At the AdeptiCon Studio Seminar, we revealed that Sisters of Battle are on their way. We promised you we’d keep you updated and take you on this army’s journey from design to release. Now, as promised, we can finally show you just what the new generation of Adepta Sororitas is going to look like:
The classic gothic design of the Sisters of Battle is, to be frank, awesome, and with the new range, the design studio hasn’t been trying to change that – instead, we’ve gone back to the original art and looked at how we can truly bring it to life using cutting edge design technology. The first model of the new generation of Sisters of Battle is based – almost detail-for-detail – on some of the most iconic Sisters of Battle art ever made, and you can expect the rest of the army to follow the classic design cues you know and love.
We’ve pushed our designers to the limit with these new models, and this first Battle Sister is the perfect example of that – she’s got everything from ragged purity seals, rosaries and charms, to precise mechanical details on the bolter and power armour that has been lavishly realised. The scenic base alone is an awesome piece in its own right. We think it’s safe to say that if you’re a Sororitas fan, the wait has been well worth it.
This Battle Sister will be the first you’ll be able to get your hands on, a special preview release ahead of the main wave to make the wait a little bit more bearable. We can’t say when just yet, but stay tuned to Warhammer Community to find out as soon as we have a date.
Sat 12.00pm – Live Blog 4: A New Age of Battle Begins
Fans at the Studio Preview seminar were lucky enough to see the coolest, most high-budget trailer the Warhammer TV team have ever made…
Ok, not the most high-budget trailer we’ve ever made, but certainly the most exciting news of the year so far. Warhammer Age of Sigmar’s new edition is coming – a comprehensive revamp of the game and setting you love.
Over the past three years, Warhammer Age of Sigmar has been steadily growing, transforming into an increasingly rich game with a compelling story, supported by a growing community of players.
The new edition is designed to consolidate on everything you love about Warhammer Age of Sigmar, while refining gameplay, adding depth and darkness to the lore of the Mortal Realms, and transforming magic into something very special indeed.
You may have cast a Purple Sun before, but never like this – get ready for roaming, predatory spells, fantastical enchantments and summoned sorceries that aren’t just words on a warscroll but active (and very deadly) participants in your games.
What would a new edition be without some awesome new models? The new Warhammer Age of Sigmar will be kicking off in style with two new armies… Did we mention this is new?
We knew that dastardly God of Death, Nagash, was up to something, and now we know what. Across the realms, armies of spirits answer his summons to war – an undying tide of hatred and fell magic that seeks to usher in a new age of death.
With spectral monstrosities, unbound spells and Sigmar-knows-what rampant in the realms, the forces of Order are going to need more than hammers to combat these new foes.
Enter the Sacrosanct Chamber.
Sneakily previewed earlier this year with the Lord-Ordinator, these guys are engineers, magi and priests who tend the soul-forges of the Stormcast Eternals, now forced into the conflict with Nagash’s new legion of soul-hungry revenants.
We’ve only just scratched the surface of what the new Warhammer Age of Sigmar means for you.
Over the next few weeks, right here on warhammer-community.com, you can look forward to daily articles on every aspect of the new edition – with more previews, tacticas and exploration of the realms, than ever before.
The new edition of Warhammer Age of Sigmar will also be accompanied by some exciting new features, starting with an official podcast:
The Hammerhal Herald, meanwhile, takes a wry look at what life’s like for the everyman (or aelf, or duardin) in the Mortal Realms with bulletins, adverts and notices from the streets of the greatest of the free cities:
That’s not all – you’ll be able to follow the lighter side of life as a Stormcast Eternal in Roll Models, a new webcomic.
In short, there are exciting times ahead for Warhammer Age of Sigmar – and we’ll be making sure you don’t miss any of it.
Sat 11:30am – Live Blog 3
We’ve brought Johann along – we wonder what new friends he’ll make today…
Striking new art – a guide to the event, and a guide to Historic Cinderfall.
Cadia Stands! We’ve got some excellent cosplay incoming.
The atmosphere is electric. You could cut the tension with a chainsword.
Sat 9:00am – Live Blog 2: The Gates are Open…
Warhammer Fest has begun – and we’re coming out of the gate swinging with a pretty massive announcement!
Since January, fans have been wondering just what Malign Portents is leading up to. The growing darkness emanating from Shyish certainly heralds change, but what?
The time has come for all to be revealed…
That’s right – there’s a new edition on the way for Warhammer Age of Sigmar, and it’s coming very soon. We’ll have more details on just what this means for you after the Studio Preview later this morning – in the meantime, you guys like cool models, right?
Wonder who these guys are? (We think it’s safe to say they’re not pals.) Make sure to come back soon for further news…
