The Stormcast Eternals return today with reinforcements from Azyr and a brand new Battletome.
This new book brings the Stormcasts up to date with other recent Battletomes such as the Sylvaneth, Beastclaw Raiders and Disciples of Tzeentch, and contains new Allegiance Abilities, artefacts, unique abilities for Stormcast mounts, prayers, Battalions for especially renowned Stormhosts, and more besides. It also compiles together all the warscrolls of existing Stormcast units into a single book, with a few amends and updates on several units too. In short, it’s packed with rules, and is the invaluable guide to playing an army of Sigmar’s chosen champions in the Mortal Realms.
This 164-page hardback Battletome is dedicated to the combined forces of the Stormcast Eternals, including the Extremis Chamber. It contains:
- Forces of the Stormcast Eternals – a huge compilation of rules and abilities for all Stormcast Eternals armies, including the new Scions of the Storm Battle Trait, allowing you to deploy in the Celestial Realm and join the battle where they are most needed;
- Plenty of ways to customise your games of Warhammer Age of Sigmar for Open, Narrative and Matched Play;
- Lots of ways to customise your Stormcast armies – new Command Traits, Blessed Weapons, Enchanted Armour, Magical Artefacts, Treasured Standards, Mystic Lights and Prayers of the Stormhosts;
- Steeds of the Celestial Realm – new exceptional traits for heroes riding Dracoths, Stardrakes and Gryph-chargers;
- Warscrolls for the full Stormcast Eternals range, featuring points for every model, and a massive 29 Warscroll battalions – many detailing the Stormhosts who have taken part in the battle for the Mortal Realms so far;
- Path to Glory rules and Warband tables allowing you to put together your own Strike, Extremis or Vanguard Auxiliary Chambers;
- a host of uniform guides, as well as background for every unit, character and monster of the Stormcast Eternals, along with an explanation of the typical Stormhost organisation.
Stormcast Warscroll Cards Now Available For Preorder!
Of course there is plenty of background in there too. The story of this book, like Disciples of Tzeentch, stretches decades past the events of the Realmgate Wars and into an age where the Stormcasts now hold citadels across the Mortal Realms. The various Stormhosts are more defined than ever, each now forged in years of battle as well as the vaults of Azyr.
There are some new models coming of course. Chaos has been rising again since Sigmar’s initial successes in the battles for the Realmgates and the Season of War, and the God-King has deemed the time right to unleash his Vanguard Chambers onto the field of battle.
The first of these are the Vanguard-Hunters – rangers and scouts of the Stormhosts, equally deadly at range or in bloody melee. These trackers are joined by the loyal, and ever-popular, Gryph-hounds: trusty companions to many a hero of order, now available in lethal hunting packs.
This is just the first week of a month of new releases for the Stormcast Eternals, and there are plenty more reinforcements to come before the month is out.
