Age of Sigmar: Mortal Realms Issue 1 £2.99  \nReview by Jonathan Aird  \nA couple of years ago now, Games Workshop quite surprisingly ditched their game  \nWarhammer Fantasy Battles and launched a new fantasy game Warhammer Age of  \nSigmar. This caused upset and a boom in sales in about equal measure. This January, in association with publisher Hachette, Games Workshop have launched a new fortnightly partwork allowing the novice gamer to buy their way into the world of Warhammer Age of Sigmar a little at a time. This is quite like the approach of the Warhammer 40K partwork that started last year--each fortnight the partwork will provide more rules and figures (or maybe just paint!) to allow a pair of opposing forces to be built up a little at the time and painted increasingly well as the available paints (and the skill) increase over the weeks.  \nThe first issue, which is at the typically good introductionary price of £2.99 (later issues will be £7.99) is a very generous start. Alongside a rulebook, a huge poster, six dice, a cardboard\"battle map\" and a transparent flat plastic flexible ruler there are two full sprues of figures. These are three figures of Stormcast Eternals Sequitors and 10 figures of Nighthaunt Chainrasp Hordes – which, if my interrogation of the GW website is correct, normally retail at £10 and £15 respectively. The Stormcast Eternals look rather like low technology Space Marines--the armour is just armour, not power armour, the weapons are not energy weapons but just axes and the like. The Chainrasp hordes are ghostly forms that look to have been inspired by Dickensien lost souls as found in“A Christmas Carol”--spectres tied to the earth by the chains they forged in a lifetime of unkindness or outright evildoing.  \nBoth sprues are shown in the following pictures--I really like the sculpted bases ofthe Stormcast figures, but to be honest I don't really know what use the figures will be. Perhaps they could be used to make a small skirmish force for something like Frostgrave or Songs of Blades and Heroes, and I'm toying with the idea of using one or more as statues--they'd look pretty good with 6mm figures as over-the-top gigantic figures, they might also make good Golems ofthe bronze or iron variety.  \nThe Chainrasps on the other hand I really do like and can see them being used in any number of areas-within the same fantasy skirmishes or perhaps more likely in a horror scenario for Strange Aeons or other such skirmish games. They'd be useful for any RPG which allows for the undead-and as I picked up a few copies of this launch issue of Warhammer Age of Sigmar: Mortal Realms I've got plenty enough to populate the catacombs of an underworld for a Dungeons & Dragons scenario .  \nAs would be expected at such a bargain price the magazines have sold very quickly-I saw large numbers on the day of issue but by a couple of days later they seemed to have vanished!  \nI imagine that there will be a lot of sprues popping up on Ebay for a bit cheaper than GW sells them for! I'll certainly take a look at future issues-the big poster has, on the reverse, photographs of what the whole series will provide and there are some very tempting looking scenery items that might be cheaper to pick up this way than direct from GW.","cbCaidRusg4LUQPC","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaidRusg4LUQPC","pdf",631482,"English","# Issue 1 overview\n## Partwork concept\n## What’s included\n## Figure sprues and uses\n## Availability and future issues","[{\"question\":\"What is the Warhammer Age of Sigmar: Mortal Realms partwork and how does it work?\",\"answer\":\"It is a fortnightly partwork that provides new rules and figures over time, allowing players to build up opposing forces gradually while improving painting skills and available paints.\"},{\"question\":\"What materials are included in Issue 1?\",\"answer\":\"Issue 1 includes a rulebook, a large poster, six dice, a cardboard battle map, a transparent flexible ruler, and two full sprues of figures.\"},{\"question\":\"How are the two figure sprues (Stormcast Eternals and Nighthaunt) described in the review?\",\"answer\":\"Stormcast figures are compared to low-technology Space Marines, while the Nighthaunt Chainrasps are praised for ghostly designs and are suggested for use in skirmishes, horror scenarios, or RPG undead content.\"}]","Warhammer Age of Sigmar: Mortal Realms Issue 1 - Review | PDF",1791349628]
