Sunday Preview – Chaos comes to the Mortal Realms

The forces of Chaos are ever-present in the Mortal Realms: the legions of Archaon wage war to extend his dominion, alongside the innumerable daemonic servants of the Ruinous Powers. More soldiers are on the march in next week’s pre-orders, while a collection of combatants are heading to the Warhammer Underworlds.

Warhammer Age of Sigmar

Battletome: Slaves to Darkness

With the Skaven shifting the balance of power in the eight realms, the forces of Chaos are resurgent once more. The Slaves to Darkness are ready to grind all opposition beneath their fur-lined boots with a brand new battletome taking them into the new edition.

Battletome: Slaves to Darkness covers the background for the faction from top to bottom across 128 pages. It includes Battle Traits, Battle Formations, Heroic Traits, Artefacts of Power, and Spell, Prayer and Manifestation Lores, with a total of 43 warscrolls, alongside a new Darkoath Spearhead. Armies of Renown, such as Be’lakor’s Legion of the First Prince also feature and includes eight daemon unit warscrolls for use exclusively with this army. The Anvil of Apotheosis lets you create your own ambitious hero and lead them to bloody victory on the Path to Glory. There is also a small-format Gamer’s Edition, packaged with a complete set of reference cards, available while stocks last.

Chaos Sorcerer Lord

The forces of Chaos are full of those that have mastered the use of dark magic. Those warlocks and sorcerers who tap into the powers daemonic are sometimes granted the gift of foresight, manipulating events and rising through the ranks to become all-powerful Chaos Sorcerer Lords. This new miniature has options for both head and staff toppers.

Abraxia, Spear of the Everchosen

The Eight Circles of Varanguard are manned by elite warriors personally chosen by Archaon himself. Abraxia, Spear of the Everchosen, commands the Swords of Chaos, the First Circle of Archaon’s chosen, with matchless skill and an unbreakable will. From atop her monstrous steed Thanatorg, Abraxia wields the cursed varanite spear Gorbolga the Accurs’d, whose merest touch rends armour and warps flesh armour alike. Available for the first time as a solo release, Abraxia is ready to command your Slaves to Darkness with an ironclad fist.

Spearhead: Darkoath Raiders

Under the command of a fearsome Darkoath Warqueen, a new Spearhead raises its weapons to do battle for the Slaves to Darkness. Accompanying her on her path to glory littered with future bloody conquests are 10 Darkoath Savagers, 10 Darkoath Marauders and five Darkoath Fellriders, making this the greatest muscle-to-miniature ratio available in any Spearhead box.

Warscroll Cards and Dice Set

No army is complete without warscroll cards and dice. This set of 57 quick reference cards has every warscroll found within Battletome: Slaves to Darkness. including those for use with the battletome’s Legion of the First Prince Army of Renown, as well as those needed for the Darkoath Raiders Spearhead. A set of 16 black dice with bright white pips and the eight-pointed star of the Slaves to Darkness on the six face rounds things out.

Warhammer Underworlds

The Jaws of Itzl

The primal might of the Seraphon comes to Warhammer Underworlds in the Jaws of Itzl. Separated from their cold-blooded cohort and Slann Starmaster by a cave in, this band of Saurus Warriors and accompanying critters act part through bloodthirsty instinct, and in part through sporadic telepathic commands by their Starmaster. As a Strike warband, they excel at hitting hard and fast, their scaled armour and savage weapons making them resilient and dangerous in equal measure.

Grandfather’s Gardeners 

Rot finds its way into all corners of the Mortal Realms, and the sweltering tunnels beneath Embergard are fertile ground for the roots of the Garden of Nurgle to take hold, especially under the watchful gaze of the Grandfather’s Gardeners. A gaggle of dour-faced and green-thumbed Plaguebearers, they plod inexorably into combat at the whims of the ever turning cycle of decay, weathering incoming blows with ease. This Mastery warband is governed by the cycle, their abilities and damage output keying off the constant ebb and flow.

Reckless Fury & Wrack and Ruin Rivals Decks

Accompanying these two warbands are two Rivals decks matching their play styles. Reckless Fury embodies the Strike archetype, tasking players with accumulating and manipulating Charge tokens as they invade enemy territory. Wrack and Ruin is a Mastery deck which requires players to use positioning in the treacherous depths of Embergard to set up traps and score big from leading opponents to terrible fates.

Heroes and Hunters

The forces of Order head to Embergard. Get involved in the new edition with a set of four pre-existing warbands and their accompanying fighter and warscroll cards. This box contains Hexbane’s Hunters, Myari’s Purifiers, Thundrik’s Profiteers and Ylthari’s Guardians.

Despoilers and Daemons

Fans of Chaos can prepare for the new edition with a set of four pre-existing warbands and their accompanying fighter and warscroll cards. This box contains Khagra’s Ravagers, Ephilim’s Pandaemonium, the Dread Pageant and the Gorechosen of Dromm.

Revenants of the Realms

Warhammer Underworlds is no stranger to the forces of Death – the box that kicked it all off was set in a city cursed by the Supreme God of the Undead. You can extend Nagash’s dominion with a set of four pre-existing warbands and their accompanying fighter and warscroll cards. This box contains the Headsmen’s Curse, the Crimson Court, Kainan’s Reapers and the Grymwatch.

Brutes and Bandits

Where there’s fighting to be done, and plunder to be found, the Brutes and Bandits of Destruction are sure to be near. Grab your weapons and join the brawl with a set of four pre-existing warbands and their accompanying fighter and warscroll cards. This box contains Grinkrak’s Looncourt, Morgok’s Krushas, Blackpowder’s Buccaneers and Da Kunnin’ Krew.

Warbands of Embergard

If you’ve got all of the above warbands or most of them, then you can get the fighter and warscrolls cards for all 16 in the Warbands of Embergard set. The cards differ slightly to those contained within the four boxes above, with photography of the warbands on the reverse of the warscroll card.
