The upcoming 4th Edition ofAge of Sigmarwill be reworking the rules, changing the world, and putting the chittering Skaven’s war with the Stormcast Eternals front and center. Thankfully, the newSkaventideboxed set looks like an interesting option for new and returning players alike.
To keep us all somewhat happy until we can get our hands on the new edition, Games Workshop has revealed what the new starter box contains. You will get 1200 points of both the Skaven and the Stormcast Eternals, allowing you to have equal battles with a friend immediately. A total of 24 Stormcast models and 50 Skaven models will make up the two sides.
The box will contain the following items:
One of the standout parts of the new edition that interests me is Spearhead. I have been playinga lot of skirmish gamesdue to space constraints, and the smaller footprint and removed list building is very attractive to me. The Spearhead book will contains rules for 25 unique Spearheads across the games many races.
Games Workshop has yet to confirm anything price-wise, but we did get a sneak peak of the prices thanks to theterms and conditionsof a giveaway that GW will be running. We should be looking at a £160, €210, or $265 price tag. This pretty much lines up with the Leviathan release prices for Warhammer 40K if you add the recent percentages for the price-hikes that Games Workshop are bringing in.
We are still waiting for GW to announce the exact release date, but for now, it falls simply into “Summer 2024”.
