Yeah, hats off for stalling a rich background with incredible potential for 30 years behore annihilating everything in six months. Development? What's the meaning of that?
Progress is like a herd of pigs: everybody is interested in the produced benefits, but nobody wants to deal with all the resulting gak.
GW customers deserve every bit of outrageous princing they get.

That is actually pretty cool. It has a bit of a 'not a bang but a whimper' about it being done so quickly (although I guess the rest of the book expands on it more), but it's refreshing to see an End of the World situation where
Spoiler:
the World actually Ends!
And stays ended, at least in its current form. Perhaps I've just watched too much Dr Who, but I've grown tired of the "just reboot the universe' button cop-out So while we all know it's coming back in some form, the settting will be completely different, which is cool. You can still play 'historicals' with your current armies and rules, and now there's a whole new setting opening up!

So I wonder when they will announce 1st edition and what they are going to call it?
Your last point is especially laughable and comical, because not only the 7th ed Valkyrie shown dumber things (like being able to throw the troopers without parachutes out of its hatches, no harm done) - Irbis

I look forward to Snakehammer and the temperature chart to determine how active your snakes are that turn.

Ok everyone, just a little theory here.
What if the old world is destroyed, but this mysterious figure, Sigmar Ascended likely, has managed to create a new world out of the shattered remains of the old. Every faction's survivors find themselves dropped on a new world. Here and there, pockets of the old world have been plopped down.
Every faction survives in one form or another. All scattered in different locations across the world. Cities of humans and Dwarf holds in many different places, but being unaware anyone else survived as they rebuild in this new world. Athel Loren and chunks of Ulthuan and Naggaroth have survived as well. Cathey may also make an appearance. The lizard floating temples reappear in the skies and set down in unfamiliar jungles.
Chaos is much diminished, although daemonic incursions still occur occasionally and the favor of the gods still is bestowed on mortal followers.
As the years pass, new tales and heroes arise to stand aside the legends of heroes of old. The new world is explored, maybe some new races are discovered, occasionally explorers find ruins of the old world and pockets of other survivors.

Oh good, I just get into the game to find out that it ends, haha. I am sure plenty of people are going to keep on playing 8th whatever new form of WFB pops out. I keep hearing rumors that it's going to be a skirmish style game......they just need to bring Mordheim back to life again.

I may pick up soft backs of the books but i dont play as much any more.
Looks worth a good read though.
I'm pretty sure the bad guys did not really win either, at least certainly this was not what the skaven had in mind at least.
As for the the hope that it's all a dream etc in the words of holly.
There dead dave, everybodys dead

LOL Ouch!
Spoiler:
Could the guy falling through space be the Elf that went through the portal the elf girl created in Book 3? didnt she state that he was the only chance to recreate the cycle of the old world again?
Sorry my WHFB fluff history is weak.

It says that there is A new beginning that does not mean were going to get warhammer back, just that something is coming dragged from the corpse of warhammer.
It may be warhammermachine, it may be boltaction fantasy edition or it could just be a horrible mishmash of ideas that gw think will make them money stitched together like frakensteins monster.
Who knows at this point, but I think it is safe to say warhammer as it was know from a fluff perspective is dead.
