Total War: Warhammer unrobes the Master Necromancer; beware his terrible teeth

Total War: Warhammer

Whatever instinct stopped Creative Assembly from calling their game Total Warhammer is clearly also blocking this chap from his deserved title of Necromaster. He’s a striking figure, though: a magician with a persecution complex so strong it drove him to embrace the vengeful power of the undead and leave his own humanity behind. Bonus: he comes with a horse.

The Master Necromancer may be at the top of his hierarchy, but he sits below the Vampire Counts – dread leaders of one of Total War: Warhammer’s four playable races.
