#MortalRealmsMonday

Did you catch last Thursday's art reveal and update? We were delighted to share the Great Parch (above) by the talented Jared Blando and today we have two more art reveals to share!

Only those who burn belong to life.   

- Vendell Blackfist, last great Smith-Lord of the Direbrand Tribe

The Great Parch has stood at the centre of many of the greatest events in Aqshy’s history, for good and ill. It was on the Great Parch where many of the barbarous tribes of the east first willingly embraced worship of the Blood God, but also where Sigmar first unleashed his Stormcast Eternals and struck back against the armies of Chaos. The indomitable Fyreslayers were born on the Great Parch, yet so too was the twisted Goretide of the terrible Chaos Warlord Korghos Khul. The Great Parch has been the backdrop for some of the greatest victories and vilest atrocities in the history of the Mortal Realms. This is where your story begins.

#40kFriday

We are busy putting together all the exciting elements that make up the W&G Rulebook, from the range of archetypes to the extensive wargear. Keep an eye on our Facebook and Twitter pages for more details, the team is focused on finishing the PDF, and we will update you on its release date as soon as we can. Read on for this week’s art reveal for the Tactical Space Marine Archetype. 

‘We are judgement. Death is absolution.’

—Chapter Master Tygranas Dalir

Enigmatic and dour, the Absolvers Chapter of the Astartes are based — and now trapped — in the Gilead System. Recruitment of Neophytes has skyrocketed since the appearance of the Great Rift to alleviate the burden of these stalwart warriors, oath-bound as they are to defend the Imperium’s citizens from the fell foes of the Emperor.

The citizens of the Heartworlds whisper of the righteous wrath of the Absolvers, relentless and draconian in their fight against heresy. Each noble Astartes knows they have no reinforcements; cut off

Hello! Welcome back to #MortalRealmsMonday. As mentioned last week, we’re in the final stages of playtesting for Warhammer Age of Sigmar: Soulbound. We’ll be discussing more of our playtests, but first we wanted to share some insight into how combat works.

Put ‘em Up

Before we get into things, if you haven’t read our posts on how tests work in Soulbound, you can find them here and here. Read them? Cool, let’s get to it.

In Soulbound, characters have three major combat traits: Melee, Accuracy, and Defence. 

Melee is how effective you are in hand-to-hand combat. It is derived from your Body and your Weapon Skill. When making a Melee Attack, you make a Body (Weapon Skill) Test.

Accuracy represents your marksmanship and ability to pick out a target. It is derived from your Mind and your Ballistic Skill. When making a Ranged Attack, you make a Body (Ballistic Skill) Test.

Defence is how hard you are to hit, and how adept you are at avoiding danger. Defence is derived from your Body and

Love is in the air... even in WFRP? Check out these rather special lonely hearts and let us know who takes your fancy over on our Facebook and Twitter pages. Perhaps you're an AAH or WTRTAWFO ?

Kemperbad Lonely Hearts Column

It is that time of the year when all hearts turn to considerations of love and passion, and so it often is in the Old World as well. It is a fact not widely known that, from 2405-2420 IC, the matchmaker Johan Weber in the town of Kemperbad did maintain a column for those individuals whose had trouble meeting other like minded individuals.

Below are a small selection of such texts, recovered from the remains of Johan’s printworks after it was burned to the ground by a mob in an action the town council later characterised as both ‘justified’ and ‘overdue.’

As it is both difficult and frustrating in the extreme work the plates of this Dwarf-cursed machine, here are the abbreviations of the most common expressions

Hello! Welcome back to #MortalRealmsMonday!

We’re in the final stages of playtesting for Warhammer Age of Sigmar: Soulbound, with regular playtests happening with the team in the office and a select few external groups. So this week we wanted to share a quick recap of what we’ve been testing.

Lights in the Gutters

Recently, we did some lunchtime playtesting to try out the new “Swarm” mechanics. The Soulbound headed into the ruins beneath the city of Brightspear (which you will learn more about in the Soulbound Starter Set) to investigate some strange lights. It turns out, the Skaven had burrowed deep beneath the city and their alchemical experiments were causing a whole lot of strangeness. 

The group was faced with dozens of Skaven Clanrats, a Grey Seer, and a Rat Ogor. The Rat Ogor is a big heavy-hitting enemy, but isn’t too smart. The Grey Seer is a warpstone-devouring spellcaster, but is very squishy. The Clanrats aren’t much of a threat individually, but can be dangerous in a group

#MortalRealmsMonday 

Today we’re revealing a brand new Archetype for Age of Sigmar: Soulbound — the bloodthirsty Hag Priestess of the Daughters of Khaine. Let us know what you think over on our Facebook and Twitter pages!

Zealous and Cruel

The God of Murder is yours to invoke.

The priestesses of the Cult of Khaine are selected from the ranks of the Witch Aelves by Morathi herself. They are usually chosen as a reward for exceptional bloodthirstiness or zeal, but the goddess is not above ulterior motives in her selections. Those that survive the many trials which follow emerge hardened by the experience and suffused with a bloody zeal for the God of Murder that surpasses even that of their former sisters.

Through blood rituals and incantations the Hag Priestess is able to call down the wrath of Khaine and perform miracles in combat. Further, they are masters of poison, and most carry at least one treated blade secreted away somewhere at hand; they concoct an assortment of witchbrews and
