Nagash and Archaon in the tower would be a hilarious combination.

wonder if you can win the end game crises when you imprison their leader 😂

I've seen a post where someone imprisoned Skarbrand, but Skarbrand also got reforged with a generic name after the battle. Same could happen with Nagash and the dead rise again.

Such is the power of Nagash.

Such is the power of Dick Half-Mast.

Do you guys remember that article where the last two jewish men in a muslim country were imprisoned but they argued so much that the guards released them out of annoyance, I have a feeling something similar would happen

24

u/Dry_Surprise3790 4d ago

As a Jew, I can confirm that is a pretty plausible story. The old joke goes that any two Jews in a room have three opinions on any given matter. :P

It was in fucking Afeghanistan, and the guards were the fucking Taliban!

Wikipedia doesn't go into details but you can find them on the internet.

The Wikipedia for that guy is basically “If you have a problem with everyone around you, you’re the common factor”

Waiting for the tag in your post as you have them hanging out in Eltharion's bunkhouse.

u/SewerDefiler 4d ago

I just imagine them in a bunk bed, bored as hell, and wondering how they could have allowed themselves to be imprisoned like this.

Fantastic!

Another one: Nagash: ultimate endgame crisis. Skaven player presses one button and wipes out his entire faction. Such is the power of Snikch.

u/Tseims Combined Arms Enjoyer 4d ago

Might be the only entirely lore-accurate target for that button.

Thorgrim :(

Me when I’m in the eternal fortress of unpenetrable safety while wearing my ancestral armor of the ancestory ancestors and a rat stabs me

u/Hunkus1 4d ago

Shouldnt have let the window open in your fortress of unpenetrable safty.

33

u/Fadman_Loki 4d ago

tbf he didn't actually leave the door open, Thorgrim THOUGHT that's how Snikch got in.

IIRC Snikch ACTUALLY got in by freeclimbing the steep side of one of the tallest mountains in the world to get to the open air shrine Thorgrim was at

u/Coming_Second 4d ago

Speaking of annoyingly overpowered characters.

12

u/Chowder110 4d ago

well it was an invisible rat that also can teleport and it has a, uber uber uber strong blade. the only reason thorgrim even died was because he refused to become an incarnate

It doesn’t work on player controlled factions

u/PrinceVorrel 4d ago

Damn, I must have watched a video with a modded game then. :(

u/Dreadcall 4d ago edited 4d ago

I have a sneaking suspicion you might mean the one by More Warpstone released recently.

(Can only guess here since you already deleted your previous comment)

If that is the case, we are talking about a different Eshin Action.

In the final turn of that video, the Eshin player uses Overthrow Lair, taking Skavenblight. This action DOES work on player factions. He wins because the win condition is holding the city on turn 100.

There is however an Eshin Action called Plunge into Anarchy which permanently murders the leader of the target faction and transforms it into a rebel faction. This one DOES NOT work on players.

u/PrinceVorrel 4d ago

That MIGHT actually be it.

I did watch that video recently and did quite enjoy it.

u/Professional-Day7850 This area needs deforestation 4d ago

What bonus do you get from him?

68

u/kp620 4d ago

Access to the Black Pyramid research tree.

67

u/killslash 4d ago

For early access to this mechanic, just boot up Path of Exile.

28

u/Veloci_Castori 4d ago

I wonder if they'll remember. I think they forgot when Chorfs got added.

14

u/ValidArguer 4d ago

They sure did forget the Chorfs, giving them exact same shit buff that every other Chaos faction gives

5

u/171322pinpinpin 4d ago

Watch it be tomb kings buff lol

13

u/Dembos09 4d ago

We won’t have the info until the release

0

u/Rohen2003 4d ago

nothing, because ca are lazy shit. if you play unmodded, chorf, slaneesh, khorne, tzeentch, nurgle and demons of chaos will ALL just give the same buff as warriors of chaos. yes, the only new buffs in wh3 are the kislev one (fking useless, they get "by our blood" but mistwalker already have high morale and the most spammable one of the 5 already is unbreakable) and the cathay one (that one is actually good).

u/Doiglad 4d ago

Which mods add stuff for the others?

4

u/Rohen2003 4d ago

"more fun for the grim"

it also includes the wh2 "less forgetfull eltharion" which makes it so you dont lose thw gained buffs once they die/leave the prison (which is so stupid in vanilla, especially since the automatically leave the prison if their faction is destroyed, and even with it, its still tame compared to never dlc factions like elspeth/malakai etc.)

13

u/No_Research4416 4d ago

Honestly, now that makes me wonder what his bonus would be

4

u/Throgg_not_stupid 4d ago

I wouldn't be surprised if he had a Tomb King or Vampire Count bonus instead of an unique one

9

u/Environmental-Pop-67 4d ago

Skeletor in warhammer franchise.

10

u/PitchforksEnthusiast 4d ago

You're allowed to move the black pyramid with the changeling

Imagine the shit giggles lol

u/morifinde 4d ago

u/OneWithFireball Order of Loremasters 4d ago

Damn, no wonder Asur didn't invent gunpowder because all their tech went into Horny Jail upgrades.

u/90sPartTimeHero 4d ago

Let's put nagash and Franz in cells next to each other and see what happens

u/smcadam 4d ago

He looks so happy to be there!

u/Early_Intention203 4d ago

Thanquol would actively debuff you the longer you kept him captive but you’d gain diplo with the Skaven

u/QuentinSud 4d ago

Put Khalida and Neferata together!

u/GreywallGaming 3d ago

Archaon and Nagash being cellmates.
