Age of Sigmar - Neuigkeiten, Produktbilder und Gerüchte [No comments please]

That’s right – the Orruks are coming to the cursed City of Mirrors. The latest warband announced for Warhammer Underworlds: Shadespire, Ironskull’s Boyz, are here to conquer with brute force and a little Orruk kunnin’. These greenskins will be representing the forces of Destruction in the first wave of Shadespire warbands, released soon after the game itself – which will be supported by its own dedicated website – later this year.

Also confirmed at NOVA was that all of these new Shadespire warbands, Orruks included, will eventually get full Warhammer Age of Sigmar Warscrolls (once they escape from the City of Mirrors, of course).

But that’s not all on the way from the Mortal Realms….

Dark powers stir in the Mortal Realms. Malign Portents is a major event for Warhammer Age of Sigmar players, and it’s on the way in 2018. There will be big things coming both for the narrative of the setting and for matched play gamers.

There will be new models on the way for this release too, the first of which we can show you today. Introducing – the Knight of Shrouds:

It’s been a little while since we’ve seen a new Death model for Warhammer Age of Sigmar. Patience is rewarded though – we hadn’t forgotten about you. Alongside this Herald of Nagash, each of the other three Grand Alliances will also be getting a powerful new hero.

The Beast Wars saw the rise and fall of many monstrous creatures, from entities wise and noble despite their terrifying appearance, to fell behemoths of base intelligence that revelled in the wanton destruction left in their wake.THE BEAST WARS
If you decide a battle is taking place in Ghur, the Realm of Beasts, then you can specify it is occurring during the Beast Wars. If you do, the following rules apply. These rules can be used instead of, or in addition to, the rules for fighting in the Realm of Beasts that can be found in the General’s Handbook 2017.

BEAST OF LEGEND
If your army includes any Monsters, you can pick one to represent a legendary creature that rose to prominence during the Beast Wars. Declare which Monster is a Beast of Legend, and pick a trait that best matches its backstory from the table below. Alternatively, you can roll a dice to randomly determine which trait from the table your Beast of Legend has.

We’ve included all of this, as well as the Raging Fury battleplan in a handy download for you to try out!

THE BEAST WARS
If you decide a battle is taking place in Ghur, the Realm of Beasts, then you can specify it is occurring during the Beast Wars. If you do, the following rules apply. These rules can be used instead of, or in addition to, the rules for fighting in the Realm of Beasts that can be found in the General’s Handbook 2017.

A TIME OF MONSTERS
The Beast Wars were named for the mighty creatures that rose up across the lands to fight, infused by the bestial energies of Ghur.
At the start of your hero phase, you can heal 1 wound that has been allocated to each of your Monster Units.

TITANS OF WAR
During the Beast Wars, the unbridled ferocity of the terrible creatures that dominated the battlefields soon became dark legend amongst the harrowed survivors.
Monsters can be picked to fight when they are within 6” of an enemy unit, and can pile in up to 6”.

If you’re looking to try these rules out, The Beast Run is the perfect battleplan. Here, a retreating army attempts to lure their pursuer through the hunting grounds of a pack of wild beasts; you’ll be able to pool your collection of monsters with a friend to create a fun (and chaotic) battlefield that’ll be sure to put your tactical skills to the test.

If your army won a major victory in a battle taking place during the Beast Wars, you can roll on the following table instead of the Triumph table on the Warhammer Age of Sigmar rules sheet in your next battle. The result applies for the duration of the battle.

We’re also releasing a brand new battleplan for your games; ‘Trophy Kill’ is aimed at Skirmish Warbands and you’ll have to balance trying to kill each other with attempting to bring down a rampaging Monster!

THE MAGIC OF GHUR
If you decide a battle is taking place in Ghur, the Realm of Beasts, then Wizards know the Monstrous Phantasm spell in addition to any other spells that they know.

MONSTROUS PHANTASM
The wizard links part of his own life force to a mighty spectral beast, which is summoned forth to strike down the caster’s foes.
Monstrous Phantasm has a casting value of 7+. If successfully cast, set up a Monster anywhere on the battlefield fully within 12” of the caster and more than 12″ from any enemy models.
At the end of each turn, you must take a special battleshock test by rolling a dice and adding the number of wounds allocated to that monster that turn. If the total exceeds the monster’s Bravery characteristic, the caster suffers D3 mortal wounds. In addition, if the monster is slain, the caster suffers D3 mortal wounds. If the caster is slain or flees, the monster is slain.
In pitched battle games, you do not need to pay reinforcement points for a monster summoned with this spell, nor does it count as a casualty for the purposes of victory if slain.

COMMAND ABILITY
If you decide a battle is taking place in Ghur, the Realm of Beasts, your general has the Compel Beasts command ability in addition to any other command abilities they have.

COMPEL BEASTS
Using his domineering presence, the general commands his bestial minions to assail the foe without hesitation or mercy.
If your general uses this command ability, then you can re-roll charge rolls for friendly Monsters that are within 12” of the general at the start of the charge Phase.

Where better to test these new spells and command abilities than in another free battleplan? Unleash the Beast gives a defending army a powerful monster bound by magical energies – but should it break free, control switches to the attacking side!

Breaking news from Shadespire today.
Literally. We have a great new piece of art to show you, depicting some of the warring factions within the city reflected in a fractured mirror, including a few new surprises…

The city of Shadespire draws treasure hunters from near and far in search of Shadeglass, while many more simply find themselves trapped in its haunted labyrinths by pure misfortune.

As well as the Stormcast Eternals, who hunt Shadeglass as a means to surviving their Reforging with their memories and personality intact, and the Khorne Bloodbound who are, understandably, overjoyed by a city where they can shed blood for eternity, Shadespire is fought over by many types of warbands. Two of these we’ve seen already in the form of the brutal Orruks and the undying Deathrattle of the Sepulchral Guard.

While the four grand alliances are already represented, that certainly isn’t everyone; here’s a sneak peek through the Shadeglass at who else we might expect to meet in the eternal arenas of the Shadespire.

Warhammer Underworlds: Shadespire will be released next month.

Even before the release, the first official events hosting this new game have already been announced.
For those of you in the UK, the Blood & Glory gaming weekend in Derby this November will play host to Shadespire gaming, alongside it’s Warhammer 40,000 and Warhammer Age of Sigmar tournaments.
If you’re on the other side of the pond, the Las Vegas Open in January will be hosting what will likely be the first major Shadespire event in the US.

We’ll have news on the exact event packs for both of these events very soon, so stay posted…
With Shadespire in stores in October though, you won’t have to wait long, wherever you are, before you can play in your local area.
