Yeah Nagash is still a Priest (and a Wizard). In End Times he ate the Gods of Nehekhara and can cast from the Lore of Vampires, Nehekhara, Death, Undeath and Light. He hasn't gotten to the point of voring Gods at the moment thankfully.

And also, because armour needs to move and you need to take it on and off and no one welds armour together! WTF 4e? Did the writers look up armour and find stuff about tank armour being welded and just run with it?

To be fair, armour definitely is welded together, its just that without that basic welding, you can't make armour in the first place, so if Umgi have armour, they definitely can weld.

(i am, of course, talking about pressure welding, of which smiting a hammer upon two pieces of red hot steel is a subsection)

I didn't know what voring was before this post, and I was happier for it.

Shame on You Codex! for tainting the innocent!

Shame on you Horium! For somehow being innocent on the internet!

And Shame on me! for shaming!

Shame!

Does anyone know where the hat is, and more importantly can we steal it?

Nagash was revived in End Times by Arkhan using a place called the Nine Daemons in Sylvania (calcified corpses of nine daemons) as a ritual site, using the Nine Books of Nagash and Nagash's staff as components. Arkhan then sacrificed several Divine blooded individuals, such as the Fey Enchantress and Aliathra, using their blood as a component in a cauldron that he had placed Volkmar the Grim onto. He then sliced off Volkmar's arm and replaced it with Nagash's Arm, stitching it onto him, then he smashed the Fellblade, which cursed Nagash's corpse, preventing him from returning with any power.

Using all of these components and after a powerful ritual during Gehemnisnacht, Arkhan managed to successfully revive Nagash by using Volkamr as a host for Nagash's new body. This worked because Volkmar was Sigmar's descendant, his Heir. Basically a DIO situation.

The hat and robes came with Nagash, since Volkmar certainly didn't have them and Arkhan didn't collect them for him. Making clothes is the least of Nagash's abilities.

So what you're saying is that to steal the Necro-pope's hat we need to resurrect him first? Good thing we have the Liber Mortis then!

Monotheism arises within every Cult to varying degrees. The Rhyans have the Brotherhood of Amar, the Ranaldians have Jemarism, Manann has (well, will have as of this point in the timeline) a subsect of an apocalyptic sect called the Dyke, Myrmidians have Tavolians. In Sigmarism there's two significant strains of monotheism: the 'Truth of Sigmar' that says that Ulric elevated Sigmar to Godhood but then He and all the other Gods died fighting Chaos and were replaced by the Chaos Gods pretending to be Them, and the Wolfenburgians who somehow invented Gnosticism and say that there's only two Gods, one good and one evil, and that Sigmar is the good one. All forms of monotheism are considered heresy and anyone preaching it for any God gets pursued by the Witch Hunters.

(Also I think 'monodominantism' is a 40k term, rather than something used in Fantasy.)

It's very fortunate that Mathilde was present to stop heretical monotheism from corrupting yet another innocent, untainted pantheon. :rolleyes:

........... How are their corpses of daemons still there? Don't they evaporate as time goes on? Better yet how the heck did daemons calcify ?! They are made of solid warp energy, not mundane bone and carbon I think. It is very surprising, any idea how that happened?

This is the relevant passage from End Times Nagash:

"As for Arkhan, he paid the encroaching armies no mind, and instead began preparations for Nagash's return. Wagons of bone and tattered skin carried the necessary artefacts and sacrifices eastwards to the Glen of Sorrows and the ancient stone circle known as the Nine Daemons. Peasant lore recounted that these were not monoliths at all, but the calcified bodies of daemons imprisoned for eternity. Arkhan did not care whether or not this tale was true – he was concerned only that the circle sat upon a confluence of the geomantic web, and thus the winds of magic blew strongly about its stones. Come Geheimnisnacht, Nagash would rise again!"

I was also confused, but I suppose the key word there is imprisoned. By who, I don't know. And in case you're wondering if the peasant lore is true, it is, because later on it is outright mentioned that there are actual daemons sealed in there.

So if he can create clothing, do you think he might have also hidden the dread arts of taco-creation in his Books?

I don't know about that, but did you know that the Books of Nagash have people in them?

"All around the circle, the Books of Nagash suddenly snapped open. Arkhan had barely drawn upon their power during the ritual of resurrection, but now the tomes sprung to activity. Pages of blood-inked skin riffled back and forth as Nagash reclaimed the magic he had set within the volumes long ago. Ancient spirits shrieked as they were torn free of their aeons-long prisons. They swirled around the Great Necromancer, ghostly comets orbiting a great darkness, ever seeking to escape, but unable to deny the implacable will that bound them. One by one, Nagash drew these desperate spirits to him, snuffing them out with a pinch of his fingers, and devouring their essence. Nagash cast his hands skywards and a pillar of darkness pierced the heavens. The last of the spirits were drawn behind and swept into the swirling thunderheads. As lightning cracked across the heavens, the Great Necromancer spoke the final words of power, reached his magics deep into the heart of the Great Vortex, and tore out his prize. "
 
If it's made of people, then yes he can make a burrito. It's not that hard to twist flesh around and fold it like that.
