Warhammer Age of Sigmar: Skaventide (80-03)

he Hour of Ruin is nigh, and the skittering, numberless hordes of the Skaven flood into the Mortal Realms. So vile is their warp-magic, so potent their arcane weaponry, that Sigmar has sent his most powerful champions to hold back the tide – the Stormcast Eternals. At their head march the Ruination chambers, warriors who have endured death so many times that they are more akin to living weapons than the humans they protect.

If you're looking to plunge headfirst into the new edition of Warhammer Age of Sigmar, look no further than this launch set. Warhammer Age of Sigmar: Skaventide comes complete with two powerful armies, pitting the golden might of the Stormcast Eternals against the skittering threat of the Skaven – hideous and cunning ratmen seeking to spread their twisted influence, and lay waste to the Mortal Realms.

The set also includes a Skaventide-exclusive version of the Warhammer Age of Sigmar Core Book, which provides extensive background information on the game’s fantastical setting, as well as complete rules for playing thrilling games with your Warhammer miniatures. Accompanying this is the Spearhead: Fire and Jade hardback book, containing all the additional rules you need to play the brand new Spearhead game mode for Warhammer Age of Sigmar, along with a double-sided gameboard on which to play out your Spearhead clashes.

This boxed set includes:

1x 272-page hardback Warhammer Age of Sigmar Core Book: Discover the lore of Warhammer Age of Sigmar and learn to master magnificent armies of valiant warriors, wild daemons, and more on the battlefield. This tome includes all of the game’s core rules, three different styles of gameplay suitable for players of every level, variant game types for siege battles and tunnel fighting, and much more.

1x 144-page hardback Spearhead: Fire and Jade book: Take on the brand new Spearhead game mode and enjoy fast, tactical, small-scale battles that are different every time. This book contains all the rules you need to play Spearhead, including how to get started, Spearhead Battlepacks, and Spearhead army rules for a huge range of factions and miniatures – including rules to play with the Stormcast Eternals and Skaven miniatures in this boxed set – as well as a copy of the Core Rules for easy reference.

1x 30" by 22.4" double-sided game board: A heavy card game board that can be folded for easy transport. It depicts the blasted landscape of Aqshy, the Realm of Fire, on one side, and the green land of Ghyran, the Realm of Life, on the other. Each side features 5x objective markers, and is perfect for use as a battlefield in your Spearhead games.

74x plastic push-fit miniatures: At the heart of the Skaventide set are two armies of brand new miniatures, each cleverly designed so they can be pushed together without the need for glue. Each force includes a flexible range of powerful warriors armed with devastating weapons, and they can easily be bolstered with additional reinforcements to act as the core of a larger collection. These models include:

24x Stormcast Eternals
The chosen champions of Sigmar, plucked from their mortal bodies at the moment of their death and Reforged to fight once more. Each Stormcast Eternal is a nigh-immortal warrior, capable of fighting hordes of the fiercest foes and emerging victorious.

- 1x Lord-Vigilant on Gryph-stalker – Commanders of the Ruination chambers, these warriors wield axes that turn foes to ash with a single strike, while their Gryph-stalker mounts mark foes for death with an ominous and accursed caw.
- 1x Lord-Terminos with 1x Memorian – Armed with a sacred executioner's blade, Lords-Terminos are burdened with the duty of putting their fellow Stormcast Eternals to rest and releasing their tormented souls, never to be Reforged again.
- 1x Lord-Veritant with 1x Gryph-crow – Few Stormcast Eternals are as dreaded as the Lord-Veritants. Chosen from those whose hatred of Chaos eclipses all else, they hunt corruption wherever it lurks, using their burning swords and lanterns to expose ruinous taint.
- 1x Knight-Questor – Sigmar has chosen each Knight-Questor to undertake a mission of the utmost import. These questing warriors strive to complete their mysterious tasks, no matter the cost – allowing none to undermine the God-King’s will.
- 3x Reclusians with 2x Memorians – Reclusians stride to battle on only the darkest days, for these immortal warriors hover on the precipice of losing their humanity entirely, and their lightning-scoured souls are particularly resistant to the corrosion of Chaos.
- 3x Prosecutors – Prosecutors streak through the heavens like vengeful meteors, carried on burning wings. Such are the dangers faced by these angelic warriors that many are now assigned to the Ruination chambers, to serve as merciless instruments of Sigmar’s justice.
- 10x Liberators – To the Liberators falls the duty of casting down the warlords of ruin and stamping Sigmar’s claim upon the realms. Clad in thunderstrike armour, they can withstand the blows of insidious hordes and the foul magic of corrupted battlefields alike.

50x Skaven
For centuries, the perfidious ratmen known as the Skaven scurried out of sight, rising only to bombard their foes with hideous mutants, magical machines, and overwhelming numbers. Now they erupt across the realms in explosive boils of corruption, their schemes finally bearing fruit.

- 1x Clawlord on Gnaw-Beast – Clawlords are the most accomplished Skaven war-leaders. Clad in heavy armour and wielding blades marked by fell runes, they drive their hordes to conquer, screeching threats from atop their horrific Gnaw-beast mounts.
- 1x Grey Seer – Most devious of all Skaven, Grey Seers are the sorcerous agents of the Masterclan, who work to manipulate their society from the shadows. Identifiable by their horns and ashen fur, they possess a terrifying mastery of dark magic.
- 1x Warlock Engineer – The Warlocks of the engineering Clans Skryre drive the industry of all Skavendom. However, they are all utterly insane, and obsessed with crafting ever more inventive weapons of death.
- 1x Ratling Warpblaster – Ratling Warpblasters are designed to cull massed infantry, using a complex series of rotary cannons to spit out a torrent of warpstone-infused missiles. Anyone caught in their path must dive for cover or be reduced to bloody mist.
- 3x Rat Ogors – These rabid mutants are created by fusing Skaven flesh with muscled bulk of ogors through vile surgery, cryptosorcery, and toxic serums. Consumed by pain and gnawing hunger, Rat Ogors tear at their enemies in a blind fury.
- 3x Warplock Jezzails – Skilled Skaven snipers crew Warplock Jezzails, which can spit death from a distance. These gunners use highly pressurised warpstone gas to launch deadly shards across the battlefield, picking off the most impressive targets they can spot.
- 40x Clanrats – Clanrats are the dregs of Skaven society, considered utterly disposable by their masters. Motivated by hunger, fear, and ambition, Clanrats fight on no matter how many are crushed, stabbed, or cut down, armed with whatever rusted blades they can scrounge.

4x plastic push-fit terrain features: This terrain set shows fractured Sigmarite architecture that has been desecrated with the twisted icons and aesthetics of the Skaven. It is also ideal for playing out the Spearhead games featured in the Spearhead: Fire and Jade book.

All miniatures come supplied with their appropriate bases. These push-fit miniatures can be assembled without glue and are supplied unpainted – we recommend using Citadel Colour paints.

36x Spearhead cards: These cards contain Twist cards and Battle Tactics ready for you to shuffle and draw during your Spearhead games.

17x General's Handbook cards: This card deck is for quick reference during matched play games of Warhammer Age of Sigmar, including 2024-25 Season Rules cards, Battle Tactics cards, Battleplan cards, and a Score card.

1x 6" plastic range ruler and 1x 3" plastic range ruler: Featuring sculpted skull and rat icons to designate inches, these range rulers can be used separately, or pushed together to make a single 9" range ruler for use in your games.
