Worlds of Warhammer: The Age of Chaos

Phil Kelly continues the Mortal Realms chronology through invasion, broken alliances and the collapse of once-great civilisations. The timeline follows Chaos triumphs, desperate refuges and Sigmar’s withdrawal to Azyr, setting the origins of familiar factions against a long history of loss and explaining how the Stormcast project begins amid widespread catastrophe.

The Tome Celestial: The Grimscuttle Tribes

Jordan Green and Louis Aguilar explore the Spiderfang tribes of Neferatia, their treacherous bargains and devotion to a ravenous Spider God. Arachnaroks and Skitterstrands are intelligent predators rather than simple mounts, while tribal history and the Deff Grotz’s Shyishan imagery connect their raids to the realm’s particular supernatural dangers.
