Lexicanum has almost all of the lore from the Season of War map.

Someone on DakkaDakka posted spoilers of Lord of Undeath.
>>Right finished the book my first response. This book is a MUST for death fans in my opinion this book goes into what nagash has been planning. I have been making the point that Death only got a page in the all-gate's book but this book developers it further(Plus neferata's story from balance of power) all the Mortarch's appear in the book and we get to see what happened to mannfred after his escapade.
>>On mannfred and if he is independent or not
>>He is not independent and I was right the portal went back to the realm of death. Honestly the Mortarch's are like children in my opinion. Nagash does note he is the most rebellious but among his vassal's mortarch's he resisted chaos the most out of them and his schemes and avarice extend past neferata. He note's that her schemes don't go beyond the flesh..

>>Nagash's plans and the stormcast (I feel it's pretty big) BIG SPOILERS.
>>Right over time I wondered if sigmar has actually been brainwashing stormcast in a sense this has been my theory the book kinda confirms it, nagash does describe the reforging to be similar to necromancy yet different. Now at the end of the novel it reveal's why he left sigmar's forces at his all-gate. He does not like sigmar let's make it clear and he would only make an alliance if it served him and right now it does not he prefer's the stale mate. Right now he is building THE black pyramid when it's done anyone who dies in the realm of death will belong to him. They make a note in the epilogue that within the black gem that trapped a stormcast soul mannfred said it felt familiar yet not. (The anvils of heldenhammer were sent to gain an alliance) Nagash took the answer from his mind and the both realized that sigmar has been poaching mortal's that belong to him from the realm of shyish to reforge into stormcast while he battled Archaon's forces.

So yeah I don't expect an alliance any time soon if ever, oh and Tarsem fate is not mentioned I suspect his soul is within the black pyramid. Considering his past and the fact that he used undead when building his city, had a amethyst cape and also made peace with nagash as a mortal. I suspect he was not a worshiper of sigmar when he was mortal. When reforged I suspect being infused with god kings essence is what cause stormcast to be so loyal to sigmar despite their past and when they get new names. Hell I can see the reason why sigmar is in no hurry to fix the effects of the reforging effects. Oh nagash does also explain why undead tend to be ass hat's when turned vampires liche's etc. The state of being undead the process of becoming one diminishes the soul and must happens because if it did not they would go kinda out of control and end up destroying themselves and everything around them. PS mannfred's castle Nachtsreik is badass as hell.

What do you guys recommend for someone who isn't a first time wargamer, but it would be my first time playing AoS

I'm deciding between Sepharon, Sylvaneth, or Bloodbound

I would go Stormcasts but they seem super overused.

Can you use a tape measure?

Can you hold a paintbrush?

Can you roll d6s?

Seems qualified for me.

Sylvaneth are the worst out of that list though, their tree models are extremely fiddly so if you're not used to assembling models they might give you fits.

Bloodbound are nice and chunky and cheap if you buy a starter set (good if you plan on going stormcasts at some point) so they're super friendly for new painters. Easy to paint too.

Lizardmen have some fiddlybits (seraphon) but overall they're not too complex, and they don't feature much clothing so painting them is super simple.

Bloodbound.
