Back in WHFB Hexwraith were spirits (seemingly not the ghosts of dead people, but things of their own) from the realm of death, that hunted down any soul which somehow escaped (sort of Bounty Hunters/marshals of Morr?). The Necrarch managed to find ways to summon and bind them into service, which is super ironic on account of them basically opposing Undeath. So they were apparently Warhammer Fantasy's Spirit Torments.
@@barthelloren Okay minor correction. They emerge on Hexennacht and hunt those that have cheated death not necessarily escaped from it. There's not explicit connection to Morr and what exactly they are is not given. There is however no mention of them being spirits of the deceased at all. They do however absorb the spirit essence of everyone they kill, which is the explanation for the flames in fantasy.
Absolutely loved this video, no filler, straight to the point and so informative. Now I know how Neo felt, after watching the video I thought - "I know Nighthaunt". Subscribed and now looking forward to absorbing your other videos.
Lady Olynder: I seduced kingdoms and destroyed powerful dynasties for Nagash Reikenor: through my mastery of sorcery and magic to conquer death but was turned to a servant of undeath and damned 100's of my living followers to Nagash Awlrach: I wapped like SOOO MANY people on my ferry. Gotta respect just hard labour to earn your spot.
This is a great video. I wish more of this existed. Too many youtubers talk about how garbage a unit plays or how OP a character is. Gimme the lore lol
It is sad that, despite this sort of content and your book reviews, the meme vids will remain your most popular for quite a while. Still, great content, AoS can always use more lore
Recently got into warhammer and I picked them cause they have the best aesthetic in all of warhammer wasnt super big on lore but DAMN these all have great little one-off story bits that make each unit enjoyable without needing to understand everything about the grand allegiances and gods or whatever and the shit that came before the big boom kinda wish the harridans werent such an iffy unit to work with cause their story is sweet, opposite to the hexwraiths who are a really strong unit but shit flavor text
Some of these paint nagash in a more neutral position. Dealing out very just punishment... While the others are just petty and childish... I LUV this faction.
Nagash gotta be the biggest troll in AOS
Remember kids! It's not a warcrime if the Geneva Convention doesn't exist!
Lol, but even if it did I don't think it acknowledges Souls as an existing thing.
Meet Tzeentch:
This is such an underrated and fun video
Glad to hear that you liked it :)

For lore you're at the right address, my tabletop knowledge is limited though 😅

Ah well, the memes were pretty funny so I can always take solace in that :)
Love this video so much
I need one of these for all of AoS! So good. Sylvaneth next

Looking for more information on the Briar Queen and the Headsman’s curse models any chance of an update that includes those?
Hears about Lady Olynder:
Me: I can fix her
BONK
