Here are the new Arcane Cataclysm AoS warscroll rules for Lumineth Realm-lords and Tzeentch inside the box!
While there are only two new models inside the box, there are updated warscrolls inside, which is always nice to see. We’ll cover all the new rules, the value of the box, and more! Let’s get into it!
New Arcane Cataclysm AoS Rules & Warscrolls!
Let’s start with the rules from GW:
These peerless warrior-wizards walk a different path from their kin, seeking inner truths and pondering the nature of the cosmos itself. This powerful understanding of Hyshian symmetry is a tool to “educate” the lesser races in blazing beams of searing white light, manifesting the wrath of the Realm.
Denezia Warwidow draws upon the duality that imbues the Rune of Enthlai held in her hand to boost her already considerable powers. This artefact may repeat a successful spellcast on a roll of 3+. One cast, double the fun.
Getting a double cast is pretty sweet, and considering it’s only on 3+, you should get this off most turns. Remember that it’s only on one spell, so make sure you choose wisely!
Their mastery of the symbolism and symmetry of Hysh allows Scinari Enlighteners to bind themselves to a foe with a cord wound from reality itself. When the Scinari Enlightener takes a wound or mortal wound, this causal link causes the same injury to their unwilling partner.
This is a very interesting spell, but if you know an enemy unit is going to attack your model, might make for some fun scenarios.

These pics come from the Sprues & Brews unboxing and review.
As we saw before, stacking effects is awesome, and a pretty decent mage overall!
Some big changes here, first, you can’t shoot out of LOS anymore, but you are doing mortals and ignoring cover at 24″.
Next up, Shining Company means basically as long as you’re in formation, you’re getting the -1 to hit, so it should work basically all the time!
Tzeentch Warscroll Rules
The ability to steal a spell is just insane if you are against a one-cast wizard; they literally can’t do anything! Then, getting a ranged attack is nice, and giving a ward save is also solid.
This is a huge change… They no longer cast spells, so that is what it is…
Tzaangors get a pretty big buff as they hit harder and can get an additional attack. Finally, if they charge, they get +1 to wound, which means basically the whole unit wounds on 2’s.
Shutting down commands is probably the biggest change here, which is pretty serious! Now, let’s check out what kind of value is actually in the box!
AoS Arcane Cataclysm Box: $220 Retail
Inside the box, you’ll find 55 finely detailed Citadel miniatures – perfect for starting new armies or adding to existing ones. There are also new battleplans and rules to play out the epic confrontation between these two ancient enemies.
Originally we based this value Arcane Cataclysm Box breakdown on the price of the Echoes of Doom box, which sold for $195. However, unfortunately, this box was revealed to have a retail price of $220, 25 more than EoD.
Lumineth Value:
- Scinari Enlightener $35 (based on recent characters)
- Vanari Dawnriders $65
- Vanari Bladelords $60
- Vanari Auralan Sentinels $60
Total MSRP: $220
Total value versus half the $195 box price for Lumineth: $110
Disciples of Tzeentch Value:
- Curseling $35 (based on most recent characters?)
- Tzaangor Enlightened $55
- Kairic Acolytes $55
- Tzaangors $50
Total MSRP: $195
Value versus half the $195 box price for Tzeentch: $85
The overall value breakdown of the Arcane Cataclysm Box versus the confirmed retail price of $220 is $415. So if you buy the box at the retail price, you could profit well over $200 in value “in Games Workshop money.”
That is not counting the small AoS core rulebook that we assume will also come in this box and add some value.
