FORCES OF THE MORTAL REALMS

The armies and factions vying for control of the Mortal Realms represent the four Grand Alliances of Order, Death, Chaos, and Destruction. Read about each faction, a few of the types of warriors available to them, and their place in the Warhammer Age of Sigmar story below.

    •      
      AoS Icons Cities of Sigmar
      Cities of Sigmar

      As the Mortal Realms buckle and the lands are swallowed up by corruption, the fire of civilisation gutters and dwindles away. Yet still Sigmar’s free cities shield that pale flame, their hard-bitten armies standing firm against filth and ruin. These brave but exhausted mortals lay down their lives to reclaim their ancestral homes.

      • Freeguild Cavalier-Marshal
      • Freeguild Steelhelms
      • Freeguild Cavaliers
      • Alchemite Warforger
    •      
      AoS Icons Daughters of Khaine
      Daughters of Khaine

      As they perform bloody sacrifices and spray gladiatorial arenas with the gore of their victims, it is easy to forget that the Daughters of Khaine are allies of Order. This violent cult of aelves lives and breathes the worship of Morathi-Khaine, the God of Murder incarnate. The battlefield is their church, and murder is their sacrament.

      • Krethusa the Croneseer
      • Melusai Ironscale
      • Doomfire Warlocks
      • Melusai Blood Stalkers
      • Witch Aelves
    •      
      AoS Icons Fyreslayers
      Fyreslayers

      The duardin known as Fyreslayers are the smouldering children of the dead god Grimnir. Each one has sacred runes hammered into their very flesh, strengthening their axe-blows with shards of divine power. They roam in search of ur-gold, that mythical substance said to contain the soul of their errant creator.

      • Auric Runesmiter on Magmadroth
      • Auric Flamekeeper
      • Grimhold Exile
      • Battlesmith
      • Vulkite Berzerkers
    •      
      AoS Icons Idoneth Deepkin
      Idoneth Deepkin

      As the tide swells and the moon is shrouded by mist, coastal townsfolk shiver uneasily in their dreams. For these are the portents of the Idoneth Deepkin, the most secretive of all the aelves. Their pallid hosts raid the shorelines, and beyond, in constant search for the mortal souls that sustain their kind.

      • Eidolon of Mathlann – Aspect of the Sea
      • Lotann, Warden of the Soul Ledgers
      • Akhelian Allopex
      • Ahkelian King
      • Namarti Thralls
    •      
      AoS Icons Kharadron Overlords
      Kharadron Overlords

      Descending from the clouds to smite their enemies, the Kharadron Overlords are heralded by fusillades of aethercannon shot and showers of fire. The day is all but won when their ironclad delegations arrive to reinforce their allies – but it always comes at a steep price, for these warriors are as shrewd as they are doughty.

      • Brokk Grungsson, Lord-Magnate of Barak-Nar
      • Grundstok Thunderers
      • Arkanaut Company
      • Arkanaut Ironclad
      • Codewright
    •      
      AoS Icons Lumineth Realm Lords
      Lumineth Realm-lords

      The Lumineth Realm-lords are the warrior-sages of the Realm of Light. Having dedicated centuries to achieving enlightenment and the reclamation of Hysh, they now travel further afield to save the rest of the realms from the Ruinous Powers. Their alliance with Hysh itself sees them fight alongside fantastical geomantic spirits.

      • Archmage Teclis and Celennar, Spirit of Hysh
      • Vanari Auralan Wardens
      • The Light of Eltharion
      • Scinari Cathallar
    •      
      AoS Icons Seraphon
      Seraphon

      Many are the legends surrounding the Seraphon. It is said that they have visited the Mortal Realms since time immemorial and that they ply the Aetheric Void in golden temple-ships full of unknowable technology. Staunch enemies of Chaos in all its forms, they often attack unpredictably – but unstoppably – in pursuit of a future only they know how to reach.

      • Skink Starseer
      • Stegadon
      • Kroxigor
      • Skinks
      • Chameleon Skink
    •      
      AoS Icons Stormcast Eternals
      Stormcast Eternals

      Descending from the heavens in great columns of lightning come the Stormcast Eternals, blazing onto battlefields across the Mortal Realms to hold back the forces of misrule. All are warriors of superhuman skill, taken from their former lives to serve as Sigmar’s undying champions in the long war against Chaos.

      • Lord-Vigilant on Gryph-stalker
      • Lord Terminos
      • Stormcast Liberator
      • Knight-Questor
      • Lord Veritant
    •      
      AoS Icons Sylvaneth
      Sylvaneth

      From the heart of the Realm of Life pulses a song of war. It reverberates through every tree, stream, and blade of grass, surging through veins of sap and into the bodies of the forests’ pale, gnarled-bark guardians. These fey creatures are the Sylvaneth, each one lovingly grown by their mother-goddess to defend the natural order.

      • Alarielle the Everqueen
      • Tree-Revenants
      • Belthanos, First Thorn of Kurnoth
      • Gossamid Archers
      • Drycha Hamadreth
