History NightmareFuel / WarhammerAgeOfSigmar

* Let's not even talk about the [[OurGhoulsAreCreepier flesh-eater courts]]. First off, unlike most other things in the Grand Alliance of Death, they aren't undead, just [[SharedMassHallucination all under the same exact delusion]]. Unsettlingly enough, they all think that they are men-at-arms and knights in the court of a noble king, when in fact they are a mob of flesh-eating lunatics. Where others see a group of ghouls devouring a corpse, they see their fellow noblemen dining on a victory feast. They see their noble king, draped in fine silks and gold and riding his majestic dragon, approach to congratulate them and join the meal, but it's actually a gore-soaked ghoul king on a [[BatoutofHell terrorgheist]] dropping by to eat the body alongside them. They might believe that they are charging in, swords raised, to slay an army of monsters, when they are in fact hunched abominations with bloodstained clubs made from femurs chasing down a group of fleeing civilians. The worst part? [[InfectiousInsanity It's contagious]], so don't be surprised if your buddies suddenly decide to join the court.

** For added horror, Nagash is the reason that the Stormguard Eternals (see below) come back wrong with each rebirth. Nagash doesn't like the fact Sigmar is taking souls that should go to him to make his little Sigmarines and tries to take them. The small losses of intelligence, emotions, and memories are the parts Nagash is able to claim. Relictors, being undead, don't suffer any loss, though this raises further questions.

*** The trailer for 2018's new Nighthaunt army and Battletome is positively chilling, with a currently unknown female character declaring the dead are done letting Sigmar use them and that ''everything'' will be claimed by the god of death. Nagash has declared all out war on his former ally.

* The Stormcast Eternals. So first you get to watch your entire tribe get butchered by Chaos worshipping monsters despite your best efforts to defend them. Then right before you get murdered yourself you are torn away in blazing thunderbolt to Sigmar's realm where you go through a torturous process of being magically augmented into an immortal demi-god. Then you get sent into the meatgrinder against the very monsters who killed your people. If you live you get to do it all again the next day. If you die you get transported back to Sigmar's realm, are reforged and get to do it all again. To make matters worse, thanks to that greedy asshole AKA Nagash, [[CameBackWrong each reforging is noted as stripping away a piece of your personality, the longer the war lasts and the more you are reforged, the more you become a mindless automaton of death]].

* Hope you don't have murophobia because, unlike nearly every other faction from Warhammer Fantasy, the [[RatMen Ska]][[WeHaveReserves ven]] have come out of the End Times better off than before. Not only did they move Skavenblight into the Warp before the world's destruction, but their god the Horned Rat has become the fourth Chaos god. In addition, it's implied that Skaven have gained the ability to dimension hop between realms at an individual level; so anytime, in any location in any realm a Skaven can pop up and spy on you. Though they've retained their craven nature, when they attack, they never attack alone and they can bring [[HornyVikings more than just Skaven]] [[TheLegionsOfHell dimension-hopping with them]]...

** For further horror, going by the promotional art and model pictures, he brought some of his Mortarchs with him. While some are less evil, such as [[HiddenDepths Arkhan]], it looks like [[TheStarscream Mannfred]] is back too; that's right [[spoiler: the guy most directly responsible for the destruction of the Warhammer world in the End Times]]. On that note, Mortarch of Shadow [[NobleDemon Vlad von Carstein]] [[DroppedABridgeOnHim has been removed from the story]].

* So, Nagash dies horribly during the [[WarhammerTheEndTimes End Times]]? Great news, right? Unfortunately, the biggest bastard in the entire setting has never let dying horribly stop him before. By the time of Age of Sigmar, he has managed to become the single remaining god of death, and now rules '''every''' afterlife. With the possible exceptions of the ones run by Sigmar and Chaos.
