Stormcast Eternals

The Stormcast Eternals are mortal heroes that have been transformed into supernatural warriors in the forges of Azyr, each the embodiment of Sigmar’s storm. They are the God-King’s wrath made manifest, and they were created for one single purpose: outright war!

This page contains all of the rules you need to field your Stormcast Eternals miniatures on the battlefields of the Mortal Realms, from a host of exciting allegiance abilities to a range of warscrolls and warscroll battalions. The rules are split into the following sections.

Designers’ Commentary

Battletome: Stormcast Eternals

Q:	Does the Hallowed Knights Only the Faithful ability apply to spells cast by friendly WIZARDS?
A:	Yes.

Q:	Does the Celestant-Prime’s Retribution from On High Ability add 2 to the Attacks characteristic of Ghal Maraz for each turn that the Celestant-Prime remains in reserve?
A:	Yes.

Q:	As the proud owner of a Stardrake, I have a question. Say for example a Bloodthirster was in combat with a unit of Paladins and they knocked it down to 4 remaining wounds and then a Stardrake piled in – does the Cavernous Jaws ability then work on a roll of 5 or more to eat the Bloodthirster, or is it rolled against the warscroll’s Wounds characteristic?
A:	It is rolled against the model’s Wounds characteristic. The wounds allocated to a model do not reduce its Wounds characteristic.

Q:	If I use the Lord-Arcanum’s Cycle of the Storm to heal a wound on a model instead of slaying it, what happens to any wounds that remain to be allocated?
A:	Continue to allocate them as normal. Cycle of the Storm will not always stop a model from being slain, but will require an extra wound to be inflicted in order to do so.

Q:	Does the Thundershock spell automatically subtract 1 from hit rolls for attacks made by enemy units that are in range, or only if I roll a 4+?
A:	Only if you roll a 4+.

Q:	Can I use Gavriel Sureheart’s command ability to affect the same unit more than once in the same phase?
A:	Yes.

Battle Traits

Scions of the Storm

Sigmar’s finest warriors strike as if from nowhere, the building storm heralding their arrival.

Instead of setting up a unit on the battlefield, you can place it to one side and say that it is set up in the Celestial Realm as a unit. You can set up one reserve unit in the Celestial Realm for each unit you have set up on the battlefield. At the end of your movement phase, you can set up one or more of the reserve units in the Celestial Realm on the battlefield, more than 9" from any enemy units. Any reserve units in the Celestial Realm that are not set up on the battlefield before the start of the fourth battle round are slain.

Shock and Awe

When the Stormcast Eternals arrive to reinforce their allies, their sudden appearance strikes terror into the hearts of the enemies of Sigmar.

Subtract 1 from for attacks that target friendly units that were set up on the battlefield during the same turn.

Stormhosts

The Stormhosts of Azyr are numerous, and each one has its own methods of waging war.

If your army is a Stormcast Eternals army, you can give it a Stormhost keyword. All units in your army gain that keyword. If a model already has a Stormhost keyword, it cannot gain another one, but this does not prevent other units in your army from having a different Stormhost keyword. You can either choose one of the Stormhosts listed below, or choose another Stormhost you’ve read about or created yourself. If you choose one from the list below, all units with that keyword benefit from the extra abilities listed for that Stormhost on the page indicated. If you choose a different Stormhost, simply pick the Stormhost that most closely matches the nature of your own Stormhost.

• HAMMERS OF SIGMAR
• HALLOWED KNIGHTS
• CELESTIAL VINDICATORS
• ANVILS OF THE HELDENHAMMER
• KNIGHTS EXCELSIOR
• CELESTIAL WARBRINGERS
• TEMPEST LORDS
• ASTRAL TEMPLARS

Stormkeep Battle Traits

The Stormcast Eternals are famed for the ferocity of their assaults, slamming to earth upon coruscating trails of lightning into the midst of their foes. Yet as the God-King’s empire grows and new conquests must be protected, the Stormcasts have adapted to a different kind of conflict, one in which an impenetrable sigmarite shieldwall is more valuable than the shock and awe of a lightning strike. Each of the great Stormkeeps stands guard over one of Sigmar’s strongholds, and boasts a small but formidable garrison of Stormcasts – the majority consisting of Liberators – that stand ready at all times to defend their ward city.

