Unleash the Vermindoom!
The peal of brass bells portends the explosive arrival of the Vermindoom. Blight City has burst into the Realm of Fire, and the Hour of Ruin is upon us. The highly anticipated new edition of Warhammer Age of Sigmar is nearly here, and it’s arriving with a massive launch box: Skaventide.
The Skaventide is sweeping across the Mortal Realms, and the faithful Stormcast Eternals of the Hallowed Knights are first into the fray. This gigantic box is the biggest Warhammer Age of Sigmar launch set yet, packed to the brim with books and miniatures, divided into two sides, each with 1,200 points. The box includes 24 Stormcast Eternals, reforged warriors and grizzled veterans of a thousand conflicts, and 50 Skaven, swarming horrors who fight with overwhelming numbers, foul magics, and madcap technology.
The Stormcast Eternals
Created by Sigmar himself to reclaim the Mortal Realms from the forces of Chaos, each Stormcast Eternal is a heroic soul snatched from the God of Death and Reforged into an immortal warrior upon the Anvil of Apotheosis. Sigmar’s promise of immortality comes with a curse – each fresh death and Reforging hammers out more flaws, whittling away a little more of their soul. The Skaven threat is so dire that Sigmar has been forced to throw open the Ruination Chamber and press back into service those warriors on the brink of losing themselves completely. All are willing to fight, as the hour is too dire.
Lord-Vigilants are the commanders of the Bleak Citadels, quiet monasteries housing the Stormcast Eternals in the retirement of the Ruination Chamber. They ride on corvine Gryph-stalkers, wielding hallowed greataxes and marshalling their allies with grim resolve. There is one release from the curse of immortality – the oblivion offered by the Lord-Terminos. In this hour of need, these warriors will range the battlefield and take Skaven heads with their mighty Blade Terminos.
What Else Is in the Box?
These forces are the core of two fantastic armies, and both sides of the box can be fashioned into Spearhead forces: the Vigilant Brotherhood and the Gnawfeast Clawpack. The goodies don’t stop there. For Matched Play aficionados, there’s a 17-card General’s Handbook deck providing the Season Rules and battleplan cards for the General’s Handbook Season 2024-25, so you can start honing your tournament skills from minute zero.
On top of all that, there’s the 272-page Warhammer Age of Sigmar Core Book. This weighty grimoire contains masses of lore and background information about the Mortal Realms and their inhabitants, alongside reams of gorgeous art and atmospheric photography of miniatures painted by the ’Eavy Metal team. It includes the Core Rules, the battlepacks for Matched Play (First Blood) and Path to Glory (Ascension), a rules glossary, a Citadel Terrain List, and copyable Path to Glory and Army rosters.
Prepare for the Hour of Ruin. The Skaventide launch box is your gateway to epic battles and heroic sagas. Secure your set today and lead your forces to victory in the Mortal Realms!
