The Stormcast Eternal’s Wargear has been revealed – come see their tools of destruction!

Battletome: Stormcast Eternals will be hitting stores this weekend and we’re pretty pumped about it. So far, we’ve seen their special rules and new Stormcast Chamber rules. Now we’re getting a look at their new Wargear.

Enchanted Armour 1

Magical Artefacts 1

Blessed Weapons 1

Each of these charts has some pretty solid options for Heroes. If you find that folks really like to snipe at your heroes the Mirror Shield seems like a good call. That -2 on the to-hit rolls vs missile weapons would do a number on units like the Tzaangor Skyfires. If you’re more concerned about “magical sniping” then you should consider the Obsidian Amulet. But just a heads-up: that says “affected by a spell.” That does not distinguish between harmful or friendly. But as luck would have it, Sigmar’s Stormcast get work done with those prayers we saw yesterday.

As far as the weapon selection there are lots of versatile options. Personally, I was looking at the Hammer of Might in conjunction with a Lord-Celesant on a Stardrake. 6’s cause double damage with a D3 weapon…seems pretty good to me. Of course there is also the Lord-Celestant on the Dracoth from the starter set – any of his weapons could benefit from doing double damage as well. #PlanRoll6s

What do you think of the Wargear of Sigmar? Any of these magically imbued gifts jump out at you?

editor note: We used the GW spelling for “Armor” and “Artifacts” for the title.
