Editing Krell (section)

==Age of Sigmar==
So far it doesn't look like Nagash saw fit to restore him in Age of Sigmar. HOWEVER, there is now a unit called "Wight King with Black Axe" that uses Krell's model and functions just as he did (minus the Mortarch of Despair rules), so maybe Nagash [[Avatar of Khaine|brought Krell back in pieces and each one is a fragment of his asskicking ability]]. A glimmer of hope remains as there is a character named 'The Dark Lord of Despair' in the Grand Alliance: Death book. His armies are rumored to be relics from the age of myth, but they say the lord himself is FAR older than that...

Another snippet is shown in the first of the Eight Lamentations book trilogy, Spear of Shadows. In it Chaos champion Ahazian Kel finds a shard of Gung in a crypt in the Realm of [[Shyish]]. Inside is a hulking skeletal corpse that is described as having faded crimson armour covered in bat winged skulls, with a heavy, horned helm, topped by a frayed crest and with a great, black bladed axe. So yeah, that's literally Krell.

During the Stormvault campaign it's revealed that an ancient ally of Nagash was locked away in one of the Stormvaults, but was freed by Lady Olynder. This ally is said to be one Sigmar had a beef with in the past. While there were several it could have been, Krell fit the bill and given the army's bony theme this made him a favorite contender. Later it was revealed to be a new character called Orpheon [[Katakros]], a cruel tactical genius leading [[Ossiarch Bonereapers|an army of skeletons and bone golems]] in Nagash's name. Despite this, some Krell fans still hold a torch.
