These were the End Times. The world is no more, torn apart by treachery and Chaos. And yet...endings beget beginnings. Listen carefully. Can you hear it? The cruel laughter of dark gods? It dances on the winds between worlds, striving to be heard, for the ruinous powers bore easily, and they seek tirelessly for new realities to conquer.
Where there is life, Chaos will find it, and misery and bloodshed will soon follow. The world is gone, but all may not be lost. The descendants of the Old Ones left before the Chaos moon destroyed their homelands, that much is certain. But where did they go? And if they escaped, did anyone else? Can what is dead ever truly die? Who remains lost in the void? To what does he cling? And when a world dies...what happens next?
The World Before Time is gone. Shattered. Consigned to an oblivion no-one thought possible. The metallic core of that ill-fated world was hurled through the cosmos, the God-King Sigmar clinging desperately to its sigmarite surface. Aeons passed, until the core caught the attention of the great drake Dracothion; it was he who rescued Sigmar, and taught him the secrets of the Mortal Realms - connected by Realmgates and peacefully populated for many years. But even in this utopia, Chaos would find a way to corrupt and distort everything.
The Age Of Chaos gradually turned life in the realms into hell. Embracing wisdom instead of strength, Sigmar retreated to the Celestial Realm and began assembling the greatest mortal warriors, steeping them in the magic of the stars and instilling them with absolute divinity. The Stormcast Eternals, as Sigmar named them, are ready. Sigmar’s storm is lined up to unleash its fury on the forces of chaos. The realms will tremble and the skies will scorch as the legions of the Dark Gods feel the blistering rage of the Stormhosts! The Age of Sigmar has arrived!
Warhammer: Age of Sigmar puts you in command of a force of mighty warriors, monsters, and war engines, battling amid strange and sorcerous realms, unleashing powerful magic, darkening the skies with arrows, and crushing your enemies in bloody combat!
The Warhammer: Age of Sigmar Starter Set details the first incursions of the Realmgate Wars and contains everything you need to begin your adventures in the Age of Sigmar, including forty-seven incredible Citadel miniatures and a rulebook featuring all-new background information on the realms and factions, a thrilling play-through narrative introducing the deep, compelling story behind the Age of Sigmar, and all the rules and Warscrolls for every miniature included in the box.
