1.  Nagash was resurrected through Volkmar's body (Luther Huss for Arch Lector?)
2.  The kidnapped elven chick was actually not the daughter of Finubar, but is now a vampire.
3.  Tilea and Estalia are "destroyed" by the Skaven.
4.  The Horned Rat (who is a female) kills the foremost Council of 13 member and demands that the infighting end.
5.  Mazdamundi states that, "The plan has failed.  The time for exodus has come."
6.  The Fey Enchantress is the daughter of the Lady of the Lake, who is Alarialle, a minor Elven deity.  The Fey Enchantress was killed.
7.  Teclis is trying to unlock a vortex and is accompanied by someone referring to him as nephew.

Eltharion and Belannaer are gone, Eltharion turned to dust by Arkhan the Black and Belannaer destroyed after Mannfred Von Cartsein threw something akin to purple sun at him and his regiment of Swordmasters, Belannaer threw up a shield, but Mannfred used it as a distraction to plant a seed into the mind of a swordmaster who attacked Belannaer and cut him down the back, disrupting the shield which then obliterated the unit.

Mannfred seized a female elf prince from Tiranoc and has turned her into a Vampire that nows resides in Drakenhof Castle. Volkmar is dead, having been used as a vassal for Nagash to possess and return in, Morigana Le Fey is dead, her throat slit and used to pool around Volkmar's feet.

Aliathra, the supposed Everchild (Daughter of Everqueen and Phoenix King) is also dead she was used in the same way as Morigana, however what Arkhan and Mannfred didn't know was that she wasn't the child of the Everqueen and Phoenix king but actually the Everqueen and Tyrion, this she had the blood and curse of Aenarion within her. This was transfused into Nagash who is now cursed and sapped of power thus making his attempt at battling Chaos a lot harder and slower.

All this in the end was actually manipulated by none other than....Teclis and Malekith working together! Teclis sacrificed not only his brother's daughter, but also Eltharion and Belannaer so they he could weaken Nagash. This was done so that Nagash didn't simply rush off to confront Chaos and ultimately lose, but instead to make Nagash significantly weak enough that he would be more cautious and in the end contribute to the war effort in a lesser but useful way.

It's all going off in a big way. Marius Leitdorf's brother who was Grandmaster of the Knight of Sigmar's Blood is also dead, he got suckered in an ambush after he moved to far ahead of his High Elf allies and ended up being drained of blood by Mannfred. Mannfred was wounded by Eltharion who he couldn't beat in physical combat and was beaten when a near dead Stormwing used his last strength to raise up and fall on top of Mannfred, this allowed Eltharion to use his sword to pierce the barrier guarding Arkhan with his magic sword, which disintegrated after getting him through, so Eltharion tried to beat Arkhan with his fist, but Arkhan put his hand on Eltharion vambrace and turned him to dust.

Other points, the Bretonnian King is gone, considered dead at the hands of his Bastard Son, who in turn eventually has his head cut off by a returning Gilles le Breton. All of Tilea and Estalia has pretty much been enslaved by Skaven apart from some which got entirely obliterated by Daemon incursions. Settra is awake and has awoken every Tomb King.

Malagor the Beastman Shaman's army, which was been directed at stopping Nagash by the Chaos gods was suckered into following one of Mannfred's general's which ended with them coming into contact with a huge army from Karak Kadrin lead by the Slayer king, the Slayer king was responding to Karl Franz in asking for help to support the High Elves and Empire army sent to deal with Nagash, the battle with the Beastmen though left 8 out of 10 Dwarves dead and 1 out of 10 unable to fight, so despite wanting to die in a glorious fashion, he did his kingly duty and returned to his hold.

The Everqueen came seeking the aid of the Wood Elves to recover her daughter, they agreed and sent Araloth to aid them, but after finally defeating a banshee sent to slow them, they came upon Araloth's Goddess and she transported them to Ulthuan. Loren itself is beset by Beastmen and a sort of plague that is making trees rot and their queen very very ill. For some reason it was Drycha who deliver Morigana le Fay to Mannfred after the Battle of Quenelles.

Also the Amethyst College has disintegrated as Nagash attempts to make himself the Avatar of Death Magic.

Ungrim and the dwarfs defend Avenheim thanks to Gelt’s Crucible but, in the end, they sacrifice themselves while imperials and bretonnians flee. Ungrim’s slayers fight against Zhufbar’s hosts.

Nagash offers Mannfred to the elves as a sing of good will, snaring him in a prison made of death magic.

Be’lakor frees Mannfred and tells him the truth about Lileath. He is later found by Jerrod (Be’lakor’s plan all the time) and tells him the truth about Lileath. Jerrod lets Mannfred live, who then flees and calls her. She admits the truth, saying that she is the Lady of the Lake, and also that she pushed Bretonnia out of the Stone Age and saved them from the greenskins and themselves. She says that she won’t ask for forgiveness, because the sacrifice of Bretonnia was needed to create the Haven. Then Be’lakor appears when Jerrod is about to kill her. They both fight and the demon defeats Jerrod (but does not kill him), and turns to kill Lileath, but Malekith and Tyrion pop out and trap Be’lakor.

Jerrod returns to his people and tells them about the Lady. They decide not to fight alongside the treacherous elves, returning to Bretonnia. No more is known of them.

After the fall of Averheim, the Incarnates face the daemonic host. The battle is hopeless, so Lileath sacrifices willingly to Teclis in order to give him the needed power to move them to Middenheim. A titanic battle takes place there, and the incarnates travel to the caverns located beneath the city, where Archaon, the Swords of Chaos, and the 4 greater daemons with their respective hosts are waiting. Grimgor fights Arachaon and almost defeats him, but Archaon manages to kill the orc. Then Archaon faces Sigmar, the Emperor, who after a long battle defeats him, throwing him inside a rift created by the Old Ones’ artifact that the chaos guys activated to destroy the world. The surviving Incarnates, aided by Teclis (who now holds the winds of Fire and Beasts), try to close the rift. They could have succeeded, but Mannfred betrays his master (Nagash) killing Gelt. Teclis tries to absorb the wind of Metal, but fails and dies, so the rift feeds on them and sucks out all the Incarnate’s powers. Archaon appears again, climbing out of the rift, and faces SIgmar one more time. They both are last seen fighting against each other, with Ghal-Maraz being held by Archaon as Sigmar tried to smash him. Meanwhile, Malekith saves Alarielle from being crushed by debris, and then she and Tyrion turn their backs and walk away while the Eternity King dies in pain, with his legs crushed. They both look back at the growing rift while the darkness swallows them.

I feel like in some ways there's some interesting setting creation going on.

But it isn't... well, it just isn't Warhammer. Given the apparent scale of the changes I'd almost rather they'd ditched WHFB and left it and just started a whole new setting, which might have made more sense.
The duke, the wanderer, the philosopher, the mariner, the warrior, the strategist, the storyteller, the wizard, the wayfarer...
