Warhammer: The End Times #Omnibus III
Death of the Old World (3)
It's the end of the world as we know it… The skaven rise up, bringing ruin upon the world of men and the ancient empire of the dwarfs. And then comes the final battle, in which men, elves, dwarfs and even the dead must stand together in the face of Archaon and his armies of Chaos.
The End Times are here…
The Rise of the Horned Rat:
In the warrens of Skavenblight, a new power is rising. The verminlords walk the earth and they plan to lead the skaven to their destiny as rulers of the world. But for Queek Headtaker, the only destiny that matters is his own, as he plans his final assault on Karak Eight Peaks. In the depths of that ancient city, two rival kings – the goblin Skarsnik and the dwarf Belegar – prepare to meet the onslaught. And in Karaz-a-Karak, High King Thorgrim Grudgebearer presides over what he knows, in his heart, is the end of the dwarf empire. The Horned Rat rises and nothing will ever be the same...
The Lord of the End Times:
Archaon Everchosen marches on the city of Middenheim, and if he captures it, the key to the Chaos Gods' ultimate victory will be his. The last heroes of men, elves and dwarfs gather to stop him, but to stand against the hordes of the Ruinous Powers, the must turn to darker allies. Against all reason, the last hope for the world may be the Undying King, Nagash himself – if he and the mortal races can find common cause and work together. If they cannot, Archaon's plan will come to fruition and thew world will be consumed by Chaos.
It's the culmination of not just the End Times series, but of three decades of Warhammer, and both Guy Haley and Josh Reynolds craft stories that are heart-rending, gut-wrenching tales of the most epic of battle and most heroic of last stands.

I am so glad I pushed myself through to the end of this series. I don't have any nostalgia ties to Warhammer (Warcraft snared me first) so I started reading these later on in life so I think that helped me just sit back and let this story do its thing. I haven't read a lot of fantasy where the bad guys just straight up win in the end. The last book was absolutely epic with fight after fight, nothing was held back especially during part 3. Loved The End Times.
