Nagash has a new lady in his life. Come meet the Lady Olynder, Mortarch of Grief!

You just can’t keep a good ghost dead …or something like that. Especially when you’ve got Nagash running around starting a war for souls in the Age of Sigmar! He’s got a new Mortarch that is ready to be unvieled – which if fitting as she looks like she is about to get married.

Behold, in all her glory – Lady Olynder, Mortarch of Grief!

Nagash is a being of exceptional power, but cannot be everywhere at once, and apportions his vast energies between the Mortarchs. Olynder is the most recently chosen of these dark lieutenants, gathering the previously disparate forces of the Nighthaunt into a terrifying spectral legion who fight at the spear tip of Nagash’s latest assault on the Mortal Realms.

Lady Olynder is described as “a plotter and a schemer” in life. She worked her way up the social ladder by showing false remorse. Now, as a Mortarch, she helps command Nagash’s undead legions in battle. Her foes will feel the hope drain out of them as she marches to war. The spectral armies at her command are going to be truly terrifying – I can’t wait!

The Mortarch of Grief is now the second named hero for the Nighthaunts. The first was Kurdross Valentian, the Craven King:

There is still one more to go…I there isn’t some kind of “Night-Mare” pun in the name I’m going to be just a little disappointed.
