Games Workshop previously announced the release date so it should be no surprise that Warhammer: Age of Sigmar – Skaventide is next week’s release… and pretty much the only release. The game is the fourth edition of Age of Sigmar and pre-orders will be open for two weeks.
Skaventide features 74 new miniatures, Stormcast Eternals and Skaven.
The Stormcast Eternals comprise 24 miniatures, with a command staff made up of an imperious Lord-Vigilant on Gryph-Staker, a solemn Lord-Terminos with attendant Memorian, a Lord-Veritant with Gryph-crow, and a Knight-Questor. The rank and file are made up of 10 indomitable Liberators , alongside 3 battle-hardened Reclusians with their Memorians, and 3 soaring Prosecutors.
The Skaven are led by a scheming Claw-lord on Gnaw-Beast and a Grey Seer from the Masterclan, while a Warlock Engineer watches over the complement of Skryre weapons. The crowning jewel of this collection of chaotic contraptions is the Ratling Warpblaster, which is supported by 3 Warplock Jezzails. 40 Clanrats make up the bulk of this horde, and 3 hulking Rat Ogres provide the muscle.
Not just packed with two armies it has everything you need to play including the 144-page Spearhad: Fire and Jade book, a double-sided game board, four pieces of terrain, 3″ and 6″ range rules, cards you need to play, and some dice. There’s also Core and Advanced rules, the First Blood battlepack, and the Path to Glory battlepack. There’s also a deck of 17 cards which contain the season rules and battle plans for the 2024-25 Matched Play Season General’s Handbook.
And… pre-order bonuses!
If you order from the Warhammer webstore you’ll get a set of six metal objective tokens. If you get it at the local Warhammer store on release, you’ll get a set of command point tokens. Pre-ordering from independent stores, you’ll get a hardback notebook themed after Skaventide.
As has become tradition, Black Library will be releasing a tie-in book, Skaventide by Gary Kloster.
Deep in the heart of the Skaven apocalypse, the Stormcast Eternals of the Ruination Chamber fight for their survival, but within this blighted wasteland lies a prize – a lost Stormcast Eternal who carries within him ancient and forbidden knowledge.
There’s a regular edition, and a royal blue Special Edition with screen printed artwork in silver foil on the front and spine with blue page edges and a blue ribbon bookmark. There’s also full-color art inside and it’s signed by the author.
