He blew up the old world, and now Archaon and the Everchosen are defending themselves from Nagash? Here comes the newest supplement for Age of Sigmar!
Warhammer Community previewed these new Age of Sigmar releases a few weeks ago at their Open Day.
2019 was an incredible year for Warhammer, with new games, new armies, and the first of the new plastic Sisters of Battle. Today, we’re at the New Year Open Day, getting a sneak peek at what’s coming in 2020 for the Mortal Realms and the grim darkness of the far future…
As of this post, there was no official video showcasing the Everchosen supplement.
Everchosen- The Supplement
Que the bad vs. rotten theme music, Age of Sigmar is about to have a fateful showdown…
The big news of 2019 was the rise of the Ossiarch Bonereapers – Nagash’s new legion, ready to bring war to every corner of the realms. 8 of those corners lie within the Eightpoints, the heart of Archaon’s empire of Chaos. So, now the forces of Death are making a play for the most strategically valuable citadel in creation.
Prepare for the ultimate Evil vs Evil mega Chaos-Death fight in “Wrath of the Everchosen”.
This new book tells the story of the Ossiarch Bonereaper invasion of the Eightpoints and the battle for the Varanspire. It’s just as well a lot of you have recently started new Chaos forces, as you are going to have lots of undead to kill in 2020.*
There will be loads of fun stuff for every gamer in the Age of Sigmar too, with new rules for wandering monsters, roaming endless spells and even siege warfare!
Personally I think the appeal of AoS is that there isn’t as much complexity to the game, but maybe this new supplement will offer something that makes a little bit more book keeping worth it?
Chaos players will get especially spoilt, with a host of new army options to represent the myriad forces under Archaon’s command – mortal, monster and daemonic alike. It’s a good time to be bad!
Warcry New Releases
Warcry is also getting some new releases updates too. We had already seen some of these lovelies, but apparently folks at open day could see them first hand!
Your warband will definitely want to break the spirit of one of these beasts and add them to your menagerie as you seek glory in the Bloodwind Spoil, and you won’t have to wait long as they’ll both be available in the next few weeks.
From this display preview, these monsters all look to be separate releases. At $35-$40 per single model now in Warhammer, how much do you think they will retail for shortly?
True to their word, painted versions were on hand as well.
Beastgrave Hrothgorn’s Mantrappers
Get in his belly!
Fighting for a different type of glory is the newest Warhammer Underworlds warband. Hrothgorn’s Mantrappers are coming to Beastgrave and are looking hungry.**
It doesn’t matter how big you are or how small – everyone in Beastgrave is going to be prey when Hrothgorn arrives.
That’s all the previews on the Age of Sigmar side of things. Don’t worry though, there is still Aether War on the way next week, and as you can see plenty more is on the way as well.
Which is your favorite addition to AoS?
