Description

Welcome to an era of chaos. Welcome to a time of war. Welcome to the Age of Sigmar!

Since Sigmar’s Tempest shattered the skies, the Mortal Realms have been engulfed in conflict. The hard-fought bastions of civilization are besieged on all sides, their cities scorched by the fires of battle, and their people struggling for mere survival. Now, the Hour of Ruin is upon them, as the very fabric of reality tears apart, unleashing endless hordes of rat-like Skaven that threaten to destroy decades of hard-won progress.

But even in these dark times, Sigmar’s armies still march. They know the war is eternal, and even the mighty Stormcast Eternals are not immune to its toll. Yet, amidst the chaos, a flicker of hope remains—a light strong enough to inspire countless acts of bravery and sacrifice.
