Katakros has mustered the forces of Nagash to assault Archaon’s stronghold, the Eightpoints, a realm where pure Chaos reigns and the constantly shifting battlefield can help or hinder any one who ventures into it, even their own followers aren’t safe. Katakros seems ready to make a name for himself and in Wrath of the Everchosen he’s poised to lead the assault on one of Nagash’s greatest foes: Archaon the Everchosen, the champion of the Chaos gods. The higher ranking members of the legion were some of the best military minds of their time when they were alive none more so than Katakros, Nagash’s 5th Mortarch (How many more of these is he going to create?). Crafted of only the best quality Bone collected from tithes, they were imbued with the spirits of the dead. Unlike Nagash’s other forces, who were largely mindless and disposable, the Ossiarch Bonereapers were vessels engineered for combat. Lady Olynder still had enough time to open the stormvault, which awakened Nagash’s next army: the Ossiarch Bonereapers. The stormvault was successfully defended by an alliance of Order forces, though only through the help of Flesh Eater Courts, who misinterpreted the spirits as the enemy and drove them off. In Forbidden Power, Lady Olynder led the Nighthaunts on an assault on one of Sigmar’s stormvaults. Nagash appointed Lady Olynder as his new Mortarch of Grief to lead the new spectral arm of his forces. Nighthaunts are ghosts, restless and damned souls who are angry that the gods, Sigmar in particular, abandoned them. Although the Skaven blew it up before he was finished it created such a shockwave through the Mortal Realms that a massive earthquake, the Necroquake, that awoke the Nighthaunts. During Malign Portents, Nagash attempted to create a Black Pyramid to achieve ultimate power. The plot (which can be traced from Malign Portents, to the Soul Wars box set, to Forbidden Power, and finally to Wrath of the Everchosen) is that Nagash has attempted to gain power by building black pyramids and recovering souls from Sigmar he believes rightfully belong to him. While in traditional Warhammer fashion, no faction is wiped out or seriously crippled (except for End Times, the less said the better) Age of Sigmar has tried to make these plot progressions mean something. (If you haven’t read the plot of Malign Portents or Forbidden Power and wish to, there are minor spoilers so I would skip to “Fighting in the Eightpoints” where the crunch starts)īy the standards of Warhammer, Age of Sigmar has done a pretty good job progressing its plot forward. Should you get this book? Read below to see if it piques your interest. They’re a great resource for lore freaks, though it can be difficult to say if their particular army will be featured. Campaign books can be fickle things though for players who prefer to focus on Matched Play, the rules often go unused. Games Workshop promised something for everyone, with a focus on Chaos and Death. Wrath of the Everchosen is the first Campaign book of Age of Sigmar 2.0 that didn’t double as an Endless Spell expansion (like Malign Sorcery and Forbidden Power), making it the first such book since Malign Portents in early 2018. ( Authors note: Due to a misunderstanding some incorrect information was reported in the allegiance section.
