WHF rumours

Triumph and Treachery
This is a supplement that focuses on multiplayer games and in particular games for 3-5 players. It has all the standard color plates, new rules, and sample games involving up to 5 players in Warhammer Fantasy.

-Hardcover book
-Deck of 36 gameplay cards
-5 Player cards
-Victory tokens

So it looks like roughly something along the lines of the Storm of Magic book that opens up another playstyle for Fantasy. It's not something as 'largescale and unstructured" as Apocalypse, but it is interesting to see Games Workshop turning one of their mainline games towards an "group activity" type of gameplay.

WFB 9th Edition
Next up we have the latest set of rumors for Warhammer Fantasy 9th edition, from the same source that gave the community the last set a month ago.
