I tried age of sigmar and didnt like it much so i moved to 40k. a couple of weeks ago i heard about 9th age and played a couple of games of it. I enjoyed it alot and it even caused me to buy some whfb models again. what i like most about it is that i can for the most part use models that were considered bad in whfb like my corpse cart or the witch hunters from the empire army.

Is Fantasy dead? Do GW no longer stock Fantasy? I know this one depends on the store, but do GW stores even allow Fantasy anymore? Can someone tell me what's going on?

I share your confusion. I've just now started getting into the lore of the WHFB and now apparently everything is blown up?

Does anybody know where I could get a good overall summary of the new setting?

Yup, everything is gone. the current setting is several thousand years later, although a lot of named characters are still around.

For the background on what happened to destroy the old world, you can purchase the End of Times background without the WHFB rules from BL.

There are a few novels out for AoS, along with the two or three sourcebooks and a few army books. Everything in the current set of writing is pretty sparse, they only focus on what is current model/army releases. (there is no summation on each individual army that hasn't had a re-release yet, and only a few vague hints as to what their status may or may not be.)

from all the reading you can get a rough idea what the following armies are currently doing. Stormcast Eternals, Skaven, Seraphon (lizardmen renamed,) Sylvaneth (dryad and tree faction from wood Elves renamed,) Khorne, Malignants (Undead renamed,) Nurgle, and a smattering of Slannesh, Aelf (Elves renamed,) And Steamhead Duradin (Dwarfs renamed.)
