I have begun to listen to the teaching my blood whispers to me.

Arkhan The Black , couldnt do the reigns because the rider and the head are magnetized.

Arkhan, Mortarch of Sacrament, as seen in Age of Sigmar’s Legions of Nagash supplement.

All art in GW’s modern publications seems to go uncredited; if anyone knows the artists involved I’d be super happy to update & re-post with that information.

Mortarch of Grief

So apparently the new Death Nighthaunt army is getting its own new female Mortarch to lead it! That’s really exciting! I’ve seen rife speculation as to who she could be, although I’ll admit I don’t rule out her being someone entirely new. Personally I might even prefer if she were someone new...but the most common guesses I’ve seen so far are;

Isabella: Grief could make sense for her in terms of missing Vlad, also could open the door to Vlad returning as a Mortarch eventually, I know he was super popular in End Times.

Khalida: The logic here is probably Neferata’s Sister and Undead but, I’ll admit, I find this one unlikely.

Aliathra: I PRAY NOT. PLEASE DON’T. ;-;

Eldyra: I can somewhat see it...she was, depending on accounts, either a vampire or a new elven goddess of death at the end...it could be interesting, though I would prefer if she was part of Tyrion’s new faction. I also just don’t know if any Aelf souls are reasonable just because none of them really got out till Tyrion and co. already grabbed them.

‘A pretty trick, that, but ultimately useless, bag o’ bones. You stand alone. Your god has abandoned you. Nagash is nowhere to be seen, and Nurgle is with me.’ ‘I am used to solitude,’ Arkhan said. ‘Even alone, I am more than a match for every daemon in your pestilential horde. Summon more, if you will. Call up flies and beasts by the score, I will outlast them all.’ He set his staff and extended his tomb-blade towards the ranks of plaguebearers which surrounded him. ‘I am the right hand of death, little pus-bag. Test me at your peril.’

Arkhan. The. Black. 

Is the best damn Mortarch by a country mile

Stuff I finished in 2021: She Who Thirsts (literally).

BLOOD OF MY BLOOD! The time of secrets and shadow is done. Now is the hour of blade and fang. Where feel you the turbulence of breath, bring STILLNESS! Where hear you the clamour of pulses, bring SILENCE! Where smell you the tang of living sorcerers... BRING ME THEIR BEATING HEARTS!

BLOOD OF MY BLOOD! YOU HAVE YOUR ORDERS! ATTACK!

I have been painting Neferata on & off since late 2015. This year I finish her! But not yet.
