The Hour of Ruin is nigh, and the skittering, numberless hordes of the Skaven flood into the Mortal Realms. So vile is their warp-magic, so potent their arcane weaponry, that Sigmar has sent his most powerful champions to hold back the tide \u2013 the Stormcast Eternals. At their head march the Ruination chambers, warriors who have endured death so many times that they are more akin to living weapons than the humans they protect.<\/p>\n
If you’re looking to plunge headfirst into the new edition of Warhammer Age of Sigmar, look no further than this launch set. Warhammer Age of Sigmar: Skaventide comes complete with two powerful armies, pitting the golden might of the Stormcast Eternals against the skittering threat of the Skaven \u2013 hideous and cunning ratmen seeking to spread their twisted influence, and lay waste to the Mortal Realms.<\/p>\n
The set also includes a Skaventide-exclusive version of the\u00a0Warhammer Age of Sigmar Core Book<\/i>, which provides extensive background information on the game\u2019s fantastical setting, as well as complete rules for playing thrilling games with your Warhammer miniatures.

\nThe chosen champions of Sigmar, plucked from their mortal bodies at the moment of their death and Reforged to fight once more. Each Stormcast Eternal is a nigh-immortal warrior, capable of fighting hordes of the fiercest foes and emerging victorious.<\/p>\n
\n– 1x Lord-Terminos with 1x Memorian \u2013 Armed with a sacred executioner’s blade, Lords-Terminos are burdened with the duty of putting their fellow Stormcast Eternals to rest and releasing their tormented souls, never to be Reforged again.
\n– 1x Lord-Veritant with 1x Gryph-crow \u2013 Few Stormcast Eternals are as dreaded as the Lord-Veritants. Chosen from those whose hatred of Chaos eclipses all else, they hunt corruption wherever it lurks, using their burning swords and lanterns to expose ruinous taint.
\n– 1x Knight-Questor \u2013 Sigmar has chosen each Knight-Questor to undertake a mission of the utmost import. These questing warriors strive to complete their mysterious tasks, no matter the cost \u2013 allowing none to undermine the God-King\u2019s will.
\n– 3x Reclusians with 2x Memorians \u2013 Reclusians stride to battle on only the darkest days, for these immortal warriors hover on the precipice of losing their humanity entirely, and their lightning-scoured souls are particularly resistant to the corrosion of Chaos.
\n– 3x Prosecutors \u2013 Prosecutors streak through the heavens like vengeful meteors, carried on burning wings. Such are the dangers faced by these angelic warriors that many are now assigned to the Ruination chambers, to serve as merciless instruments of Sigmar\u2019s justice.
\n– 10x Liberators \u2013 To the Liberators falls the duty of casting down the warlords of ruin and stamping Sigmar\u2019s claim upon the realms. Clad in thunderstrike armour, they can withstand the blows of insidious hordes and the foul magic of corrupted battlefields alike.<\/p>\n
\nFor centuries, the perfidious ratmen known as the Skaven scurried out of sight, rising only to bombard their foes with hideous mutants, magical machines, and overwhelming numbers. Now they erupt across the realms in explosive boils of corruption, their schemes finally bearing fruit.<\/p>\n
\n– 1x Grey Seer \u2013 Most devious of all Skaven, Grey Seers are the sorcerous agents of the Masterclan, who work to manipulate their society from the shadows. Identifiable by their horns and ashen fur, they possess a terrifying mastery of dark magic.
\n– 1x Warlock Engineer \u2013 The Warlocks of the engineering Clans Skryre drive the industry of all Skavendom. However, they are all utterly insane, and obsessed with crafting ever more inventive weapons of death.
\n– 1x Ratling Warpblaster \u2013 Ratling Warpblasters are designed to cull massed infantry, using a complex series of rotary cannons to spit out a torrent of warpstone-infused missiles. Anyone caught in their path must dive for cover or be reduced to bloody mist.
\n– 3x Rat Ogors \u2013 These rabid mutants are created by fusing Skaven flesh with muscled bulk of ogors through vile surgery, cryptosorcery, and toxic serums. Consumed by pain and gnawing hunger, Rat Ogors tear at their enemies in a blind fury.
\n– 3x Warplock Jezzails \u2013 Skilled Skaven snipers crew Warplock Jezzails, which can spit death from a distance. These gunners use highly pressurised warpstone gas to launch deadly shards across the battlefield, picking off the most impressive targets they can spot.
\n– 40x Clanrats \u2013 Clanrats are the dregs of Skaven society, considered utterly disposable by their masters. Motivated by hunger, fear, and ambition, Clanrats fight on no matter how many are crushed, stabbed, or cut down, armed with whatever rusted blades they can scrounge.<\/p>\n\n