When you pick the Stormcast Eternals allegiance for your army, you can say it will be a Stormkeep army. If you do so, you must use Stormkeep battle traits below instead of the battle traits from Battletome: Stormcast Eternals (it is still considered to be a Stormcast Eternals army for the purposes of the other allegiance abilities).

Stormhosts

The Stormhosts of Azyr are numerous, and each one has its own methods of waging war.

If your army is a Stormkeep army, you can give it a Stormhost keyword. All STORMCAST ETERNALS units in your army gain that keyword. If a model already has a Stormhost keyword, it cannot gain another one, but this does not prevent other units in your army from having a different Stormhost keyword. You can either choose one of the Stormhosts listed below or choose a Stormhost you’ve read about or created yourself. If you choose one from the list below, all units with that keyword benefit from the extra abilities listed for that Stormhost in Battletome: Stormcast Eternals. If you choose a different Stormhost, simply pick the Stormhost that most closely matches the nature of your own Stormhost.

• HAMMERS OF SIGMAR
• HALLOWED KNIGHTS
• CELESTIAL VINDICATORS
• ANVILS OF THE HELDENHAMMER
• KNIGHTS EXCELSIOR
• CELESTIAL WARBRINGERS
• TEMPEST LORDS
• ASTRAL TEMPLARS

Shield of Civilisation

When the Stormcast Eternals of a Stormkeep take to the field of battle, Liberators are the main strength of the army and the foundation upon which victory is built.

Add 1 to the Bravery characteristic of friendly STORMCAST ETERNALS units while they are wholly within 12" of any friendly units.

In addition, at the end of your movement phase, you can pick any friendly LIBERATORS units that did not move and were not set up in that phase and say they will stand fast. If you do so, until your next movement phase, you can add 1 to for attacks made by those units, and you can add 1 to for attacks that target those units.

Mortal Auxiliaries

When a Stormkeep’s garrison goes to war, it can draw upon the aid of the population of the city it helps to protect.

1 in every 4 units in a Stormkeep army can be a CITIES OF SIGMAR unit. Those units cannot be the army general. Add 1 to the Bravery characteristic of those units while they are wholly within 12" of a friendly unit. In addition, when you pick a unit to benefit from a from Battletome: Stormcast Eternals you can treat those units as if they were STORMCAST ETERNALS units.

Designer’s Note: This rule allows you to use a to issue a command to a CITIES OF SIGMAR unit instead of or as well as a STORMCAST ETERNALS unit. Note that you cannot use a CITIES OF SIGMAR HERO to issue commands to STORMCAST ETERNALS units.

Scrolls of Power

or only.

ARTEFACT OF POWER

Scroll of Unravelling

As the wizard reads from this scroll, enemy spellcasters find their spells unravelling.

Scroll of Condemnation

Reading aloud from the scroll, the wizard causes Sigmar’s storm to roil and lash out at the battlefield the ground with anger.

Anvils of the Heldenhammer

The Anvils of the Heldenhammer are heroes from ages long past, summoned from their tombs by the God-King and remade as warriors eternal. Though they fight as an ordered military machine, and though they do Sigmar’s holy work, to a casual observer these ageless warriors seem like grim revenants just as terrifying as any wight.

ABILITIES
Beast Stalkers: The Astral Templars are experienced hunters of the most horrific creatures the Mortal Realms have to offer.

