About this deal

This kit comes supplied with one 50mm Citadel Round base. This miniature is supplied unpainted and requires assembly – we recommend using Citadel Plastic Glue and Citadel paints.

Also called ‘The First Scion of Sigmar’, the gigantic, metal-winged Celestant-Prime is the first Stormcast Eternal ever to have been forged by Sigmar. He leads all Lord-Commanders, and only answers to the God-King himself.Next up, three units that you may recognise from the Dominion boxed set are on the way next week, all of which are being unleashed upon the realms as individual kits. Praetors Overall my problem is that while they are unique, they don’t really quite hit it as “great”. They’re super niche, two are dependent on which battle trait you’re running (meaning you only get 3 options). I like the idea of fewer, more interesting traits but when they’re not great it means that the power of a good Hero is reduced a lot. Big issue in a book where almost half of the roster is Heroes. Artefacts

Stormcast have a lot of units especially in the Leader department. We can’t hope to cover all of them (yet, look out for an updated Start Competing in a few weeks) so we will focus on what’s new and what has changed radically. There are two general trends I noticed: First, Rend has gotten more plentiful. Games Workshop seems to anticipate All out Defense + Mystic Shield + Finest Hour might make things a bit too tanky so we start seeing a lot more Rend -1 where there was none, and Rend -2 where -1 was. So if I don’t mention your favorite unit they may have more rend. Second, everything got more expensive, which is a tough one since Stormcast were not exactly cheap to start with. Don’t worry though, a lot of these units will make their points and this doesn’t put them at much of a disadvantage. Having earned no fewer than 27-lifetime bans – all overturned due to fan outrage – Kreek ‘The Verminator’ Rustgouger bounds onto the pitch with a huge hunk of warpstone that he’s more than capable of using to smash opposing teams into a fine paste. The problem with the Grand Strategies here is they require some very specific requirements to pull off that are far too complicated compared to the core ones (Which mostly consist of keeping a specific unit type alive). Battle Tactics

Fall of the Necromancer™

Drakesworn Templar • Knight-Arcanum • Knight-Azyros • Knight-Draconis • Knight-Heraldor • Knight-Incantor • Knight-Judicator • Knight-Relictor • Knight-Venator • Knight-Vexillor • Lord-Aquilor • Lord-Arcanum • Lord-Castellant • Lord-Celestant • Lord-Exorcist • Lord-Imperatant • Lord-Ordinator • Lord-Relictor • Lord-Veritant • Praetor JoeK: So, the army looks like it is pretty solid all around. I for one am strictly excited the dragons seem playable, and are pretty awesome. And honestly, the only thing i want to talk about, for the detriment to everyone around me. There are other good tactics and this army has enough warscrolls and mortal wound potential to be good for a long long time. But… none of those other things are dragons so. Do “I” care? No. cuz there are dragons. Armies of dragons. Did I mention there are dragons? Phew! So many awesome new kits coming out this year, and that’s on top of the ones we’ve already seen . His face is wonderfully stern and expressive, and the detail of his armor frames it nicely. I found the detail in his beard to be a little shallow, hence the stippling. I do wish that beard was a little better defined. While I wasn’t crazy about the big halo around his head when I first saw the model, it grew on me while painting and I couldn’t imagine him without it now.

Leave it to Khorne to one-up the standard hammer by attaching it to a giant chain, creating the vicious bloodflail. Used by Bloodthirsters to crush piles of skulls* from long range, it’s a truly monstrous weapon that’s one of the most terrifying things in the Blood God’s arsenal. Plus, if you do get hooked on the game, you’ve got the added benefit that the Stormcast Eternals areGames Workshop’s highly-promotedflagship Age of Sigmararmy, consistently kept front and centrein the game’s main storyline – so you certainly won’tfind yourselfshort of support or model options in the future.Well with this I think we got some confirmation about some future design decisions. Included in this book (And Orruk Warclans) is some new faction-exclusive Grand Strategies, Battle Tactics and Core Battalions. We saw some of these for Sons of Behemat and Slaves to Darkness in White Dwarf but now we know this is going to become a consistent thing. I will preface that I don’t think anything here is going to break the game but let’s explore each in depth. Grand Strategies When regular Paladin units aren’t enough, what do the Stormcast Eternals do? They call in the big lads. Annihilators do precisely what their name suggests, charging into enemies with such fury and momentum that few are left standing.
