There are some great stories to get you in the mood here ---> linky, remember... don't have nightmares...
Behind the Scenes
Some cool insights from the GW Studio about what's going on and where the story is going. How the story can impact your games and how your games can impact the story!
As well as all that, there are some cool new minis for each of the grand alliances (Order, Chaos, Death and Destruction) called Harbingers and a brilliant looking campaign book if you want to add some of the special Malign Portents rules into your games.
Lord Ordinator
'The Stormhosts change the fate of the realms with each thunderous strike. Yet next to the innumerable minions of darkness, we are few indeed. We cannot fail, nor lose our way, for we must shape the future with hammer, blade and bolt.'
–
The first Stormcast Eternal officers to reinforce those territories claimed by Sigmar's Tempest. Each a combination of arcane engineer and celestial prophet, they are tasked to shape the future to the God-King's will.
The Warqueen
'The gods have not asked much of you this day. Simply fight beneath my banner, sow these lands with shattered bone and water them with blood. Do this, and your deeds will be remembered forever.'
– Marakarr Blood-Sky, Warqueen of the Reaver Wastes
Only the strong can hope to survive the living hellscape that is the dominion of Chaos. Only those with a touch of madness to fuel that strength can hope to prosper. Each Darkoath Warqueen has clawed her way to supremacy over the bodies of a thousand challengers.
Fungoid Cave-Shaman
'Splitcap, deffcap, grinnin' moon, Give ta me your bestest boon, Them dreams wot set ya head ablaze, To find the Waaagh! at the end of days!'

Knight of Shrouds
'You who think yourselves safe from the fate you so richly deserve. Look upon these legions of the dead, and know that you will soon be amongst them, with maggots in your belly and dust in your lying mouths.'
– Keldrek, Emissary of the Prime Innerlands
On the bleakest nights of the human soul, the Knight of Shrouds rides at the head of a massed gathering of the undead. He has bartered away his soul in exchange for the generalship of a powerful undead host.
