Dudes...just read through the book, it is absolutely phenomenal. Literally 400 pages of amazing narrative, really setting the tone for the end times releases and putting each race in a very clear, unique situation.
It should also be known that this is very much a campaign arc, and not the end of warhammer as we know it; I have little doubt that, across the rumored 4 end times books, the story will be resolved and the world returned to the way it was before the release.
Basically the chaos gods are invading the world en masse again, and every race is doomed and beset on all sides by demons, barbarians, orcs, and beastmen. Nagash actually sparks arkhan and mannfred to revive him in part so he can keep the chaos gods at bay, and save the world for his own domination. Really paints nagash with a lot more depth than "I want to kill everything".
Has anyone else read it? What does everyone think? I cannot wait for the next book in the series about archeaon...they set him up so well for his turn at conquering the world, and I'm unbelievably excited.
