A Warhammer: The Old World Omnibus

Nagash, priest king of Khemri, embarks upon a quest for immortality that will spark a war, destroy an empire, and unleash a plague of undeath that will blight the world forever.

READ IT BECAUSE
Even gods start somewhere, and the God of Death is no different. Nagash was once a humble (well, okay, maybe not humble) priest king who changed the world forever by sheer will. Travel back to the Old World and find out how in a trio of classic novels and a short story.

THE STORY
Nagash was the first necromancer and the supreme lord of undeath. He wrested the secrets of dark magic from the elves and perverted them to suit his ends. When the priest-kings of Nehekhara stood united against him, he broke their armies and sacked their cities. He raised the largest army of the dead the world has ever known and became an immortal dark god. His deeds are legend. This is his story.

Explore the Nehekharan empire, flourishing in the hot desert lands far to the south of the Old World in Nagash the Sorcerer. Unbeknown to its people, this mighty kingdom is about to be shaken to its very foundations…

Nagash the Unbroken finds Nagash licking his wounds in the mountains of Nehekhara, having suffered defeat on the battlefield at the hands of the priest kings. Over time, he rebuilds his strength and finds new allies in the skaven, mutant ratmen that live beneath the earth.

Nagash must call upon all his reserves of power to defeat a skaven assault and continue his unholy reign in Nagash Immortal. When he realises he can use his enemy for his own nefarious needs, an uneasy alliance is struck and a vast, nightmarish army is formed.

A Gotrek Gurnisson Novel

Greywater Fastness – an industrial canker in the heart of Ghyran. Foundries and metalworks pump soot and fire endlessly into the skies of the Realm of Life. Dusty streets hide peril at every turn, and attacks by the Dreadwood Sylvaneth hamper the city’s relentless encroachment.

READ IT BECAUSE
Gotrek takes on some of his earliest enemies again – the scheming skaven! It may be a different time, and a different world, but the legendary Slayer hasn’t lost his knack for dealing with vermin.

THE STORY
Gotrek Gurnisson barges into Greywater Fastness seeking answers as to why his Fyreslayer rune is mysteriously waning. But finding them in the stronghold’s clogged and blackened arteries may prove far more difficult than first thought, and with skaven warlocks building something deep underground – something that will cement their place in skavendom forever – Gotrek begins to wonder if he might instead find that which has eluded him these past ages – his doom.
