The monsters and gribblies became afterthoughts in the Chaos arsenal. Perhaps worst of all, though less obvious, the rules for the Beasts of Chaos suffered, as the early version of Age of Sigmar‘s approach found in the Grand Alliance books gave way to smarter, nimbler unit rules in updated factions. Hence the new Beasts of Chaos.

Bought the Path to Glory for Age of Sigmar, but can't imagine it works much different for 40k. Here's a quick rundown:You essentially pick a 'level' of warlord you want to be your champion. Based on the power level of your champion. You get more or less rolls on the follower charts. For example, a Chaos lord on foot gets six rolls, while a Chaos lord on Manticore gets four.You take take the corresponding number of rolls on the following charts:.Retinue: Units, usually minimum sized from thier warscroll. (Models listed are the max you can take in the unit, no additional models allowed, but you can take any equipment allowed by the warscroll. ).Heroes: Just what it says, various single hero models.Monsters: Again, self explanatory.Bray Herd: Various Beastmen units.War Herd: Beastmen monsterous infantry and monsters.After each battle there are various Eye of the Gods charts you can roll on for both heroes and units.After each battle you gain 1 favor point if you lose and d3 if you win.
The goal of the campaign is to get 10 favor points, and then roll lucky on the Eye of the Gods chart to become a Demon Prince. Once you have enough favor and win a battle after you ascend to demonhood, you win the campaign.Seems like a nifty, quick little campaign system. Complaining about the forty quid subscription to the whole series. As it's a single supplement in a part work. That's a lot of cash for something that isn't really there. If there was a physical thing turning up at the end of it at normal battletome price I'd be okay with that.
But I doubt there will be.However, as it turns out all the rules are in the first part, the other bts will be stories, painting/modelling articles, battleplans, times of war etc. So you only really need to get the initial 3 euro part and then you can pick and choose bits and pieces from the remaining series as you like. Which is alright actually.
