Nagash Novel
------
there will be a series of warhammer: end times books. End times chaos/archaon, end times skaven, end time elves. Demons are attacking ulthuan and nagarroth and the elves getting overwhelmed by chaos there. Nagash has left vlad to fight archaon while he goes to try and get the tomb kings to join him in his fight against chaos. There will be thanquol and boneripper as well as vermin lord. New chaos warriors with mark of nurgle, look all decayed and plague ridden. Was something else but cannot remember.

From white dwarf.
" the lizardmen are the oldest enemy of chaos, born to fight it's rising power. In warhammer : Nagash their greatest mage priest, lord mazdamundi , awakens and beholds the dire portents. He gives a single spoken command that will echo through the ages"

The fluff explains that Nagash resurrected vlad.

Krell is named as the mortarch of despair.

The Return of Nagash is up on Black Library for advance order and there is a sample up too. The sample's prologue sets up a lot of the End of Times world so I thought I'd share that with you here. The framing is Manfred scrying in a bowl of blood and looking around the world. These are the main things he sees in order;
-A twin tailed comet
-A "storm of chaos" sweeping the world; random deamonic manifestations are popping up all over the world. All small and lasting only a short time.
-Valkia is leading a huge Khornate army against Naggarond
-Massive daemonic incursion in Lustria. The jungles burn.
-Huge daemonic invasion of Ulthuan.
-In Brettonia Mallobaude, the bastard son of Leoncouer, leads a joint army of disgraced knights and the undead (backed up by Arkhan of all people) kills his father.
-Deamonic invasions of the dwarf hold Copper mountain and Neferata's Silver Pinnacle, but the deamons just pop out of existance half way through the battles.
-Massive Nurgle-y plague in Middenheim
-In Athel Loren the Vaults of Winter break open and the great trees, including the Oak of Ages, split open to reveal they are filled with maggots.
-Gotrek chopping up beastmen in some Kislevite city. No sign of Felix.
-Another daemon invasion in Averland. This one too, just disappears as soon as it hits the walls of Averheim.
-Massive stone monoliths, big as skyscrapers grow out of the ground around the world. Become focal points for beastmen to flock to them.
-Riots in Nuln. Nobles attacked and either hanged or torn apart. Implied death of the Countess.
-The Tsarina is still alive in Kislev leading a counter-attack against Chaos horde.
-The Green Knight takes off his helmet and is revealed as Giles le Breton returned (later in the sample it says he killed Mallobaude).
-A multi-province Empire army defeats a Chaos army lead by Vilitch the Curseling as he besieges them.
-Chaos hoarde attacking the Great Bastion.
-Tomb Kings, Dwarfs, Greenskins and Orges all readying for war and Skaven launching large scale invasion on Tilea and Estalia, quite successfully.
-At the north pole 4 impossibly gigantic deamon armies are forming. 4 Exalted daemons bow to Archaon.
Not sure how much of this is just narrative and how much will become official fluff, but some interesting ideas.

--------------
The End Times have begun – dark forces long dormant stir once more to bring about the unmaking of the world. In the frozen north Archaon musters his chaotic hosts to sweep south and crush the lands of men, while in the west the Elves turn upon themselves in bloody civil war. From beneath the earth the Skaven prepare to rise up and claim the surface realms, their goal nothing less than the subjugation of the world. However, perhaps most terrible of all, the Great Necromancer Nagash is at long last returning, summoned forth from beyond the mortal veil to extinguish the living and begin an unending age of death.
Warhammer: Nagash is the first volume of the End Times, charting the final great battles for the Warhammer World. Within you will find the epic tale of war and carnage as heroes and villains struggle to decide the fate of the world. This first part of the legendary story follows the rise of Nagash, and his quest to become the god of death.
Also included in Warhammer: Nagash, are new scenarios, monsters and heroes drawn from the tales of these dark and perilous times – including Nagash himself, his servants and Undead Legions.

----------
Regarding the rules - there is no definite answer. The book offers an alternative to the regular Warhammer ruleset. If you use the book, you get the Undead Legions, the Lore of Undeath and the increased percentage for Lords and Heroes. So, all three of these features are part of the Warhammer: Nagash 'Expansion'. Stillt, the introduction states that these rules can be used in any game of Warhammer.
That being said, I doubt that these rules will make it into tournaments, and each gaming group should be able to decide for themselves which changes to incroporate, and which changes not.
