Age of Sigmar: Realms of Ruin – Stormcast Eternal Liberators In Action

The new game Warhammer Age of Sigmar: Realms of Ruin has brought the iconic Stormcast Eternals Liberators to life!

When it comes to crushing the enemies of Sigmar in the Age of Sigmar there’s been one unit that’s been the heart of the Stormcast Eternals: The Liberators. This unit has been the workhorse of the army with their standard kit of Hammers and Shields. They helped push back the forces of chaos and liberate the Mortal Realms. And they are still fighting for Sigmar in Realms of Ruin!

For the uninitiated, Thunderstrike armour was crafted by the duardin god Grungni to help the souls of slain Stormcast Eternals smash through the cursed skies created by Be’lakor. It boasts a slimmer look compared with the first generation of sigmarite plate, even when bulked out on the shoulders of Annihilators.

Wearing the new and improved Thunderstrike Armour, you can see these Liberators are ready for war! The video also shows them activating a defensive ability “Sigmar’s Aegis” before they charge into the enemy.

Additionally, these new Stormcast Liberators also come with some changes to their hammers and shields. The new iconography showcases the duardin god Grungni, the smith behind these weapons of war, on the field of the shield. It’s a nice touch!

If you prefer the classic look vs the Thunderstrike Armour, don’t worry — you’ll be able to swap back and forth between the two options in the game thanks to the built in loadout menu.

How About A Demonstration?

Currently, Steam is running Next Fest. It’s a time of the year when the platform showcases a BUNCH of upcoming games and just about all of them have demos you can try. That includes one for Realms of Ruin! So, if you’re curious about the game and want to give it a go before it launches November 17th, now is the perfect time to download it and play it! Get your AoS RTS fix from Steam until October 16th.

Do you like the classic look for the Liberators or do you like the Thunderstrike update?