Battleplans


	Battleplan Avenging Strike As the thunder crashes overhead, the Stormcast Eternals arrive to deliver justice to the oppressors of the Mortal Realms. Striding from the lightning bolts, the warriors of the Stormhosts surround their enemies, their objective pure and simple – the annihilation of the enemies of Sigmar. The fiends that oppose them must try to destroy the Azyrite hosts before them – or, failing that, break out of this trap and escape. THE ARMIES Each player picks an army as described in the core rules. One player is the Stormcast Eternals player and their opponent is the Fiend player. The Stormcast Eternals player must use a Stormcast Eternals army. Each army has a unique command ability, as follows. STORMCAST ETERNALS COMMAND ABILITY No Mercy: Your general exhorts their warriors to strike unceasingly, even as the enemy turns tail. You can use this command ability at the start of the enemy battleshock phase. If you do so, pick a friendly STORMCAST ETERNAL unit wholly within 6" of a friendly STORMCAST ETERNAL HERO, or wholly within 12" of a friendly STORMCAST ETERNAL HERO that is a general. If an enemy unit fails a battleshock test within 3" of that unit, add D3 to the number of models that flee. FIEND COMMAND ABILITY Flee!: Seeing the turning of the tide, your general makes all haste to escape the sudden ambush, and their warriors follow their lead. You can use this command ability at the start of your movement phase. If you do so, pick a friendly unit wholly within 6" of a friendly HERO, or wholly within 12" of a friendly HERO that is a general. You can re-roll run rolls for that unit in that movement phase. SET-UP The Fiend player sets up their army first, wholly within their own territory. The Stormcast Eternals player then sets up their army wholly within their territory, more than 12" from any enemy units. LIKE CORNERED ANIMALS The fiends do not die easily, lashing out with spiteful blows as they are struck down. Each time a model from the Fiend player’s army is slain by an attack made with a melee weapon, roll a dice. On a 6+ pick 1 unit from the Stormcast Eternals player’s army within 3" of the slain model. That unit suffers 1 mortal wound. ESCAPE Breaking through the Stormcast lines, the exultant fiends flee into the dark. At the start of the Fiend player’s hero phase, any units from the Fiend player’s army that are wholly within 5" of the edge of the battlefield, and more than 3" from any enemy units, can escape the battle. Remove the models in those units from play, but do not count them as being slain. SIGMAR’S SWIFT VENGEANCE Stormcast Eternals act quickly against those who would defile Sigmar’s lands. Add 1 to charge rolls for reserve STORMCAST ETERNAL units that were set up on the battlefield for the first time in the same turn. GLORIOUS VICTORY The Fiend player wins a major victory if no models from the Stormcast Eternals player’s army are on the battlefield. The Stormcast Eternals player wins a major victory if no models from the Fiend player’s army are on the battlefield and no more than 3 Fiend units escaped the battle (see ESCAPE). If no models from the Fiend player’s army are on the battlefield and between 4 and 6 Fiend units escaped the battle, the Stormcast Eternals player wins a minor victory. Any other result is a minor victory for the Fiend player.


	Battleplan In Sigmar’s Name An army of invading marauders is threatening to storm a fledgling city of Order with the goal of pillaging its riches and slaughtering its inhabitants. The only thing that stands between this invading horde and the city’s gates is an army of Stormcast Eternals. Girded with the power of the Heavens, they must prevent the enemies of Sigmar from defiling this haven and making off with its treasures. THE ARMIES Each player picks an army as described in the core rules. One player is the Stormcast Eternals player and their opponent is the Marauder player. The Stormcast Eternals player must use a Stormcast Eternals army. Each army has a unique command ability, as follows. STORMCAST ETERNALS COMMAND ABILITY Let None Pass: The general orders their warriors to stand firm and bar the marauder’s path. You can use this command ability at the start of the enemy movement phase. If you do so, pick a friendly STORMCAST ETERNAL unit wholly within 6" of a friendly STORMCAST ETERNAL HERO, or wholly within 12" of a friendly STORMCAST ETERNAL HERO that is a general. Enemy units cannot pass across or finish a move within 6" of that unit in that movement phase. MARAUDER COMMAND ABILITY Brook No Delay: Your general’s orders are clear – these warriors are an irrelevance, and should be swept aside so that the plundering might commence. You can use this command ability at the start of your charge phase. If you do so, pick a friendly HERO. You can re-roll charge rolls for friendly units that start that phase wholly within 12" of that HERO. SET-UP The players alternate setting up units one at a time, starting with the Marauder player. Marauder units must be set up wholly within their territory. Stormcast Eternals units must be set up wholly within their territory. Continue to set up units until both players have set up their armies. If one player finishes first, the opposing player can set up the rest of the units in their army, one after another. FIRST TURN The Marauder player takes the first turn in the first battle round. GETTING AWAY WITH THE PRIZE Plunder has great value to many of the enemies of Sigmar. From enchanted trinkets to precious metals, all are worth taking. At the start of the Marauder player’s hero phase, any Marauder units that are wholly within 5" of the western edge of the battlefield, and more than 3" from any enemy units, can escape the battle. Remove the models in those units from play, but do not count them as being slain. GLORIOUS VICTORY The Marauder player wins a major victory if there are no STORMCAST ETERNAL models are on the battlefield. The Stormcast Eternals player wins a major victory if there are no models from the Marauder player’s army on the battlefield and no Marauder units escaped the battle (see GETTING AWAY WITH THE PRIZE). If there are no units from the Marauder player’s army on the battlefield but 1 to 3 Marauder units escaped the battle, the Stormcast Eternals player wins a minor victory. Any other result is a minor victory for the Marauder player.

