DECIDE THE FATE OF THE MORTAL REALMS

Warhammer Age of Sigmar: Skaventide is packed with 74 brand new miniatures – 50 Skaven and 24 Stormcast Eternals – plus the new core rulebook, and loads more. It's the ideal way to get started with the new edition.

Key Features:

  • Get started with the new edition of Warhammer Age of Sigmar, available here for the first time.
  • Contains 74 brand new push-fit miniatures comprising two mighty armies of Skaven and Stormcast Eternals, plus terrain and a gameboard.
  • Includes the full Warhammer Age of Sigmar Core Book featuring a cover exclusive to this set, plus warscroll and game cards, and a Spearhead rulebook for fast-paced play.

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 – 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.

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 – hideous and cunning ratmen seeking to spread their twisted influence, and lay waste to the Mortal Realms.

The set also includes a Skaventide-exclusive version of the Warhammer Age of Sigmar Core Book, which provides extensive background information on the game’s fantastical setting, as well as complete rules for playing thrilling games with your Warhammer miniatures. Accompanying this is the Spearhead: Fire and Jade hardback book, containing all the additional rules you need to play the brand new Spearhead game mode for Warhammer Age of Sigmar, along with a double-sided gameboard on which to play out your Spearhead clashes.

This boxed set includes:

  • 1x 272-page hardback Warhammer Age of Sigmar Core Book
  • 1x 144-page hardback Spearhead: Fire and Jade book
  • 1x 30" by 22.4" double-sided game board

Games Workshop have two broad methods for painting their models. Both are entirely viable options, though have significant differences in the paints required (detailed below). You can find all of the required paints in the 'recommended paint' section below, whether you simply want to get it out onto the tabletop ASAP (i.e. 'Battle Ready'), or want to take your time and make it a masterpiece (i.e. 'Parade Ready'):

1. Classic Method - uses acrylic paints to build layers of colour and depth. Usually topped off with a shade paint to really make the shadows pop. Probably the most beginner friendly method as mistakes are often easy to fix.

2. Contast Method - uses ink-like contrast painsts which sink into recesses, providing depth in highlights and shadows with a single layer of paint. It can take some practise to get this method to look great, but it's highly satisfying when it does work. Less forgiving when mistakes happen, though arguably the quicker method of the two options.
