age of sigmar stormcast cover book smToday we’re getting a look at four warscroll battalions for Age of Sigmar. Come check out the latest rules that are included in the new Battleforce boxes.

Battleforce Boxes

Let’s take a look at the latest pictures courtesy of Scanner.

Grand Alliance Death

Grand Alliance Death will have access to The Eyes of Nagash ability if you take the listed units. This will give +1 to the Attacks characteristic of Akmet-har and Aken-seth while Neferata is within 6″ of any units of Morghast Archai from the Blade of the Blood Queen.

Kharadron Overlords

The Kharadron Overlords will be getting the Sky-fleet battalion. The Directed Firepower ability will give any Skyvessel from the Sky-fleet within 6″ of the battalion’s Arkanaut Admiral a +1 to hit rolls in the shooting phase. For a very shooty army this can be extremely dangerous for your opponent.

Stormcast Eternals

The Stormcast Eternals will be receiving the Swift Hunters ability with the Vanguard Brotherhood battalion. This will give them +1 to hit rolls for Stormcast Eternals units in the battalion in the shooting phase as long as any units of Gryph-hounds or Aetherwings from the battalion are within 3″ of the target unit.

Tzeentch

Cult Worship will be giving Tzeentch a +1 bonus to their casting rolls for the Chancult’s Tzaangor Shaman for each unit of Tzaangors or Kairic Acolytes from the Changecult battalion that are Battleforce Boxeswithin 6″ of the Shaman when the casting roll is made. This can become extremely deadly really fast if you keep your Shaman close to your other units and start stacking that +1 perk.

 

 

All in all these new battalions look like they’re going to be a great addition to these armies, and might make you think twice about your strategy the next time you’re facing an opponent running one of these. The new Battleforce boxes will be out soon, so make sure you check out just how much you’ll be saving by picking one of them up.

What are your thoughts on the new battalions? Are you planning on picking up a Battleforce box?
