The Tabletop Spotlight is on the latest book for Age of Sigmar – Grand Alliance Death!

Hey BoLS Readers! AdamHarry back with another Tabletop Spotlight with our buddies from Dragon’s Lair Comics & Fantasy. This week Drake stopped by and brought over the latest Grand Alliance book for Age of Sigmar: Death! This new softback format is pretty cool and for the price tag I liked what you get:

Obviously if you’re a former Vampire Counts or Undead player this book is for you! (Sorry Tomb Kings – but at least you can still run a Skeleton Army…) Overall I like this format, it really reminded me of those older $30 codexes/army books Games Workshop used to put out and that’s a format I really miss! This 88 page softback was packed full of all the warscrolls and background stories for the new Age of Sigmar Death faction. It also has a ton of info on all the smaller sub-factions and a battalion scroll for playing without an old school “General” – You can finally run an entire army without a Vampire or Necromancer without worrying about crumble checks, finally – they only had to blow-up the planet to do it!

It’s a cool resource if you have an undead army. But for $16.50 it’s worth picking up if you’re playing AoS at all – just for the background (and also reading up on your enemy). We’ve now had two Grand Alliance books out for Age of Sigmar and a handful of Battletomes. It’s going to be interesting to see what direction Games Workshop goes with these collected Army Books in the future.

Death comes to us all.

Stirring uneasily within their graves, the dead are forced to submit to the dark command of Nagash, Supreme Lord of the Undead. Shambling forms guided by the will of black-hearted necromancers and ever-thirsting vampires, the skeletons, spirits and zombies of this Grand Alliance stagger on to the battlefields of the mortal realms in huge numbers, reaping a grim harvest and spreading death wherever their shadows fall. Even should the enemies of Death score a powerful victory over Nagash, it is a mere setback – for what is a thousand years of exile and slumber to one who can never truly die?

This 88-page book is the indispensable guide to the armies and factions of Death at the dawn of the Age of Sigmar. A must-own for all collectors and players of this Grand Alliance, and indeed anyone collecting and playing Warhammer Age of Sigmar, it takes you through the forces of Death with Warscrolls for every miniature, extensive information on the eight factions, a Warscroll Battalion and sample armies to help you mix and match your collection into a fearsome fighting force – or provide inspiration for your next steps into the world of Warhammer Age of Sigmar.

Let the deathless legions rise from their graves!
Please note, this book contains no information on Tomb Kings – a Warscrolls Compendium is available for free download here with Warhammer Age of Sigmar rules for every miniature in the range.
