The Stormcast Calvary is charging full speed ahead – and they have the rules to bring the pain!

Battletome: Stormcast Eternals is coming to stores this weekend and it’s promising to be a consolidated tome for all the old and new units that the Stormcasts have access too. On top of being a handy reference for the Stormcasts, it’s also got a TON of new rules for all the Golden-Warriors of Sigmar. Here are a few teasers:

Sigmar Prayers 1

Standards Stormcasts

stardrake rules 1

Gryph Charger 1

Dracoth Traits

Stormcast Battle Traits

Command traits

There are some really great abilities within these rules. The Stormcasts are going to have lots of ways to re-roll charges and more ways to make their attacks even deadlier. I particularly like Bless Weapons from the Prayers chart. The Prayers Chart in general is nice –  it will make those Lord-Relictor models a better option in the future.

I’m looking forward to getting this Battletome this weekend –  I can’t wait to see what else is in store for the Stormcasts!

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.
