Games Workshop - Warhammer Age of Sigmar - Starter Set Harbinger

Product Information

You’ll probably be keen to start expanding your new armies to make the wars you wage all the more epic. If you’re particularly keen on the new look of the new Stormcast Eternals and Orruks and can’t wait to start filling up your Kallax with dozens more minis, I have bad news. Currently, the new style of Orruk and Stormcast Eternal figures are only available in the Dominion release and the three new Starter Sets. If you want to build the “defaults” then just aim for matching the pictures at the end of each section in the build guide. Warhammer Age of Sigmar: Warrior Starter Set – Sprue A – Gutrippaz

It’s a good little book. There’s minimal fluff contained within: it gives you the rules and little else. Of course, there are still some pictures of studio-quality models inside to break up the paragraphs of instructive text and inspire you to start slinging paint at your figures, but the book focuses on the core rules – and only the core rules. Rules Reference Sheets A close-fought thing, but victory to the Stormcast Eternals. Tutorial Battleplan 5: Hallowed Ground As I said in the Harbinger review, it’s interesting that the setup for this Battleplan don’t utilise the Hobgrots, who actually have a ranged weapon on their warscroll. Either the Hobgrots’ shrapnel grenades would totally unbalance the Battleplan, or Gee-Dubyah got a little happy with the copy-pasting (something I can understand having had to review three of these boxes!). The first sprue in the set is the main exception to the above rule. the Gutrippaz feature more smooth curves than any other model so you will find some extra trimming is needed on parts of the skin. 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, 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. Other people, and this is the category into which the FauxHammer.com writing team falls, hate it. It’s big, it’s boring, and we’d rather be painting tiny plastic people. Or monsters.

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. The Kruleboyz delivered an absolutely devastating Fight phase and killed a pair of Vindictors – mostly thanks to the new 6s equals Mortal Wounds rule. One thing to be aware of with these figures is the join line down the cape on each side. Once again, some sprue goo (that’s glue with some old sprue mixed in to make a melted plastic paste) will be your friend here and you’ll be able to make the gap disappear, as I have in the picture below. The Kruleboy came out fighting, inflicting a Wound on the Vindictor-Prime – one more and he wound be defeated and victory would pass to the orruks. But in his turn, the Kruleboy failed to get through the Vindictor-Prime’s defences, and was slain in the Stormcast’s part of the Fight Phase. Tutorial Battleplan 2: High Ground My respect to the designer of this sprue. most of the time you will find that sculptors will create 1 body for a model and make it look marginally different from another head or weapon. here they have given us multiple bodies. with the chest armour being the same. We also then get optional head’s too.These sprues are separated from your paper goods below by a divider. Once side is printed with the Age of Sigmar logo, the other with the iconic Vindictor-Prime versus Killaboss artwork. Each moving 5″ after the Shaman and succeeding on their high Charge rolls, the Vindictors all closed on the Swampcalla Shaman and Pot-grot. A bloodbath ensued. 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.

AGE OF SIGMAR: STORM STRIKE

It’s interesting that the setup for this Battleplan don’t utilise the Hobgrots, who actually have a ranged weapon on their warscroll. Either the Hobgrots’ shrapnel grenades would totally unbalance the Battleplan, or Gee-Dubyah got a little happy with the copy-pasting (something I can understand having had to review three of these boxes!). Range Rulers and 10x Dice: These essential accessories cover you for movement, shooting, close combat, and more. The Praetors are a great inclusion for any Starter Set as they are really simple to build, but look awesome when completed. Nevertheless, we have 10 models here Warhammer Age of Sigmar: Warrior Starter Set – Sprue B – Vindictors On the left sleeve, the parts you have joined will need clean up. but there are other parts in the way. You’ll need a sharp hobby knife, patience, and a good deal of flexing to get in there.
