About this deal

There were twenty of them in Dominion, which was far too many. Having ten of them in the Harbinger Starter Set still feels like a lot – but maybe that’s an opinion coloured with a degree of hindsight. At the end of the day, I’m not a gamer: I paint, and I get bored painting 5 of the same units. FauxHammer – Latest Video on YouTube Stormcast Eternals: Thunderstrike Brotherhood Review – Summary Sigmar and his Sacrosanct Chambers sought a solution to the flaw in the reforging process. A Lord-Arcanum called Catheryte Primalon believed that the cure lay in pure souls from noble bloodlines. She hypothesised that souls who clung strongly to their knightly virtues and oaths of servitude wouldn’t lose their identities after being remade time and time again. When looking at the sprues for these models it’s quite hard to understand how this would be spread over 80 issues as there simply aren’t that many sprues. One thing to be aware of with these figures is the join line down the cape on each side. Once again, some sprue goo (that’s glue with some old sprue mixed in to make a melted plastic paste) will be your friend here and you’ll be able to make the gap disappear, as I have in the picture below.

Before we get into the Thunderstrike Brotherhood box in earnest, a little must be said about the Stormcast Eternals’ faction design as a whole and its quiet brilliance. So, let’s starts with the Liberator. Stormcast Eternals: Thunderstrike Brotherhood – Box Contents Miniatures: 1 Chaos Lord, 1 Chaos Chariot or Gorebeast Chariot, 5 Chaos Knights, 10 Chaos Warriors.This is the Battleplan that takes everything you’ve learned and tested over the previous four battles and rolls it all up into one. Using all the figures and resources available in the Warrior Starter Set, the training wheels are off and it’s time to really play Age of Sigmar. This is an overview of all Age of Sigmar value added boxes, previously called Start Collecting and now available in the new format called Vanguard.

The Praetors are a great inclusion for any Starter Set as they are really simple to build, but look awesome when completed. If you are starting a Khorne mortal army this is a good starting point as there are 3 heroes, 1 elite unit and 2 more battleline units, but remember you will need to integrate with more boxes to obtain the missing options.

Models that are always Fun to Add

The third unit in the box has also an alternative assembly option, but for a different army: the Dark Riders from Cities of Sigmar. Apart from that, they are not the most exciting unit in this box. Same goes for the Melusai Ironscale, the hero included in this box. This set, for example, does not have any cardboard scenery in it as the prior two do. This will affect the set up on certain missions. However, because all the figures in this set are also available either wholly or in part in the other two sets, some of the battle report below might look familiar. Used carefully this is something your opponent is going to have to play around. They can potentially delete a Mawcrusha in a round. Now that we’ve had a look at how the Harbinger box is put together, we need to have a closer look at the books, cards, and other bits and pieces you’ll need to play a game of Age of Sigmar using the new Starter Set. If this doesn’t interest you, and you know you’re only in it for the models, you’ll want to skip ahead and dive on in to the sections below where FauxHammer gets into the miniatures. The box, like the other Starter Sets, contains two Reference Sheets. These take the core-most concepts and most vital workings of a game of Age of Sigmar and strip them down further still so you can have them at your elbow during a game.

Flexibility. All of your units have higher than average stats and can fill any battle role. There’s a reason Stormcast are jokingly referred to as “Sigmarines.” The remaining Vindictors charged and the final Gutrippa was assaulted on all sides by stabbing Stormcast spears. However, the Vindicotrs could only score a single wound on the Gutrippa, who was unable to score any Wounds in his part of the Fight Phase. For the beginner hobbyist, the Stormcast Eternals are the perfect faction, and the Stormcast Thunderstrike box is quite possibly the best place to not only start collecting Stormcast Eternals, but to enter the hobby as a whole.You’ll probably be keen to start expanding your new armies to make the wars you wage all the more epic. If you’re particularly keen on the new look of the new Stormcast Eternals and Orruks and can’t wait to start filling up your Kallax with dozens more minis, I have bad news. Currently, the new style of Orruk and Stormcast Eternal figures are only available in the Dominion release and the three new Starter Sets. I am going to run you through a few options to get started in the faction and give you a solid base for a competitive army. SCE start collecting boxes are out of print now, they were the SCE half of the starter kits in 1st and then 2nd edition. But they are one half of the current AoS Starter sets and we will be looking at a list built from the Extremis or Harbinger Starter Sets. These lists are intended to be competitive but might not quite reach the top table. I won’t be featuring Vanguard Raptors, Fulminators or Storm Drakes. Or not yet (read to the end). The Ballista is easy to get in a cheap ETB box if you want to add another to your starter box army. It’s still best when used with an Ordinator and absolutely murderous in a warscroll. But it’s still cool enough to use alone if you have to. Vanguard Raptors

The mortals have Kairic Acolytes, improved since the 2nd edition, and the Tzaangors, now hitting harder. More importantly, the guy is really selfish and only hands out a mediocre bravery buff. Which is crap when you compare it to some of the amazing superpowers that the other Lord choices in your book have. Judicators Discount: The discount in price if you compare the price of the box with buying each unit individually (with GW prices). Primal Kings appear aloof to their fellow Stormhosts as they guard their dark past from inquisitive eyes. Sigmar must never find out, his fury and retribution would be unforgiving and bloody… Free from their skirmish with the Hobgrots, the Praetors charged into the Swampcalla Shaman. Two wounds made it all the way through the rolls, and the Shaman was slain at last.

Space Wolves Talons of Morkai

The Lord Arcanum is one of the faction’s powerful spell casters. These come in several variants and flavors, with different mounts and foot-slogging options, and the Lord Arcanum on a Gryph Charger can be found exclusively in the aforementioned Soul Wars boxed set. If the prospect of trying to get an on-foot Lord Arcanum is too daunting, consider converting one from an Evocator or using the model that comes with the “Age of Sigmar Getting Started” magazine available at some game stores. Magic. There are no faction-specific Endless Spells available here, but the generic ones are always Empowered by their realm, no matter what. Wizards are cheap and readily available, and there’s a spell lore specific to whichever City you choose. The obvious starting point, this has everything you need to play the army, as well as a solid core of narrative to inspire you. The short stories by Josh Reynolds are a welcome addition, and the painting guides are far from comprehensive but will definitely get you started if you want to recreate the paint schemes in the photography. The additional rules for Allegiance Abilities, Spell Lores, and Warscroll Battalions make this a huge value add over just using the free profiles and points values from the Age of Sigmar App and Scrollbuilder.
