The launch box for Warhammer Age of Sigmar is available to pre-order right now, and the Core Book, General’s Handbook, Faction Packs and more will become available on Saturday. Meanwhile, on Warhammer+, we’re continuing with our Mortal Realms coverage.
Loremasters presenter Alex is continuing his State of the Realms series, and this time the focus is on the realms of Metal and Death. Chamon’s metallic landmasses have long been the focus of Tzeentch, whose magics have even twisted the realm into a spiral formation – though the Kharadron Overlords seek to thwart his machinations here.
Shyish of course is the domain of the tyrant Nagash, who exerts a monomaniacal control over the dead in his pursuit of perfect a necrotopia where all life is extinguished. Having a good (un)life is all about setting and achieving reasonable goals, you see.
With Skaventide on the way you’re going to have 50 Skaven to paint, and Citadel Colour Masterclass painter Ed has been working hard on top tips to paint distressed wood and metal, like you’ll find on the bases of the various Skaven, and in the construction of the ramshackle Ratling Warpblaster.
All of these techniques can be applied elsewhere – the Deadwalker Zombies and ranged Kruleboyz armaments like the Beast-skewer Killbow are filled with plenty of opportunities to paint mouldy wood and worn metal, so even if you’re not a fan of the Great Horned Rat, you’ll find something to love here.
You can watch all of this and plenty more right now as part of a Warhammer+ subscription. Subscribe and you’ll get access to the Warhammer Vault, a digital collection of White Dwarfs and lore from previous publications. If you subscribe for a year, you will also get the choice of one of two awesome free miniatures.
