Games Workshop - Warhammer Age of Sigmar - Starter Set Harbinger

Product Information

With the Vindictor Prime now within 3″ of the Shaman, the damage value on his Arcane Missile changed from 1 Mortal Wound to D3 Mortal Wounds (take a D6, 1-2 = 1 Wound; 3-4 = 2 Wounds; 5-6 = 3 Wounds). With a successful cast roll and a subsequent roll of 3 on a D6, the Vindictor-Prime was killed by the grinning Shaman. The Knight-Arcanum is a great model: straightforward to build and everything fits together relatively snug. With unboxing three out of three done and dusted, let’s have a closer look at the contents, starting with the books, cards, and other written goodies that you’ll find within the Extremis Starter Set. Now, the Vindictor gets a chance to Save to see if the Wound counts. The Vindictor has a Save characteristic of 3+, but rolled a 2, so suffered one Wound.

So, you’ll be able to build either the figure on the top row or the one directly below them. This is great, as it means there’s lots of scope to personalise your new fighting force. The Lord-Imperatant is easily one of the most impressive amongst the new line of Stormcast Eternals figures. He’s covered with awesome details – including a shoulder-cape that appears to be a relative of his partially-canine companion. Swampcalla Shaman with 1x Pot-grot: Even for Kruleboyz, Swampcalla Shamans are foul creatures. These spell-flingers have an innate connection to the mires they inhabit, which they channel into noisome spells of debilitation while brewing up vile elixirs to aid their green-skinned kin. These models come supplied with a Citadel 40mm Round Base and a Citadel 25mm Round Slotta Base.

This time, though, instead of military ranks and titles, everything’s got a snazzy high-fantasy name. Instead of the Recruit Edition, we have the Warrior Edition. Instead of the Elite Edition, we have the Harbinger Edition. And finally, instead of the Command Edition, we have this – the Extremis Edition. The rest of the scenery goes together with relative ease, though they are absolutely webbed with mould lines, so be prepared to give everything a good scraping. Every Stormcast Eternal unit charged: the Lord-Imperatant leading the way into the Shaman, the Praetors piling into the Hobgrots, and the Vindictors into the Gutrippaz. With three Celestar Ballistae set up as objectives and the armies set up, the two sides rolled off. The Kruleboyz would be going first. The problem is, it’s just not all that impressive. Games Workshop produce some incredible and detailed scenery for use in their games, and and at the end of the day, it is just a cardboard box. The Mat

Moving on to the Shooting Phase, the Hobgrots aimed their shrapnel grenades at the Vindictors and threw. In spite of their efforts, they only managed to land a single wound on the Vindictors. If you are an existing player, a painter or just someone interested in Stormcast or Kruleboys. if you missed Dominion, this is the box for you Unfortunately, the Shaman is a bit more difficult to build. In hindsight, I wish I had just removed the push-fit posts on this figure and glued him together at the seams. A lot of the push-fit parts felt a little too tight, and with the parts so fragile it was hard not to have large gaps. As you might expect, I had to make quite merry with the sprue goo. The Gutrippaz fared better, causing two Mortal Wounds to the Vindictors and killing another of their number. But the Vindictor’s Blaze of Glory ability killed another Gutrippa. The shaman and his Pot-grot managed to further injure the Lord-Imperatant, bringing him down to 2 Wounds.This time, we’ve lost the run-of-the-mill Warhammer 40,000-themed military ranks and gained some glittery fantasy-themed names for these new boxes. We have the appropriately fantastical (and much harder to follow) Warrior Edition, the Harbinger Edition and the Extremis Edition. From the most straightforward sprue to the most annoying. Two of these come in Dominion and can I just say, that was too many. This sprue irritated me. The layout alone was just crazy with all the little parts.

The second Battleplan in the sequence is designed to to teach players about moving around the battlefield and handling terrain. For this, we needed to set up the Cardboard Box of Destiny XL: the Dawnbringer Bastion (which is twice the size of the one in the Warrior Starter Set). The scenery you’ll find in the Extremis Starter Set is what sets it apart from the Harbinger beneath it. There is no printed paper tray in this set, only proper, hard plastic scenery, the like of which has not previously been released.You’ll find the same ten Stormcast Eternals figures in the Extremis Starter Set as you would in the Harbinger Starter Set: five Vindictors, three Praetors, a Lord-Imperatant and his Gryph-hound. They’re all great figures and will look awesome on your shelf, desk, tabletop, or wherever it is you decide to stash your (un)painted models. Oh no, these books are fantastic. The Extremis book has everything you need to make the most out of the set and to ensure you are suitable submerged in the hobby. This is where the real meat of the Warrior Starter Set lies. The Warrior Edition book is your all-inclusive introduction to the world of Age of Sigmar using the figures in the box. The box, like the other Starter Sets, contains two Reference Sheets. These take the core-most concepts and most vital workings of a game of Age of Sigmar and strip them down further still so you can have them at your elbow during a game. A close-fought thing, but victory to the Stormcast Eternals. Tutorial Battleplan 5: Hallowed Ground
