Warhammer: Age of Sigmar 2.0 ‘Soul Wars’
Games Workshop unleashes the new Warhammer: Age of Sigmar 2.0 set – Soul Wars – and it’s PACKED with tons of great stuff for the new edition. It’s a whole new ball game and the teams are ready to play!
“The day has finally come. With the new edition almost upon us, we can reveal the culmination of Nagash’s great work and the beginning of a new chapter for Warhammer Age of Sigmar – SOUL WARS.”
“Thanks to some extra-cunning engineering, every single model in the kit is push fit, from your line infantry to the magnificent Heroes who lead each force. If you’re looking to get gaming in the new edition as soon as possible, just grab a pair of clippers and you’ll have both forces built in no time.”
I can’t believe this kit is push-fit! That’s crazy talk – and I can’t wait to get my hands on it! But that’s just the tip of the iceberg. Check out all the models:
And of course all the accessories you’ll need to get started immediately:
“Firstly, you’ll find a Getting Started booklet in the set to guide you through your first few games and teach you how to play, so if you’re new and looking for an easy way in, this is it! Meanwhile, the 32-page Battle for Glymmsforge booklet follows the story of the armies in the boxed set, as the Stormcast Eternals encounter the new Nighthaunt for the first time in the opening battles of the Soul Wars.”
Oh, and if that wasn’t enough there are also 13 new Warscroll cards to help out with keeping track of all these new units and their rules:
And finally, you’ll get the epic looking 320 page, full-color hardback for the new edition:
The first half of the book is dedicated to the lore, art and narrative of the Mortal Realms so far. It’s looking packed with great new art, tons of story to sink your teeth into and a fleshed-out timeline that takes you from the Age of Myth to the current events of the Shyish Necroquake. Oh and let’s not forget faction guides, too! If you’re a new player or an old vet this book has all the background to get you caught-up and ready to battle in the Mortal Realms!
The second half of the book is where you’ll find all your core rules. Here’s a taste of what you’ll be getting:
- Realm of Battle rules that let you set your games in the mystical landscapes of the Mortal Realms.
- An Open War Battleplan generator that makes choosing which battleplan you play easy, and some basic rules for multiplayer games.
- A guide to all sorts of narrative play games, from desperate sieges to brutal subterranean warfare, and some inspiration for your own campaigns.
- Six matched play battleplans, as well as Battle Strategies – a new way to score your games that rewards quick-thinking and flexibility.
Now, that’s included in the upcoming Soul Wars box. However, if you don’t want the models (for some reason – like you have a massive collection and just don’t want to start two new armies) you’ll be happy to know the Core Book will be available separately.
Mark your Calendars. The Soul War begins June 16th.
