Hahhaa, jesus christ.

So now what? We just wait for 9th ed for a few months like some loving morons? The fallout from this is going to be amazing. At least I'll be able to grab some cheap stuff on ebay.

Yeah, a group of my friends has been playing 5th Ed so I might grab some stuff to shore up my lists and maybe grab a few cheap models I've always wanted to paint (metal HE heroes!) but I doubt I'll buy any not-ebay WHFB for the foreseeable future.

I wonder if Sega/Total War people, the Mordheim people, the MOBA people and even the Snotling Fling people are happy that the company that sold them license to an IP is destroying it.

Are they? Sounds exactly like they're resetting everything to be before the end times again. Reads like a bad comic book ending for an arc that killed everyone.

I wouldnt rush to ebay just yet.

Surely the bioware approach would be to sell an alternative ending rulebook 2 months later?

Further spoilers, taken from Warseer:

Nagash offers Mannfred to the elves as a sing of good will, snaring him in a prison made of death magic.

Be�lakor frees Mannfred and tells him the truth about Lileath. He is later found by Jerrod (Be�lakor�s plan all the time) and tells him the truth about Lileath. Jerrod lets Mannfred live, who then flees and calls her. She admits the truth, saying that she is the Lady of the Lake, and also that she pushed Bretonnia out of the Stone Age and saved them from the greenskins and themselves. She says that she won�t ask for forgiveness, because the sacrifice of Bretonnia was needed to create the Haven. Then Be�lakor appears when Jerrod is about to kill her. They both fight and the demon defeats Jerrod (but does not kill him), and turns to kill Lileath, but Malekith and Tyrion pop out and trap Be�lakor.

Jerrod returns to his people and tells them about the Lady. They decide not to fight alongside the treacherous elves, returning to Bretonnia. No more is known of them.

After the fall of Averheim, the Incarnates face the daemonic host. The battle is hopeless, so Lileath sacrifices willingly to Teclis in order to give him the needed power to move them to Middenheim. A titanic battle takes place there, and the incarnates travel to the caverns located beneath the city, where Archaon, the Swords of Chaos, and the 4 greater daemons with their respective hosts are waiting. Grimgor fights Arachaon and almost defeats him, but Archaon manages to kill the orc. Then Archaon faces Sigmar, the Emperor, who after a long battle defeats him, throwing him inside a rift created by the Old Ones� artifact that the chaos guys activated to destroy the world. The surviving Incarnates, aided by Teclis (who now holds the winds of Fire and Beasts), try to close the rift. They could have succeeded, but Mannfred betrays his master (Nagash) killing Gelt. Teclis tries to absorb the wind of Metal, but fails and dies, so the rift feeds on them and sucks out all the Incarnate�s powers. Archaon appears again, climbing out of the rift, and faces SIgmar one more time. They both are last seen fighting against each other, with Ghal-Maraz being held by Archaon as Sigmar tried to smash him. Meanwhile, Malekith saves Alarielle from being crushed by debris, and then she and Tyrion turn their backs and walk away while the Eternity King dies in pain, with his legs crushed. They both look back at the growing rift while the darkness swallows them.

Game Over.

Whenever something happens with Warhammer (fantasy or 40k) lately, such as new codexes or rulebooks coming out, the amount of people and the extent to which they freak out here on the forums leads me to believe that they don't do anything else with their free time but play this game.

Ya the contrast of this to say, FFG's Star Wars Armada is ridiculous. We know next to nothing about what GW is doing (and really have not had any idea whats coming for months) meanwhile FFGs has basically released enough info about Armada that you could probably be playing games of it right now using proxies...

Kinda glad that my whole factions death got more attention and a more coherent plot that the entire Warhammer world, apparently.

edit: The part about the Chaos Gods not caring anymore as soon as it happened was pretty hilarious and is probably the official GW stance. Did they even bother to do anything with Settra from the first book or did they get too enraptured in giving Elves/Skaven/Chaos as much sloppy fan service as possible?

Black Library is releasing a book on March 20th, IIRC, and Gotrek finally dies in it. Or should at least, since it's "Book II of the Doom of Gotrek Gurnisson" and BL says it's the final book in the series. It has Be'lakor in the cover, so that's the likely candidate for Gotrek's Doom.
