Content pack: Lords of the End Times — Nagash. Immortal Empires ownership
- Paid content from Nagash’s Lords of the End Times pack. CA confirms that Vampire Counts factions can unlock Walach as well as Nagash; he is separate from Neferata’s Free-LC.
- Requires the Nagash – Lords of the End Times DLC, sold individually or in the complete Lords of the End Times bundle.
- Nagash can subjugate Walach through his Mortarch campaign objectives. Walach can also be unlocked by Vampire Counts factions.
Joining an existing faction
Walach is a Legendary Hero. Bring him into an existing Immortal Empires faction after meeting its unlock conditions. In Nagash’s campaign he is a Mortarch to subjugate; Vampire Counts have access to him too.
Choose the army that will use him before reorganising its other characters. A force that needs someone to fight an enemy character may benefit more than an army already crowded with melee specialists.
The blade and the chalice
Walach carries the Crimson Blade and a Blood Chalice. The chalice offers a choice between restoring his health and strengthening his melee attack, while his Vampires magic gives him another way to influence the fight.
Make that choice around the target in front of him and the support available. Keep friendly infantry nearby and watch for concentrated missiles. A powerful character still benefits from a clear route back to his army.
Walach carries the Crimson Blade and Blood Chalice, with the latter offering healing or additional melee power. His role suits a battle plan that keeps a fighting hero near friendly support.
Where he fits
Skeleton Warriors can pin an enemy for Walach to engage; Grave Guard can fight alongside him at the point you want to break through. Keep his purpose clear when he joins a lord such as Vlad or Mannfred.
Dieter Helsnicht offers a more focused offensive-casting role from the same paid pack. Ulrika has different faction access, including a technology route for Neferata.
Give the hero a clear job
Choose a target the army can help him engage, and keep an eye on the wider fight while directing him. Winning a local exchange is less useful if the rest of the line is losing its support. Dieter Helsnicht gives the same campaign a caster focused on offensive spells.
A Mortarch in Immortal Empires
Walach joins an existing army as a Legendary Hero. Follow his Mortarch objectives when playing Nagash, then decide which army benefits most from his combination of close combat and magic.
