I’d seen some of those same people leap into a siege tower on fire without batting an eye, face Revenants with gleeful whoops, but this breed of horror always hit them hard: what honour could there be in being shredded by dead birds? Behind us I felt the Dominion warriors shrink. They were just the quickest to make their way to our lines. The birds would only be the first tide, I knew. One coming ever closer as dead things filled the horizon. Close enough no one could miss them, close enough that the beat of their wings and their ceaseless screeching hit our ears like a drumbeat. Like a tidal wave filling the sky, they came.īy the time I got to the front, stepping away from my armies with no one but Beastmaster at my side, the tide of undead birds was closer. His forces slaughtered and poisoned all wildlife wherever they went so that they could use this very tactic: throwing massive flocks and herds of them at us as skirmishers. Not buzzards, which were specially-crafted dead, but just any bird the Dead King had been able to get his hands on. Round 1B - 3B: All the races/nations of the Old World are united against the Kingdom of the Dead.īeastmaster’s warning proved true moments later: in the distance I saw what I might have taken as a swarm of insects, were it not too far out for their size to be reasonable. Round 3: The Kingdom of the Dead will attempt to conquer every nation in the Old World, including Sylvania, Athel Loren, and the Orc/Ogre tribes of the Badlands. Round 2: The Kingdom of the Dead will attempt to conquer every human nation in the Old World. Round 1: The Kingdom of the Dead will attempt to conquer the Empire and Brettonia. No other forces from either world will interfere with the nations involved in this contest. The victory condition for the Kingdom of the Dead is total conquest of their targets, the victory condition for everyone else is to repel the invasion. This is the world of Warhammer Fantasy pre-End Times.Ī two mile wide portal opens up at the base of the World's Edge mountains in the Empire, connecting it to the western shore of the Kingdom of the Dead, and the King of the Dead immediately launches an all out invasion force through the portal. This is the Kingdom of the Dead as of the beginning of APGtE's 4th book.
