The Background
Wrath of the Everchosen takes a good, hard look at the Eightpoints, fleshing it out as much as any of the Mortal Realms. The book explains why this bizarre island is so important and how it became the nightmare hellscape it is now, offering an insight into the life of mortal worshippers of Chaos, well beyond what we’ve seen so far in Warcry. 



You’ll also find out what Archaon has been up to, as well as Nagash’s plans building up to this point. It finishes out with an action-packed account of the Death invasion and siege of major strongholds, culminating in a showdown between two of the most skilled generals and warriors in all of the Realms.  



Painting Guides
Wrath of the Everchosen details new cults and sub-factions for the mortal and daemonic forces of Chaos. To help prepare them for battle, you’ll find a 10-page guide on painting some of them, including creating a Bone-tithe Nexus and some bases to match the unusual locations in the Eightpoints. 



The Rules
If you fancy recreating these epic struggles on your own table, you’ll find a detailed set of rules, including unique Realmsphere Magic, Realm Commands, and Realmscape Features. If you want to try your hand at some of the iconic battles in the war, the book contains a set of eight Battleplans to help you do just that. You’ll also be able to add Roaming Monsters that attack anyone that gets too close, represented by referencing situational Behaviour Tables.



Some lands across the Mortal Realms, like the Eightpoints, are saturated with ambient magic – so much so that Endless Spells don’t always diminish over time. You can represent this in the game in much the same way as Roaming Monsters, consulting a placement chart and rolling on their own Behaviour Table. They’re wild and unpredictable by nature, and each turn they may divide, dissipate, or burst with destructive energy. 



The Eightpoints is heavily fortified, and much of the action in the book is punctuated by protracted sieges. There’s a set of updated and expanded rules to represent Siege Warfare, strongholds, and new command abilities for both attackers and defenders. This section includes allegiance abilities for every Grand Alliance! 

If you’re a fan Chaos, you’ll want to dig in to battletome-level content for the many and varied forces of Chaos, including new Warscroll battalions, traits, spells and artefacts for all-daemon Legion of Chaos Ascendant armies, and 13 new sub-factions for both mortal and daemonic armies. 


You don’t have long to wait before you can get your hands on this book for yourself – Wrath of the Everchosen goes up for pre-order this Saturday!
