Blackened skeletons and decaying corpses rise from the graves, summoned by the dark sorcery of Nagash, Supreme Lord of the Undead. Incredibly ancient, cruel, and insidious, Nagash seeks to reshape the Mortal Realms in his own image, transforming them into an orderly empire of mindless servants bound to his will. Opposing him is the thunderous roar of the Stormcast Eternals, celestial champions of order, who rage forth to confront the threat in epic battles that will decide the fate of the world. It is a new age, an era of mighty battles and endless war, of heroes and monsters. It is the Age of Sigmar!
Perfect for newcomers to Warhammer Age of Sigmar and the hobby of collecting, assembling, painting, and playing with Citadel miniatures, Soulstorm is an introductory set packed with miniatures, rules, and accessories that will get you playing in no time. It includes 32 miniatures from the heroic Stormcast Eternals and the terrifying undead of the Nighthaunts, arch-enemies locked in endless combat. You will also find detailed guides for assembling, painting, and playing with the models. Included are:
