HobbyHammer Posted February 3, 2018 Share Posted February 3, 2018 I bring you my review of Malign Portents. The new chapter in Age of Sigmar. A new campaign book and much more. I have been lucky enough to have had an advanced draft copy to review for a while and gotta say its fantastic! Can’t wait to being a Campaign off the back of this.. http://www.hobbyhammer.com/2018/02/review-malign-portents-campaign-book.html?m=1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Couple of non-spoiler questions: Is it similar to the Realmgate wars where it's a story that you read along with and at the points in the story are the corresponding battle plans? Are all the time of war rules, etc linked to the realm of death or is it like the realmgate wars where multiple realms are visited? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swarmofseals Posted February 3, 2018 Share Posted February 3, 2018 Awesome! Thanks for taking the time to write this up. Any chance you are doing on of these for Legions of Nagash as well? (or know someone who is...) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Glad you liked it. 1- No, the story comes first and the Battleplans are in a seperate section similar to Path to Glory Skirmish etc.. 2- The is one much more detailed Times of War (not even called a ToW) for Realm of Death. This is explores in great detail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This was different as I am part of the Only The Faithful Narrative team and got a copy through that. If you wanna read pre release review.. pretty sure @Mengel Miniatures Will do one.

This is explores in great detail. Interesting they would split the battleplans from the story. I'm guessing it's less a story (like the realmgate wars) and more of just background? At only 80 pages it would make sense if that was the case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Double Misfire Posted February 4, 2018 Share Posted February 4, 2018 Awesome overview of what's in the book @HobbyHammer, thanks. Can't wait for my copy! Any chance of a cheeky preview of the matched play points for the four harbringers? I'm really keen to know the Lord-Ordiantor's so I can start writing lists update my post reviewing him in the Ironweld Arsenal thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi dude, NEOs are Narrative Event Organisers, a little narrative organisation to spread the word of Narrative Play more in AoS, a small group of us are also the NEO side of the Only the Faithful Playtest team for GW.
