Product Details

War spreads across the Great Parch of Aqshy like an unstoppable inferno. Skaven swarm out from the twisted hellscape of the Gnaw, and the lands that border the Heartblood Sea are subjected to near-constant raids from blood-crazed killers. This is only a taste of what is to come, for armies from far afield are converging upon this ravaged land in search of plunder and glory.
