The dead do not rest easy in the Warhammer world. In certain cursed places they simply rise from their graves.
The dead can also be easily risen and commanded by certain ruthless individuals who study and use Necromancy, a specialized form of magic.
The Undead were previously an army for Warhammer Fantasy Battles. In the 5th Edition of the game they divided and became two separate fieldable armies:
- Vampire Counts army
- Tomb Kings army
The term 'Undead' may also refer to a number of creatures within the Warhammer setting that have, by various means notably the power of Necromancy, transcended death (either being resurrected from a dead state by a practicioner of necromancy or else cheating death by some other means, as in the case of a Vampire or similar creature). This is not to be confused with immortality; the power of becoming a sentient entity within the Aethyr. Examples of Undead creatures include the following:
This also includes any quotes by undead of neither Tomb Kings or Vampire orientation.
