Warhammer: The Old World – Arcane Journal: The River of Bones

The dead of the Barrow Kingdoms march into Athel Loren, and the forest itself rises to meet them.

Settra’s war of vengeance continues. The Tomb Kings of Khemri are pushing deeper into the Old World, while Ashurtak the High Priest gathers the restless dead of the Barrow Kingdoms, the ancient former vassal states of Nehekhara. Their march leads to the borders of Athel Loren, where the Wood Elves and the ancient spirits of the forest stand ready to defend their realm.

This Arcane Journal for Warhammer: The Old World adds new rules for the Tomb Kings of Khemri and the Wood Elf Realms, along with battlefield rules and magic items that any army can use. It includes two new Armies of Infamy, the Barrow Kingdoms and the Spirits of the Forest, plus new characters and upgrades for Battle March armies. Narrative scenarios recreate the clash at the Crystal Mere. It’s essential for Tomb Kings and Wood Elf collectors and for anyone following the Old World’s ongoing story.
