A few years ago I decided to paint the old 1990's Nagash miniature, considered by some, to be one of the worst miniatures Citadel has released. I did this to see if I could make him seem a little less unloved. So I repositioned his arms and pose slightly and gave him a slightly darker, non 1990's looking paint scheme. I generally considered my efforts to have been successful. The results can be seen on my old blog post here:

Now, as the years passed I forgot about him until I decided randomly to look again at my Tomb Kings collection. Somehow, in the process of moving boxes around he had broken, with arms and head separated. In this sorry state (regarding which, I shall not post such distressing images of a broken classic miniature!) I decided to rebase him and give him a slightly tweaked paint scheme.
So, as in the spirit of the Tomb Kings background, Nagash is reborn to fight again. I am happy with how he looks now, and I think I have made him look more sinister than he would have been on the 1990's. Overall, all I really did was repaint the sword with Citadels Hexwraith Flame Technical paint, highlighted his robes a little better, and added a some more detail to his staff. I rebased him on a 60mm round base, which I built up a little with milliput, and then liberally scattered skulls over.
Indecently, this revisiting of Nagash is part of my project to rebase and reorganise my entire Tomb Kings army. I was never really happy with their basing, and some of the paint work felt a little unfinished. In addition, I have bought all sorts of other Tomb Kings odds and ends over the years to add to the items I already had left to paint. However, I have some Empire Halberdiers to paint before all of that.
Enjoy :)