Followers Rewards Table

REWARD

Lifted by Lightning

This unit of warriors calls to Sigmar for aid, asking the God-King to use his arcane lightning to propel them across the battlefield.

Once per battle, if this unit is more than 3" from any enemy units in your movement phase, instead of making a normal move with it, you can remove it from the battlefield and then set it up anywhere more than 9" from any enemy models.

2	Sigmarite Resolve Their souls girded against even the most dreadful opponent, these warriors will never run from their duty. This unit never has to take battleshock tests.

3	Furious Avengers Driven forth by their hatred of the foe, these warriors charge out from the Stormcast battle-line to deliver the God-King’s justice. Once per battle, in your charge phase, this unit can make a charge move of up to 12" (you do not have to make a charge roll).

Defensive Formation

There is great strategic merit in digging in, bolstering your defences and waiting for the right moment to strike.

In your hero phase, you can declare that this unit is adopting a defensive formation. If you do so, then until the start of your next hero phase, this unit cannot run or charge, but you can re-roll failed save rolls for attacks that target this unit.

Smite

These warriors are the deliverers of Sigmar’s wrath; from their weapons arc forks of deadly lightning that smite any foes who dare to draw near.

Once per battle, in your hero phase, you can pick an enemy unit and roll a dice for each model from this unit that is within 3" of that unit; for each roll of 4+ the enemy unit suffers 1 mortal wound.

6	Hardened Veterans These determined Stormcasts are fortified by the experience of having fought on dozens of battlefields. Once per turn, you can re-roll 1 failed hit roll or 1 failed wound roll for an attack made by this unit, or one failed save roll for an attack that targets this unit.

Champion Rewards Table

REWARD

Dark Destiny

Struck down by some eldritch spell or fell weapon, your champion’s soul will not return to Azyr.

If your champion is slain, you lose D3 Glory Points (to a minimum of 0), and must remove all rewards your champion has gained from this table so far from your warband roster. Generate a new champion from the Champion table on page 140.

Flashbacks

The memory of your champion’s mortal life returns to them in flashbacks. Sometimes the grief of those distant days is too much to overcome; other times it inspires them to greater acts of vengeance.

Roll a dice in your hero phase. On a 1, re-roll unmodified hit and wound rolls of 6 for attacks made by your champion until the start of your next hero phase. On a 4+ you can re-roll hit and wound rolls of 1 for attacks made by your champion until the start of your next hero phase.

Heroic Battle Cry

Your champion’s voice carries the message of Sigmar to all who follow them, leaving no doubt in their minds of their sacred duty.

5	Mighty Blow A single strike from your champion’s weapon is often all that is needed to slay their opponent outright. If the unmodified wound roll for an attack made by your champion with a melee weapon is 6, add 1 to the Damage characteristic of that attack.

6	Master-crafted Weapon This weapon has been gifted to your champion by the Six Smiths, and it is endowed with great power. Pick one of your champion’s weapons. Add 1 to hit rolls for attacks made with that weapon.

7	Extraordinary Endurance Your champion is able to withstand injuries that would fell a lesser warrior. Add 1 to your champion’s Wounds characteristic.

9	Blessed Sigmarite Armour The enemy’s blows bounce off the plates of this formidable panoply, unable to even make a dent. You can re-roll failed save rolls for attacks that target your champion.

10	Battle-hungry Your champion leads their warriors from the front, charging across the battlefield with weapons ready to taste the blood of their foe. Add 2 to run rolls and charge rolls for your champion.

11	Noble Blood Your champion’s esteemed heritage grants them resilience in battle, allowing them to shrug off serious injuries with ease. Roll a dice each time you allocate a wound or mortal wound to your champion. On a 6+ that wound or mortal wound is negated.

Lord of Lightning

Death is no permanent obstacle to your champion; renewed by the power of Sigmar’s lightning, they return to the battlefield once more.

Once per battle, at the start of your hero phase, you can roll a dice if your champion has been slain. On a 5+, set up your champion more than 9" from the enemy and roll a D3; the result is the number of wounds they have remaining. This counts as their move for the following movement phase.
