Although this re-design of the book was meant to make the story more interesting to children, I would not recommend sharing it with any. Units within a certain distance of a commander untit (depending on race) can then perform extra actions depending on their race. The Battle Bunnies received the new Age of Sigmar: Cities of Sigmar box for review, and our Bunny Rob set out to paint them for us in a nice Grim colour scheme. The book is presented as a sickly sweet kiddie book about a birthday bunny who wanders sadly around the forest, meeting various friends who don’t seem to care that it’s his birthday, until *surprise* they have a party for him and HEA.

Alex has not only retitled the book "Battle Bunny," but has completely rewritten the story, scratching out words in the text to transform it from a sweet book about a sad bunny who thinks everyone's forgotten his birthday into an epic battle between a chainsaw-wielding bunny and a crow, a badger, a squirrel, and eventually Alex and the President of the United States.

Birthday Bunny becomes Battle Bunny, and the rabbit's innocent journey through the forest morphs into a supersecret mission to unleash an evil plan--a plan that only Alex can stop. He has been writing books for so long (since 1989) that he doesn't even know how many are over there. It is the creative license that this book celebrates - the humour, the scribbles, the reinventing of a character .The game does have some bugs and balancing issues but the developer is actively updating, fixing issues and adding new things.
