History
The Stormcast Eternals were an army of immortal warriors that had been created by the God-King Sigmar. At the end of the final battle for the World-That-Was, Sigmar fell into darkness. Only by clutching onto the last remnant of his world did he escape destruction. Only by his unyielding will did he hold onto that metal core. Long was Sigmar's journey through the sea of stars. At last he was saved by Dracothion the Great, Father of the Stardrakes. Many are the tales that recount how Dracothion befriended Sigmar, helping him hang the metal core in the sky above the Realm of Azyr. It was Dracothion that showed Sigmar the Eight Realms, and so began what is now known as the Age of Myth. Many legends are told of Sigmar’s deeds during this period, such as when he felled Ymnog, King of Gargants, hunted down Great Nagendra, the shape-shifting realm serpent, and when he bested the greenskin god Gorkamorka in feats of strength. Indeed, Sigmar found and awakened many other gods, creating a pantheon over which he ruled. Cites were founded and civilizations flourished. Yet Chaos came, bringing war and plague, corruption and ruin. After long wars and many defeats, Sigmar’s pantheon broke, and he retreated to seclusion in the Realm of Azyr, sealing the gates behind him.
The first to feel the wrath of Sigmar's new armies were the Chaos invaders in the Igneous Delta of Aqshy where a Realmgate to Azyr stood. Striding from out of the lightning strikes, the gleaming Stormhosts brought war, swift and terrible. Long had the Chaos conquerors held sway, the oppressors glutting themselves upon the lifeblood of the just. Now, with each glowing warhammer strike, the Stormcast Eternals fought to cast down the darksome forces, to reclaim the lands in the name of Sigmar. Never in their long years of domination had the minions of Chaos been so challenged, never had they fought armies such as those that now assailed them.
Overview
The Stormcast Eternals are made for battle. Once they were mortal men and women, but they were taken to the Realm of Heavens before their last breath and reforged by Sigmar, imbued with a portion of the glory of the gods themselves. Hard he crafts them, tempering each with justice and the raw energies of the storm. Upon the Anvil of the Apotheosis they are gifted with superhuman strength and courage beyond the ken of mortal man.
All Stormcasts enter battle with calculating precision, yet there is no mistaking their emotions. Behind their stern, expressionless masks, underneath their resplendent armor, dwells a thunderous tempest. For the Stormcast Eternals fight not just for Order, or for mankind, or even for almighty Sigmar himself. They fight for vengeance. All long to avenge the depredations that Chaos has inflicted upon their peoples and their lands. It was said that they possessed a fury that was barely contained.
