Firstly, thanks for making this - you clearly put a lot of time and effort into this. I'm hoping we get to see Neferata in Warhammer Total War especially as they confirmed there will be two legendary lords per faction, it would also allow a more political heavy playthrough. You did miss one very important fact - she is the old worlds biggest cat lady! Seriously she ha a massive cat obsession and favoured handmaidens are 'honoured' to be allowed to look after one of her cats. You also mentioned her shapeshifting into a panther but didn't mention her mist form which she was able to use offensively by turning to mist - travelling into an opponent and then re-materialising inside them - messy!
I'm wh3 one of the grudges is retaking the silver pinnacle and sealing her "evil" in a tomb for the massacre of the dwarfs so i think with their close work with GW that it's cannon that she assaulted it
Abhorash is still awesome always will be, the dude drained a dragon. I kinda wish they would make more about him and Neferata cause to much Von Carstein.
me personally I never really liked Neferata but if it wasn't for her Abhorash wouldn't have been a vampire kinda a moot point but my favorite is when she gets lanced by him though
Isn't there a Chaos warrior who specializes in destroying undead? I think he's got the nickname of Harry the Hammer or something by 4chan's /tg/ board.
should definitely be a legendary lord in total Warhammer 2 or 3. i'm guessing that in upcoming Warhammer total war 2 the extra race is skaven, so probably Warhammer total war 3. Be great if theyintroduced the tomb kings and Neferata together, either with Neferata as her own vampire faction below the Badlands, or as a part of the tomb kings faction.. definatley as a lord though
One thing I never understood is why would Nagash have trouble fighting the Tomb Kings. In the first or second novel he explains that the reason why no undead can fight him is because he created that which made them immortal and whom they are. Feels kind of contradicting don't you think.
I get the whole soul aspect, no control over their actions, but what I'm talking about is completely destroying them. He explains like he created the strings that control the body of the undead, in other words that which keeps everything together. He explains that it would be a matter of just pulling that string and watching them fall apart. I think is just a contradiction that they writers didn't even notice when creating the Tomb Kings.
***** To be honest I can live with contradictions, like you said it is understandable when multiple ppl write stuff. What pisses me off is the fact that they went ahead and confirmed a bunch of things that were better left as unknown, for example, if Sigmar is really a god or not.
+Jack Burton My understanding of this is that it all changed with Settra's reawakening. All the tomb kings and their servants are ultimately pledged to him, so whilst the magic animates them, their will belongs to Settra
darkside2er It is explained that it is a war of wills, so I guess anyone can defy Nagash's calling. To be honest what I think happened is that they needed some type of enemy so Nagash could just destroy everyone so they decided, hey lets create a faction that opposes him on his own area of expertise. I take this from his novels when it is explain that he can do what he does because he was the one who defied the gods, pretty much all of them.
I can't help but notice that, though the main story line is right, I noted a few key errors that the books contradict you on. The big one for me being that her brother and husband was the one that stole the books of Nagash with aid from Arkhan the Black, whom was kept in a state of semi death on drugs and with a bullet in his heart, as when an Immortals heart is stopped the Immortal doesn't die but instead is trapped within their body which appears a corpse. If the heart is allowed to beat and the object such as the bullet removed, the Immortal immediately begins to live again as the elixirs power begins to pump through their body once more. Her cousin also discovered the truth of her dark arts when Neferata is poisoned and Arkhan (against his better judgement) saves her life but lets the young hand maiden that aided him to live and flee. Khalida somehow discovers this woman and learns the truth and fights her cousin to the death as ritual demands. Neferata desperately attempts to allow her to turn her cousin but Khalida refuses and dies in her arms. My sources are from the Time of Legends books for The Rise of Nagash, and a very good trilogy I recommend to any who wish to learn the fall of Nehekhara.
That really is a shame to hear that 8th edition did that, since the books portray her already manipulative powers growing even before becoming a true vampire as the elixir appears to manifest traits strongest to the one taking it. I do personally prefer the books myself, as when canon is re-written I feel it is due to someone "dropping the ball" by not cross-checking previous work. That said I will not say that 8th edition is wrong, only that personally I will take the Nagash series over them as the plot was brilliantly done in my eyes.
Can you speak closer to the mic or get a better one? Sounds like youre speaking some distance away from the mic, quality is good but it just sounds weird in the intro
I have a sincere question.. Why does the main bad in the Gotrek and Felix series Vampire Slayer claim that the original vampire was nosferatus not neferata ..is this just a wahmen power retcon like most stuff now adays or is there some other explanation?
Her history sucks! Great Work and Narrative though! You do a fine job, her history has nothing to do with you, I was just expecting something better and more original from Nefertatas lore, not a whole lot of sucking and unimpressive backstory. Can't do much about that, lore is lore
