I cant explain why Arkhan the Black is so cool
Evil bad ass mummy Lord, he just has this darkness inside him, he has a special monstrous and expandable unit. I really cant wait if there is a Nagash DLC, if he had a mixture of Tomb King and VC type units, it would be so sick.

I think Nagash as LL is only a matter of time. He is simply too big of character to ignore.

Either he will be a part of a classic DLC or maybe we could get End Times Pack as final DLC

He's called "the Black" because his teeth were rotten, by the way.

Its his black teeth (also the origin of his name btw).

He really just wants to help bring about the undead apocalypse so he can finally get some peace and quiet. 100% relatable.

Well no, he is called the black because (when he was alive) he used to consume a root that was known for staining the teeth black. Since he (out of everyone) got the nickname we can assume he either really loved that root or that it wasn't a very popular root.

Arkhan is not a tomb king so it is a strange comparison you are making. I would argue that any tomb king is not very impressive by default. They are basically just forcefully resurrected humans with an undead body. Arkhan became an undead by choice. Also the things Arkhan does Settra, and most others, could never do.
In addition Arkhan gets all the women in the franchise.

Literally the whole undead thing all across the warhammer world exists because Settra thought he was too cool to die. So, so honestly, most probably the biggest badass in all of warhammer besides Archaon... Lorewise... IMO.

That is news to me. Please elaborate.

Settra was the one that demanded of the priesthood to figure out a way to make him immortal.

That research leads to the rise of the cult of the Mortuary Priests eventually leading to Nagash (one of said priests) and the birth of necromancy.

Necromancy, at its core, is basically the bastardized rites of Nehekhara mixed with black magic.

It was Settra that established the mortuary cult, because he wanted to live forever so he could rule the world. All this then later spun off into... the whole Nagash/Neferata thing catastrophe and gave "birth" the vampires and the whole undead thing. Basically Nagash was a disgruntled priest of the mortuary cult.

That is the most far fetched bs ever. That is like saying that all the glory of Plato belongs to Pericles because he was the leader of Athens before Plato made his works. Nagash made necromancy basically from scratch on the basis of dark elf magic.

No mate, why do you think so many necromancers goes on a tour of Nehekhara? As said, necromancy is the bastardized rites of Nehekhara mixed with black magic (at its core btw, not saying that Nagash didn't do a ton of work, even before going ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ insane he was a high ranking member of the cult, he was a genius).

Note that Nagash was a high ranking member of the mortuary cult. Note that Nehekharan rites ALSO raise the dead (the whole tomb king army is raised using Nehekhara rites, not necromancy. With the exception of Arkhan the black and other followers of Nagash off course). He combined that with black magic he learned from torturing dark elves.
