The 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.

Each side features 5x objective markers, and is perfect for use as a battlefield in your Spearhead games.
