This is a time of upheaval. An era of war. This is the Age of Sigmar!
Ever since Sigmar’s storm broke, the peoples of the Mortal Realms have fought tooth and nail for the islands of civilisation they founded. Every city has been scorched by the fires of war, every populace plagued by the hardships of sheer survival. Yet now the hour of destruction has come, for the fabric of reality tears, and countless hordes of rat-like skaven undermine decades of progress.
Still, Sigmar's armies march on. They know well that the cycle of endless war is inescapable and takes its toll even on the mighty Stormcast Eternals. But even if the candle of hope flickers, it burns brightly enough to inspire thousands of selfless acts.
