Blar Blar Far Far Tar Tar sigmarines of Sigmar.

Faction Overview[edit]

Sigmar’s finest vanilla-flavored Stormcast Eternals. A dependable yet nuanced choice, but notably lacking in spice and pizazz. The faction is bloated with minor Weapon choices, letting you fine-tune your fighters for a specific job.

Pros[edit]

  • Durable: Your opponent will be looking to put 20+ damage on each of your models while only wounding on 5’s and 6’s...
  • Heavy Hitters: Most of your melee fighters have the ability to one-shot squishier targets. Additionally, if one of your paladins ever gets to double-tap, he’s going to delete just about anything in the game.
  • Versatile: See aforementioned comment about weapon options.
  • Pecs: Best bods in the biz.

Cons[edit]

  • Expensive: Your warband will be small.
  • Slow: The paladins don’t even have enough movement to climb some of the core box’s terrain in one go...
  • Unforgiving: Because of your small warband size and slow move characteristics, it’s easy to get punished for not thinking several turns in advance. Even then, a few crummy dice rolls can send a solid plan down the tubes with little ability to react on-the-fly.
  • No Girls Allowed!: Unless you go out of your way to recruit Leena Stormspire or Angharad Brightshield, your Warband model range is going to be a sausage-fest. It’s okay though; they all have cooties anyway.

Hammer vs Sword[edit]

The main argument when picking a Weapon variant; swords are +1 attack S4 on a unit, an allrounder, and more likely to score crits. Hammers meanwhile are are situations better in some matchups with their Strength to 5, letting them wound other T4 units on 3+, and T5 on 4s.

For Liberators, Lay Low the Tyrants makes the decision clear. By expending a mere double, sword liberators get to outclass their hammer bros against everything except specifically high toughness models with a wounds characteristic of less than 15. Spoilers, there aren’t many of those.

Otherwise, hammers vs swords should be chosen based on your expected meta. Or you could choose swords to match your stab-happy liberators. Or your could choose hammers because the game is literally named after your own god’s giant shiny warhammer... Whatever.
