Age of Sigmar - Stormcast Eternals - Faction Update

As with the Blades of Khorne, I'm not posting this Faction Update because these are any sort of priority, it's because there aren't a LOT Of them and they're ALL assembled and in, more or less, one place 

There is one odd thing, in that this is really TWO forces... there are elements from two separate Stormhosts... and multiple Chambers... it gets a bit messy... 

This is what I have and what I still need to do as of the beginning of January 2025... 

Hammers of Sigmar

The Hammers of Sigmar is the bog standard Stormhost (much like Ultramarines) a LOT of the background fluff written has involved the Hammers of Sigmar and ALL of the Stormcast Eternal Warhammer Underworlds warbands have come from the Hammers of Sigmar Stormhost...

All of my Hammers of Sigmar Stormcast eternals are simply ALL THE WARHAMMER UNDERWORLDS WARBANDS!?

Painted

These are all the Hammers of Sigmar Stormcast Eternals I have done. 

All Warhammer Underworlds warbands and Valius, the Keeper Aqshian, pilfered from the Saviours of Cinderfall box. 

I'm not entirely sure I can even cobble these togeher into a useable force in Age of Sigmar anymore. I could in 3rd edition... But now..? I'm not sure what Valius, the Keeper Aqshian would count as...? Lord-Castellant? Lord-Celestant? Even if he WAS one of these, that would mean he could include four units from the Warrior chamber in his regiment... except that... While Steelheart’s Champions and Xandire’s Truthseekers are from the Warrior Chamber... Stormsire’s Cursebreakers, the Castigators and Ironsoul's Condemnors are from the Sacrosanct Chamber, and The Emberwatch are from the Vanguard Chamber, neither of which could be included in his regiment...

I might have to just know that these are for Warhammer Underworlds and role-playing games only... 

Heroes

  • Valius, the Keeper Aqshian...? 

Units

  • Castigators (3) 110 - Sacrosanct Chamber

Legends

  • Steelheart’s Champions (3) 110 - Unique, Warrior Chamber, Infantry
  • Stormsire’s Cursebreakers (3) 130 - Unique, Sacrosanct Chamber, Infantry
  • Xandire’s Truthseekers (3)  130 - Unique, Warrior Chamber, Infantry

Ironsoul's Condemnors isn't even listed in Legends!? They are Sequitors, but you need five of them to field a unit... I guess they're just Warhammer Underworlds warbands now... or useable in Warcry or Soulbound or other games... 


Still to DO!

On the plus side, I don't have a lot to do for these... Just two Warhammer Underworlds Warbands; the Emberwatch and Domitan's Stormcoven (which, in Age of Sigmar, isn't even a Legends unit, it's just called "Stormcoven") 

Units

  • Stormcoven (3) 210 Warrior Chamber

Legends

  • The Emberwatch (3)  140 - Unique, Vanguard Chamber, Infantry


When it's ALL DONE

All the stuff together. 

Yeah... I don't even know how I could organize these for use in Age of Sigmar anymore... and that's okay, I guess... 


Anvils of Heldenhammer

The "real" Stormcast Eternals force I have for Age of Sigmar will be from the Anvils of Heldenhammer Stormhost! They have black and gold armour and wear red capes. Elements of thsie stormhost are present in Aqshy and have a stormkeep in Anvilgard - where a large part of the Shadows in the Mist campaign for Soulbound takes place!  


Painted

Well... this is all I have painted for the Anvils of Heldenhammer... One Knight Questor... I got a lot to do!!


Still to DO!

This is all the [faction] I still have to do

[another list]

Heroes

  • Lord-Vigilant on Gryph-stalker (1) 180 - 0-1 Stormcast Exemplar, Any Ruination Chamber, Any Warrior Chamber
  • Lord-Terminos (1) 150 - 0-1 Stormcast Exemplar, Any Ruination Chamber, Any Warrior Chamber
  • Lord-Veritant (1) 120 - 0-1 Stormcast Exemplar, Any Ruination Chamber, Any Warrior Chamber
  • Knight-Questor (1) 120 - 0-1 Stormcast Exemplar, Any Ruination Chamber, Any Warrior Chamber - can be included as Stormcast Exemplar
  • Lord-Imperatant (1) 140 - 0-1 Stormcast Exemplar, 0-1 Gryph-hounds, Any Warrior Chamber


Units

  • Castigators (3) 110 - Sacrosanct Chamber
  • Liberators (5) 100 - Warrior Chamber
  • Liberators (5) 100 - Warrior Chamber
  • Praetors (3) 150 -  Warrior Chamber
  • Vindictors (5) 100 - Warrior Chamber
  • Reclusians (3) 140 - Ruination Chamber
  • Prosecutors (3) 140 - Ruination Chamber


Legends

  • Steelheart’s Champions (3) 110 - Unique, Warrior Chamber, Infantry

Steelheart's, though, are a named unit from the Hammers of Sigmar... so I thought I might use Steelheart as a Knight-Questor and the two others as bonus/alternative Liberator miniatures...? Or maybe they'll just be used in role-playing games as well... 

The Castigators might also only see use in skirmish games or role-playing games... as I have no one that can lead troops from the Sacrosanct Chamber!?

If I don't really consider Steelheart or the castigators, that's 31 Miniatures... surely I could get these done in a few weeks, if I set my mind to it! Maybe a month...? But that's not going to be THIS month... 


When it's ALL DONE


All the stuff together. 

When I'm done I should be able to field...

Lord-Vigilant General's Regiment

  • Hero - Lord-Vigilant on Gryph-stalker (1) 180 - 0-1 Stormcast Exemplar, Any Ruination Chamber, Any Warrior Chamber
  • Stormcast Exemplar - Knight-Questor (1) 120
  • Unit - Prosecutors (3) 140 - Ruination Chamber
  • Unit - Liberators (5) 100 - Warrior Chamber

Lord-Terminos' Regiment

  • Hero - Lord-Terminos (1) 150 - 0-1 Stormcast Exemplar, Any Ruination Chamber, Any Warrior Chamber
  • Stormcast Exemplar - Knight-Questor (1) 120 (Steelheart Miniature!) 
  • Unit - Reclusians (3) 140 - Ruination Chamber

Lord-Veritant's Regiment

  • Hero - Lord-Veritant (1) 120 - 0-1 Stormcast Exemplar, Any Ruination Chamber, Any Warrior Chamber
  • Unit - Liberators (5) 100 - Warrior Chamber

Lord-Imperatant Regiment

  • Unit - Gryph-hound
  • Unit - Praetors (3) 150 -  Warrior Chamber
  • Unit - Vindictors (5) 100 - Warrior Chamber

Total: 1560 points

Well, when I'm done I'll have another Spearhead army, a force that can be used in a 1000-1500 point game, and LOTS of options for allies and encounters in the role-playing game... 


Bringing the Stormhosts Together!

You know, sometimes, in times of crisis, multiple Stormhosts are brought togehter... what would THAT all look like, if I had them all done...

Both Stormhosts... 

fielding them gets even messier!? Let's maybe just think of it as lots of potential ally encounters for the role-playing game... 



Stuff to GET!?

I really, REALLY don't think I'll NEED to get anything for these... ever... Certainly not this year...
