He doesn't come back from that until Arkhan the Black and Manfred Von Carnstein manage to revive him for the End Times, any plan to kill Nagash would mean we have to revive him first and given what it took to bring him back in End Times, there are some holes in that plan, is what I'm saying.
I mean, if you believe the End Times. I'm generally not in the habit. In everything else, including the 8th edition army book for Vampires, Nagash returned in the Night of Restless Dead in 1681 IC. Which might mean he's dead right now, depending on when in the timeline the quest is, but that's also a state that he's working on changing.
 
Nagash's spirit is still around iirc. His physical body is destroyed such that he can't revive himself and needs some significant confluence of events to create enough oomph to come back.

Nagash won't be dead dead until his spirit/soul is utterly destroyed. Which is a fine goal to work towards.

I'm on mobile and about to go to bed, so I can't quote right now but will in the morning, but I'm pretty sure that his boney ass is sulking in Nagashizzar.

You're right, assuming one leans on 8th edition.

Vampire Counts 8th Edition Army Book said:
1681
The Night of the Restless Dead.
Nagash returns to life once again, 1,666 years after he was slain by Sigmar. For one night, throughout the known world, the dead stir and walk the land, sowing terror and confusion amongst the living. Many vampires come out of hiding and wage war to increase their domains. Countless villages and towns are overrun before the night of terror ends

From the same book, there's also this.
Within his audience chamber at the height of the peak the husk of Nagash sits on his throne of skulls. He has brooded here for over a millennium, waiting and planning, guiding his agents by the power of his thoughts. The only living things within this vast fortress are the disciples of Nagash. These madmen worship Nagash as a god and lead his cult until the day he re-emerges from his citadel to conguer the world. Now infused by the power of the Dark Magic that has surged through the world since the last Chaos incursion, Nagash is almost ready to strike back at the world of the living.

Other editions broadly agree with this. When the End Times said that Nagash was dead and that they needed the whole ritual to bring him back, they were ignoring basically everything else saying he was still around.
 
So... what I'm hearing is that we should probably largely ignore End Times as a source of canon, and thus it's highly likely that Nagash is still around... which means that we can, in fact, assassinate him (should we ever become that badass).

Also, it would be entirely in character to decide to wipe out as many vampires as we could on general principles and in support of our beloved mentor.

From the looks of things, that's not our initial primary goal. Our initial primary goal is to "bring Asaph's message of rebirth and resurrection to the dead lands of her former kingdom". Still, wiping out vampires is the sort of thing that makes an excellent hobby for a priestess and scion of Asaph.
 
It would take a remarkably stupid or brave vampire to come anywhere near the tomb kings.
I'd argue that depends on individual temperament. It's likely not every Tomb King hates the Vampires. Notably, there are a whole bunch who have had little or no interaction with them. There's no point for Vampires to be in Nehekhara though, there's very little there they'd want..
 
So, asking out of pure curiosity, but could it be possible, in the fullness of time, and if Satiah eats her Wheaties, listens carefully to Khalida, and is a good and diligent girl, to use the black pyramid as a KEW against Morselib?
Mind, I'm not proposing it as any kind of end-goal or anything.
Pure mad theoretical science at work here.

Unless that ends with Morrslieb vaporized, continent-sized chunks of it falling down to the surface would make the whole world look like the Chaos Wastes in short order, Vortex be damned. So no, I don't think I can support this.
