The Crimson Slaughter Unveiled


This comes from someone claiming to have the book in hand, and details out exactly what the Crimson Slaughter is. As a codex supplement we are expecting two pages of rules, as we have seen in previous codex supplements. The rest of the book of course details out the background and history of the Crimson Slaughter.

I know from the past I have enjoyed reading these books, and these rules if true, look like they will be worth taking a good look at.

Please remember that these are rumors, until we get the official release where they can be seen with our own eyes.
