Ahh I mixed up Myths and Revenants with Inferno.

Honestly the short story collections are well worth getting. Whilst you don't get as epic a novel, you do get a lot of varied stories which can often give you some really nice flavours and unique views on a lot of different factions. Great for getting a general feel of the lore - esp once you're familiar with the base setting and can dart a glance at the GW store to tell you what some named things look like.

Regarding the werewolves Forge World did have some wherewolfs. They grew out of their human skinn and then they change back the day after and then the cycles continued. While hard to see, there are pieces of streched skin on these models.

The idea was that it was a Tzeentch curse.

They were called "Skinwolves", and they were more mutant than 'werewolf'.

I fully expect to see, at some stage, armies that either cross two Grand Alliances or those which are outside of the GA structure.

It should be noted that lore wise we already have orruks, goblins and ogors living side by side within various Order settlements. Just like they also live alongside the Undead.
They do? Where is that mentioned, I need to go read it.

In most stories that involve the land of the dead its oft said that its a realm where the living and the dead live side by side. Of course major settlements like Sigmar's Cities its mostly the living and you won't get a Flesh Eater walking down the street to pop into the local shops. But the dead are everywhere. In Realmslayer Gotrek and co visit a small settlement where the living and the dead co-habit - though that story focuses a touch more on the dead side of it.

Meanwhile for Orruks and the like living within settlements its in one of the Inferno stories - I forget which one, but its a deepkin story and I think its the most recent Inferno.
Don't forget Orruks and the like (ergo Destruction, or at least the bulk of it) was part of the Pantheon. It was part of the Grand Alliance of nations and peoples that rose up during the Age of Myth. It only fragmented off because their gods and peoples clash culturally with Sigmar's vision of neat ordered cities and civilisation. Orruks don't want to settle down with the cheese trolley, a good book and a fine wine next to a roaring fire on an evening. Their cultures are nomadic by nature at large and many might even feel uncomfortable not roaming; raiding; fighting and more.

Oh that one, I misinterpreted your initial comment. Thank you though.

That's a shame. But I do like Kharadrons so I might get it if it's cheap somewhere.

It's in the "Myths and Revenants" collection.

There are two short stories featuring the Idoneth in one form or another there. The aforementioned "The Sea Taketh" and the fantastic novella called "The Learning". Both are by David Guymer.

Yeah both really good.
