AoS trades focus between Death and Chaos from time to time.
A little while back they had Nagash blow a giant hole in the realm of Death so he could ascend as the highest Death God and begin making his Undead Ubermensch, which fucked up the other realms a bit until Alarielle counteracted it with a giant wave of Life magic. This in turn caused some side effects in places, namely the realm of Beasts which benefitted the most and began getting out of hand. That was last edition, and after Ghur had mostly settled down there was a big multi-realm push by Sigmarite humans to reclaim previously lost land and establish new cities, which was the sort of cap-off of last edition.
This came to an abrupt halt with the start of the current editiom, when the Great Horned Rat ascended to being a full blown Chaos God with Archaon's help, which prompted the Skaven to nuke half a continent and begin invading everywhere.
More or less the perfect place for VT3, not that GW is ever smart about this sort of thing.
