Age of Sigmar: The Realms Are Alive With Arrival of the Incarnates
Age of Sigmar is getting some new magical entities and Ghur is the first Realm to come to life with an Incarnate.
With all the magical happenings swirling in the Mortal Realms it’s not really a surprise that the land itself is starting to manifest as something more sentient. Games Workshop has gone into the details of the lore of what’s happening in the new Incarnates, specifically in the upcoming Season of War: Thonida.
“As the realms are battered by cosmic energies and scarred by war, incarnates emerge, binding themselves to the local realmstone. This acts as the core of a roaring vortex of energy and matter – in the case of the incarnates of Ghur, this means a hurricane of bestial bones. These sentient whirlwinds of ethereal power roam the lands, growing fat by feasting on endless spells. Some remarkable individuals are even able to bind and command them, albeit only temporarily.”
GW goes on to further tease that other “Predatory Endless Spells become prey in the face of these Apex entities.” That does not bode well for other endless spells interacting with the new Incarnate.
Lore-wise, GW is also teasing this is just the first of many more Incarnates. With each Mortal Realm manifesting their own. No two Incarnates will be the same either and they will be based on the place they were first encountered. That’s why the Krondspine is made of beastial bones and whirling magics.
From the sound of the lore it also seems like you’ll be able to add this new magical beastie to your roster — but there’s always the chance it could rebel. Furthermore, we’re very curious about it’s actual interactions on the tabletop. Based on the lore it seems like this magical creature might just have some sort of a profile like another beast. It also sounds like it will have some interesting interactions with those endless spells.
“The battle was unusually fierce, and both sides became more savage as they fought on – even growing curved fangs and scaly skin. Only Yndrasta managed to resist the energies of the Krondspine Incarnate as they clashed in a brutal brawl that left the winged hero broken. “
If the Krondspine can do a number on Yndrasta then I’m really curious how it’s going to work on the tabletop! Hopefully we’ll find out even more when the new Season of War book arrives.
Your first chance to snag this model/magical spell is going to be in the new Realmscape: Thondian Strongpoint box. It also comes with a bunch of other cool looking terrain to add to your collection, too.
The Krondspine might be the first of the Incarnates to make an appearance but I doubt it will be the last.
What do you think the Krondspine will do on the tabletop?
