It's a very simplified Planescape based off of the 8 winds of magic imagined as 'realms' along with the realm of Chaos as Realm 9, the baddies realm.

Was in my local GW briefly today and picked up a copy of the book that accompanies the boxset. It's not got that much inside it in terms of text content. The artwork is quite nice but if its the same book you are talking about I am fairly disappointed as there doesn't seem to be much in the way of deep background fluff.

Is that all we know? Do we know anything about the other factions, how/where they live and are organized? Or are the realms just different battlefields for the super good guys to fight the super bad guys for reasons?

As far as I know they shut Phil Kelly in one box to write the background and JJ in another box to write the rules, for about 6 months, and this is the result. What we have seen seems a bit light for that so I'm guessing there will be more, but that's just me guessing.

I'm sure you would have been in good company, considering all the crap products they make.
That's rather uncalled for no matter what he/she said in the past.
Mantic need to fix the squareish problems with the models they make. It's like GW stuff from the 80s and unfortunately it won't cut it.
I'm not sure how open they are to talking to customers though.
Why is that 'uncalled for'?
A handful of people are in this thread bashing GW left and right with free reign, but one person posts a negative comment about Mantic and, "That's rather uncalled for!"? Before you say, 'Well, it's a GW thread', it's actually a N&R thread for AoS, or so I was led to believe by the title/location.
This thread pretty much stopped being N&R awhile ago. It's pretty much the same dozen haters or so posting their same 'tough-guy' internet drivel over and over again. A mod indicated that a new N&R thread should be incoming soon. I sift through the thread on the off chance I'll find some actual N&R.

Really hope you are right on this because I would have expected a decent bit of content from the book in the box!

I'm on the fence, frankly. I feel kinda like I did about the Slaughterbrute. But that was way too expensive to buy for conversion purposes. But since I'm loving the Khorne infantry models, I'm gonna get at least one of these in the mix. Maybe a nasty counts-as greater daemon? A chunky Daemon Prince?
If I do end up getting the box to use the models in INQ28 & Mordheim, I dunno...if you tone it down a bit(fill in the melty-skullskin bits, leave off some of the weird bonetail things sprouting out of his shoulders and fill in their sockets, use a decent actual head) it might make a good base for a Chaos Troll? Otherwise it's probably going to end up as DP or Spawn bait.
That's what I was thinking. I can imagine that, for 40k purposes, there's a bunch of parts from the Hellbrute kit that would fit in with this model well. But getting rid of those weird tentacles and skull zits would be necessary.

I ran through a solo play of the rules just to try them out. Obviously that isn't the same as playing against an opponent, but if you're interested in how it went, I have a battle report up on my blog:
