Hello!

I've seen there is an official reading order on the Age of Sigmar Facebook page but I am not sure where and how some of the tomes fit in.

1) Where does Age of Sigmar - Mighty Battles in an Age of Unending War come in?
2) Do you read the battle tomes first or the Realmgate Wars books first?
3) I play Death and there doesn't seem to be that much of Death in the Realmgate wars. Is there a Death focused Realmgate Wars book still coming or has that ship sailed and Death is not at all important?
4) There are various scenarios to play in the Realmgate Wars books, is it possible to play these with any faction?

Thanks!

Ok here we go!

1) the AoS book is something you want to pick up just for fun/story. At least that's for me.

2) You want battletomes if you're picking a specific faction to play (two of them are just based on scenery though...) Realmgate books are used for keeping up with the main plot's story and is something you want to pick up with a friend to reenact some of the scenes from the ongoing story of Sigmar and Friends (TM)

3) So far death hasn't really gotten much love, both in lore and series wise. Their only other faction is the Flesh Eater Courts. Other than that Nagash seems to be doing... Who knows what, the story right now doesn't seem to focus on what death is doing, Though the recent Skirmish game does take place in shadespire, which is a city in the realm of death.

4) As I said before the Scenarios are designed specifically for those specific armies to clash. You CAN change the rules a bit to match the army, but really you're better off using battleplans, which is found in the General's Handbook for general style scenarios, or if you want a faction specific one, you can check the battletome for the army. These are designed for various factions doing the fighting

Thank you IronDerp! Makes a lot more sense now.
