Regarding WFB 9th

All existing army books and minis will work with 9th.

6 major factions (include combinations of previous stand alone books, see End Times).

Some existing units can ally with multiple factions.

End Times is the pattern for army construction restrictions.

Skaven have been moved in a fully steampunk direction.

Glotkin returns to the “new” world.

Some factions while playable, receive little to no notice, and may have an uncertain future regarding new minis released.

The world is portrayed in a state of flux, with the chance for utter destruction, or restoration being in the hands of the fickle gods and mighty heroes.

 

Now take a look at what this gamer got when he bought a new fantasy clampack WFB minis (Gutrot Spume, and a Grey Seer)
