Ah, it’s the old softcover Codex pricing! 158 Warscrolls for the 21 following factions:
– Everchosen
– Slaves to Darkness
– Khorne Bloodbound
– Daemons of Khorne
– Tzeentch Arcanists
– Daemons of Tzeentch

– Daemons of Chaos
– Brayherds
– Warherds
– Monsters of Chaos
– Chaos Gargants
– Thunderscorn
– Master Clan
– Clan Verminus
– Skryre
– Moulder
– Pestilens
– Eshin
And back full circle to the teaser, which seems to line up with the contents of the new Chaos tome, AND the new starter army from earlier in the month.
Notice the “slaves to darkness” designation. From the book above (and the previous rumors) it looks like they are a new faction of Chaos, listed after the Everchosen in the contents of the Grand Alliance book!
Is Gw trying to force feed Age of Sigmar on the masses by offering the value of 300+ pages including what looks to be all the current warscrolls, for the low low price of a $33 softcover book?
What’s going on in Nottingham, and is the the precursor to another several weeks of Chaos releases?
