This was the second army book I ever owned for Warhammer Fantasy back in the day. I am looking forward to seeing what is in the new release, and this morning we have a few bits about the upcoming release.
I am going to still keep these down as rumors, so take with a little salt until we get the book in our hands.
A information and pics for the book can be found here.
