Ancient skeletons and mouldering corpses crawl from their barrows,
called forth by the dark sorcery of Nagash, Supreme Lord of the Undead.
Ancient beyond reckoning, cruel and infinitely calculating, Nagash seeks
to remake the Mortal Realms in his own image, transforming them into an
ordered empire of mindless thralls, leashed to his will. In opposition,
thunder rolls as the Stormcast Eternals, heavenly champions of order,
rage forth to meet this threat head-on in epic clashes to decide the
fate of the world, This is a new epoch, a time of mighty battles and
unending war, a time of heroes and monsters. This is the Age of Sigmar!
A perfect introduction to Warhammer Age of Sigmar, and the wider hobby
of collecting, building, painting and playing with Citadel miniatures,
Tempest of Souls & Paint is a starter set packed with miniatures,
rules and accessories that will have you up and running in no time. It
includes 32 miniatures split across the factions of the heroic Stormcast
Eternals and ghastly, undead Nighthaunt – mortal enemies locked in
unending combat – and all the tools and paints you need to get them
clipped off the frame and painted. Included:
Miniatures
32 push-fit miniatures, which can be assembled without glue and are even supplied on pre-coloured plastic:
Stormcast Eternals
The glorious forces of Sigmar, pure and unbowed warriors dedicated to
scouring the Mortal Realms of Chaos, Destruction and Death. Each of the
12 Stormcast Eternals miniatures in the box is an Easy to Build push-fit
model, supplied on gold plastic sprues and requiring no glue to
assemble:
- A Knight-Incantor – a glorious and powerful wizardly leader carrying an incantor’s staff along with a voidstorm scroll
- 2 Evocators – shock-troops who blaze with celestial lightning, armed with tempest blades and stormstaves;
- 3 Castigators – support troops who lay down withering ranged attacks with their thunderhead greatbows;
- 5 Sequitors – frontline infantry who bring the fight to the fore with stormsmite mauls and stormshields;
- A Celestar Ballista – an enormous heavy bolt thrower, serviced by 2
Sacristan Engineers who defend their war machine with sigmarite blades.
Nighthaunt
Nagash’s seemingly-endless hordes of risen undead, bitter and lethal
toward all who still possess the gift of life. Each of the 20 Nighthaunt
miniatures in the box is an Easy to Build push-fit model, supplied on
turquoise plastic sprues and requiring no glue to assemble:
- A Lord-Executioner – a horrifying gheist whose image is dominated by
the macabre gallows lashed to his back, he carries a decapitating
greataxe;
- 4 Grimghast Reapers – cursed, indiscriminate killers armed with
double-handed slasher scythes – their leader, the Extoller of Shyish,
carries a great bell known as the death knell;
- 5 Glaivewraith Stalkers: unstoppable gheists drifting inexorably
towards their prey, each attacks with a 2-handed hunter’s glaive;
- A 10-strong Chainrasp Horde: each armed with a malignant weapon –
axes, swords, and flails feature heavily here – this frightening force
is led by a Dreadwarden, who wields a 3-pronged candelabra.

Nighthaunt miniatures clipped from their sprues, cleaned up and painted,
