Sigmar invades the realm in revenge for what he sees as the betrayal at the All Points, he destroys many powerful servants of Nagash before he retreats to Azyr. [25]

Ward Against Abomination - Upon casting this spell, and for as long as the wizard remains motionless thereafter, Undead creatures are incapable of coming within several yards of their person. Mummies, Vampires, Wights, Wraiths, and other powerful or strong-willed Undead may attempt to resist the spell, however. [1e] Morr's Peace - The wizard blesses one of his comrades with the ability to have no fear of death. [6a] Shyish blows strongest wherever death must be faced or endings take place. It is drawn to battlefields where men must embrace or submit to their deaths, and because all soldiers must accept the possibility of their own demise as part of their daily life. Shyish lingers around the gibbets of execution and hangs in the silence of graveyards where mourners gather in longing and reminiscence.

The schemes

The other key change is when these spells are moved. Previously Predatory Spells were moved at the top of the round, and now they are moved in both players Hero phases. That means double the damage (or whatever your spell does). General Trends The peoples of Shyish are grim, somber and insular. Life is tainted with a since of dread, for the threat of Nagash hangs over their heads, like a cruel executioner's axe. In so, quite ironically, this mentality has breed fearsome warriors and mages. For the realms peoples will attempt live as long as possible and will fight any enemy tooth-and-nail. For many fear they will become the tormented slaves of Nagash when they die. [27] The Lore of Death, also known as Amethyst magic is associated with Shyish, the purple wind of magic. The power of Shyish comes from the ending of things, the slow decline of the soul, and the certainty and terrible awe of death that all sentient creatures must face at some point. Shyish tells us that even though physical form must inevitably come to an end, creation is permanent, and there exist forces larger than our mortal selves that deserve respect and even reverence. Shyish is drawn to places where death must be faced, or where things are brought to an end. [4a]

Dhar), represents the primal Chaotic source of magic. Spells cast using dark magic use multiple strands of magic in its raw, unrefined form. Dark Elves are the most renowned users of dark magic, but specialised forms of Dhar are used in the Necromancy of Necromancers and Vampires, first harnessed and honed by Nagash to raise the dead on a vast scale. It is known that by sacrificing "volunteers" it can increase the power behind the spells of Dark Magic. Ice Magic is a mysterious form of magic seemingly practised only by women in Kislev especially the Tzarinas whose Khan-Queen ancestors first developed it. It has rarely been used outside of Kislev. [4a] Lore of the Great Maw I love using them as base colours for large armies and glazing over layers on highly detailed miniatures for extra colour saturation. The expansion of the Contrast range with new colours gives hobbyists an amazing opportunity to try different things!In fact, there are two different “versions” of the college. One, seen by most, is completely abandoned. The other, visible only to those who have arcane knowledge of the Amethyst lore, is where the college’s activities take place. This one looks much like the mundane version, but is much less dusty, and living things (including wizards) are present in it. [5b] Death's Door: The caster and allies can not die immediately but can very briefly delay their passing. [8a]

Gate of Corpses: An arch of writhing human remains that stands in the central courtyard of Voldyr Keep in the Fallow Kingdom of Voldyr. A gate to Azyr. [5c] Primed Vallejo Mecha Primer (Sand). This is a shade or two darker than GW’s Wraithbone but has a nice satin finish, perfect for Contrast paints. Originally, this spell had 3 components which allowed you to roll a die for each unit within 6″ of any one of the pieces. On a 3+ it halved their movement. Additionally, roll a die at the start of the movement phase for each of these units. They deal D3 Mortal wounds on a 6. Now, units within 6″ can’t run or charge and it kept the mortal wounds! Ossia: In the Age of Myth a place of peace where the dead and the living worked together, now armies of Nighthaunts arise and fall upon the remaining forces of Chaos. [25]A reality of endings and the grave, the Realm of Shyish is a place of the dead. The embodiment of death and inevitability. [27] Even for those with the sight, the White Wind is almost invisible, showing itself as a lightly glowing haze, but as it is often found in bright, sunlit places, it is difficult to spot. The wind’s fleeting nature also makes it difficult to manipulate. [1a] The spear shaft is just Aggarose Dunes Contrast. Contrast paints don’t do so well on flat surfaces, but I don’t mind a little pooling or brush marks on something that’s supposed to have texture, like wood or leather. Lying somewhere between Petty Magic and the Colour magic it is made up of powerful spells that are based on the teachings of Teclis. [4a] Beasts There are several kinds of magic but most wizards are able to use only a single form. Just as Chaos is represented as an eight pointed star, the winds of magic consist of eight colours or lores. Since magic is closely associated with Chaos, it carries with it an inherent risk to its users, and all wizards walk a narrow road between power and damnation. [4a]
