Very Cool! All those different colors of  Stormcast Eternal Chambers have their own rules. Take a look:

Battletome: Stormcast Eternals is coming to stores this weekend. We’ve already looked at some of the special rules they will be receiving but now we’ve got even more sneak peeks:

I’ve been waiting for something like this.  The Stormcast Eternals have been a somewhat monolithic force since their inception and it’s good to see the fluff start to progess. Now each is starting to get it’s own rules and traditions.  Picking what color you paint your Stormcasts will now mean something and you all know how I thing fluff is maybe the most important thing that binds players to the hobby.

My personal favorite of these is Joyous Host – those happy warriors that are the Celestial Warbringers.  It’s a concept you wouldn’t ever see in the Grimdark and I’m glad to see it show in the 8 Realms.

Battletome: Stormcast Eternals $40

60030218004_StormcastBattletome01A glorious vision of golden celestial light, a living embodiment of the God-King’s might, the Stormcast Eternals are messengers of vengeance armed with the might of stars. Once-mortal champions of Order forged by Sigmar into an astonishing fighting force, hurled down from the heavens to meet the forces of Chaos head-on, they wreak bloody revenge on the Dark Gods, the corruptors of the realms. Following the brutal battles of the All-gates, the Stormcast Eternals lead the forces of Order in reclaiming the lands of the Mortal Realms, leveraging the power of the heavens to smite the corruptions of Chaos that plague these territories.

This 164-page hardback Battletome is dedicated to the combined forces of the Stormcast Eternals, including the Extremis Chamber.
