The war is over, and the Mortal Realms have all but fallen to Chaos... Khorgos Khul rampages across the fiery Realm of Aqshy, hunting down mortal kind to slaughter or subjugate to Khorne. His Goretide have crushed all resistance... until the storm. From the heavens hurtle paladins clad in gold. Sent by Sigmar, the Stormcast Eternals have come to liberate all the realms from the yoke of Chaos. A stunningly-presented hardback novella, with striking cover art adorning its wraparound dustjacket. This individually-numbered limited edition of 2,000 is a must-purchase for both collectors and anyone intrigued by the Stormcast Eternals' glorious fight against Chaos. This edition features metallic ink and embossing on the dustjacket, and an exclusive colour section featuring incredible artwork and background details on the featured characters. It’s your first chance to enter the mortal realms and see Sigmar’s chosen warriors in action – heroes of heavenly magic in god-forged armour who ride the storm and bring death to the servants of Chaos, in this case the dreaded Goretide. The perfect place to start exploring the Age of Sigmar.

Across the Mortal Realms, a storm rages. Sigmar announces his return as his Stormcast Eternals strike a vengeful blow against the hordes of Chaos. Lord-Celestant Vandus Hammerhand has claimed one of the Gates of Azyr – he now makes for the dreaded Gate of Wrath in the fire-blackened Brimstone Peninsula of Aqshy, and a reckoning with the Chaos Lord Korghos Khul. His fellow Lord-Celestants fight just as hard to break the dominion of Chaos; the Stormhosts’ grand crusade brings war to the Ghyrtract Fen, where Gardus of the Hallowed Knights strives to take back the Gates of Dawn. Meanwhile, in the mystical Hanging Valleys of Anvrok, Thostos Bladestorm leads his men against a towering fortress which conceals a prize beyond measure. Get your first look at the Realms of Life and Metal, and a whole load of new heroes and villains! See what different Stormhosts are like (we're fond of the Celestial Vindicators. They are angry. Very, very angry) as they get their hammers dirty amongst the creepiness of diseased forests and abandoned (and haunted!) cities. This volume contains the stories 'Borne by the Storm' by Nick Kyme, 'Storm of Blades' by Guy Haley and 'The Gates of Dawn' by Josh Reynolds.

This 240-page novel continues the thrilling saga of the Realmgate Wars with two tales of the Stormcast Eternals as they seek new allies and an ancient artefact to aid in their battle against the Ruinous Powers. The cover depicts a heroic Knight-Azyros brandishing his Warding Lantern, above a scene of battle from the Realm of Life depicting the Hallowed Knights locked in combat with the plague hordes of Nurgle. Sigmar's hammer has been part of Warhammer since the very start (it's right there in the name) so the battle to get it back is a big deal – and it's a massive story, full of heroism and treachery and lots and lots of kick-ass action. Plus over in the Realm of Life, find out who the Sylvaneth are and – crucially – whose side they're on.

Amongst all of the Stormhosts, none are more vaunted than the Hammers of Sigmar. Forged first upon the Anvil of the Apotheosis, their Warrior Chambers are exemplars of Sigmar’s glory. In the shadow of the Nomad City, the mettle of the Stormbound is tested against the hordes of Khorne in the battle to sanctify the Crucible of Blood, a gateway to Chaos and madness. Within the ranks of the Stormcast Eternals, there is one who is greater than all others. He is the Celestant-Prime, Sigmar’s Storm made manifest. For centuries he slumbered, until the great hammer of Sigmar, Ghal Maraz, was returned and he rose again. But a warrior born must still be tempered, and so unto the swamps of Krahl does Sigmar cast his scion to destroy a powerful creature called the Prismatic King. The Celestant-Prime makes his first appearance in Black LIbrary's Warhammer Age of Sigmar fiction! And as the God-King's champion battles his foes for the first time, he tries to make sense of who he is, what his purpose is and why he's worthy of wielding the might of Ghal Maraz. The Realmgate Wars: Hammers of Sigmar contains two brand new stories: Stormcast by Darius Hinks Scion of the Storm by C L Werner

The War of Life rages on, as Torglug the Despised and the forces of Nurgle seek to destroy the Everqueen. But with their new Stormcast allies, the beleagured sylvaneth at last have a hope of victory... Athelwyrd, the last great bastion of Ghyran’s sylvaneth, has fallen to the pestilent servants of the Plague God. At their head, the warlord Torglug the Despised will do anything to seize the ultimate prize his master so fervently desires: Alarielle, the Everqueen. Her defenders will not see her taken easily though – Lord-Castellant Grymn and his chamber of Hallowed Knights have sworn themselves to her protection. As a great exodus of sylvaneth and Stormcast Eternals sets out from the ruin of Athelwyrd with Torglug’s Chaos host hard on their heels, the strength and conviction of Alarielle’s defenders will be tested as never before. The dramatic events of the War of Life from the Balance of Power campaign book come to, well, life. C L Werner weaves a fascinating tale of heroes and villains, with a serious suprise at the end.

Lord-Celestant Arkas Warbeast of the Celestial Vindicators returns to the lands that he ruled in his mortal life – lands befouled by the verminous hordes of the Clans Pestilens. Can Arkas retain his focus and restore order to his lands? The once noble tribes of Ursungorod in Ghur have almost entirely fallen to Chaos, and an infestation of Clans Pestilens skaven has amassed in the caverns beneath the snowy tundra. There, Poxmaster Felk is on the brink of opening a vital realmgate – but Sigmar intends to seize this portal for himself. Arkas Warbeast, Lord-Celestant of the Celestial Vindicators, was once a mortal ruler of these lands. Now, with the aid of the Knights Excelsior, he has returned to free his kingdom from the clutches of Chaos and claim the realmgate in his God-King’s name. But first he must vanquish the ghosts of his past and overcome his own conflicted nature, in order to unleash the beast within. It's a new – and very personal – look at the Stormcast, with a focus on how they struggle to set aside their pasts in the service of Sigmar, from the master of character-based drama, Gav Thorpe.

Still in search of allies for their war against Chaos, the Stormcasts brave the Ghurlands... but someone else is there, a champion of Tzeentch seeking a mighty weapon. Only a dangerous mission into the Howling Labyrinth can stop the sorcerer before it's too late. Zephacleas and his Astral Templars have been sent into the wildest regions of the Ghurlands to seek out Gorkamorka, the double-headed god of the orruks and one-time ally of Sigmar in the age before Chaos. However, their search is interrupted in the boneyards of the gargants by the Tzeentchian sorceress Sharizad, who quests for a powerful daemon sword. Aided by the black-clad Sons of Mallus, the Astral Templars must brave the Howling Labyrinth to stop the weapon from falling into the wrong hands – and unexpected allies in this mission might lead them closer to their original goal: meeting the fist of Mork and the fist of Gork. It's a thrill-packed adventure against impossible odds and with some extremely unlikely allies for the Stormcast...
