Legions of Nagash changes up the way death plays by removing magical summoning and banner regen for skellies and replaces then with hero based regen and grave sites.
Why play Legions of Nagash?
Pros
SKELETONS! Hordes and hordes of skeletons endlessly marching out of the grave, also zombie and ghosts and all the creepy goodness!
A solid range of plastic miniatures and plenty of possibilities for conversion (looking at you triumvirate of Ynnead/vampires!)
More bodies with better durability for the cost than most and the ability to bring models back, when the stars line up you can end the game with net zero lost models.
You’ve got 4 legions to choose from as well as Death and Soulblight factions so you can test out a lot of stuff and play with lots of variations on a theme.
Did you play Orks in 40k? Would you like to throw a bucketful of dice? Get a unit of 40 skeletons into combat and buff them properly they’ll be getting 5 attacks each and possibly piling in and attacking twice with Vanhels Danse Macabre. In a perfect storm that’s 400 attacks 3+/4+!!!!
Is a summonable unit dead? did you just kill an enemy unit within 6" of a gravesite? Start rolling your d6 because on a 4+, congrats! You get that unit back!!
Cons
Zero...ranged...units... traditionally speaking. Not a single usable one, handful of short range shooting attacks but other than that all melee... can’t even ally in Tomb Kings archers!
Rend -1 is effectively rend -2 for your skeletons...it hurts...a lot.
Quite a few slow units, necromancer at 4” and can’t take a mount anymore...
How many skeletons do you want to paint? Whatever that number is you’ll need to paint more than that.
The removal of magical summoning also means you can't bring in new units, only bring back the ones that are completely destroyed *if* they have the summonable keyword, and you *still* have to pay points to bring them back.
