius lich leveraging magic genius, no morals, and time for power" is sweet. No one believing he's entirely dead, and his corruption/influence of necromancy are good lore throughout too. How he got to lichdom and his later power vs defeats are pretty dumb though.

@@johnstonefield1935 Now...don't get me wrong. I LOVE me a good ole'unapologetic HUGE DICK of a villain and Nagash is the embodiment of *"sorry but NOT sorry"* which is to say I enjoy seeing what wacky, despicable, evil thing hell come up with next in the cracked boney head of his. It is just...yeah he got to were he was because of sheer luck and generous amounts of writer favoritism (can be applied to alot of characters..), and I'm thankful to *Raynald* for that!

@@johnstonefield1935 Disagree. His trilogy fleshes his rise to power out in excrutiatingly detail, including his eventual mastery of the winds of magic. All of which is not only believable written, but also far from any "because plot demands it" tropes.

@@navilluscire2567 the emperor in 40k is like that but they didn't even come up with a real reason because they were like "heh, if we give them some random speculations they'll just assume we came up with some ideas so we never have to actually answer it"

Legitimately difficult to consider a villain in any fiction more evil than Nagash

I've read over 60 WH fantasy books so it was nice finding him for that. Finally learned about 40K because it's hard not to find content on it.

Yeah man the most popular red popsicle flavour of space marine needs more fuckin attention

I’ve considered doing subarmies like that for Do or Don’t and as of right now the answer is “Yes, but I’m doing main armies first.” For instance, with the Space Marines it’ll be Do or Don’t: Space Marines first, and then later on I’ll eventually get to the ultramarines, blood angels, etc. etc. those will likely be more lore focused since subfactions are just a variation of the main faction, but I’ll still give those kind of armies the full treatment eventually. That being said it’s a ways off, since I plan on doing EVERY army for both AoS and 40K. Plus, once I upgrade my computer, you can be damn sure there’s gonna be more Do or Don’t: Total Warhammer.

Well there were other death gods but he ate them. Hope that clears things up, such is the power of Nagash.

@@MarkMark-kj9xp That's kinda the problem though? He ate all the other potential death leaders meaning nothing death related happens without old skelly Nagash himself being behind it.

That's nagash for you. He will literally die (again, again, again) unless he is the constant center of attention

i think it’s mainly because he hijacked all the other ideas of death

The problem as others have mentioned is that well…Nagash usurped all the other Death Gods. Maybe if Settra made a return, but he’s too busy being a one man army in the Realms Of Chaos. Yes, I refuse to believe Settra is truly gone

Holy… shit
