Dominion

The Soul Wars are over, but a new conflict brews in the Realm of Beasts.
It is a time of great change in the Mortal Realms. A surge of life sweeps across the eight realms to force back the tide of death left in the Necroquake’s wake, and the forces of Order waste no time in laying claim to the newly rejuvenated land. But with Kragnos, god of Destruction, released from his prison and leading a vengeful rampage across Ghur, the Stormcast Eternals must fight their toughest battles yet to safeguard the pioneering Dawnbringer Crusades.
If you’re looking to plunge headfirst into the new edition of Warhammer Age of Sigmar, look no further than this glorious boxed set. Warhammer Age of Sigmar: Dominion comes complete with two powerful armies, pitting the reforged Stormcast Eternals against the emerging threat of the Kruleboyz – cunning and deadly orruks native to the swamps of Ghur. The set also includes a Dominion-exclusive version of the Warhammer Age of Sigmar Core Book, which provides extensive background information on the game’s fantastical setting as well as a full set of rules for playing thrilling games with your Citadel miniatures.
This boxed set includes:

60x Plastic Push-fit Citadel Miniatures: At the heart of the Dominion set are two armies of brand new miniatures, each cleverly designed so they can be pushed together without the need for glue. Each force includes a flexible range of powerful units armed with devastating weaponry and wargear, and they can easily be bolstered with additional reinforcements to act as the elite core of a larger army. These models include:

– 1x Lord-Imperatant with 1x Gryph-hound: Lord-Imperatants are amongst the greatest of Sigmar’s strategists.

Realmscape: Ghurish Expanse

The Era of the Beast sees armies clash across all manner of terrain, from fetid bogs and ancient ruins to wind-blasted plains and snow-capped mountains. The nigh-endless expanses of the Mortal Realms play host to constant warfare, and no two battlefields are ever alike. As surely as there are men and monsters to fight, the forces of Order, Chaos, Death, and Destruction will find new corners of the world to soak in each others’ blood.
Begin your adventures upon the battlefields of Ghur with these double-sided, fold-out boards, featuring murky swamps on one side and dry wastelands on the other. When placed together, these boards make a battlefield measuring 44.8″ x 30″, perfect for 1,000-point games of Warhammer Age of Sigmar, and they are the ideal foundation for a wide range of Citadel scenery products. Due to the easily expandable rules available in the Warhammer Age of Sigmar Core Book, two or more sets of these boards can produce battlefields suitable for games of 2,000 points or more.
The boards are made of thick, durable card with reinforced folds to ensure excellent condition even after frequent use. Each board measures 22.4″ x 30″ and can be folded into eighths for easy storage in the included sleeve.

Realmscape Objective Set

Many of the Dawnbringer Crusades survived to establish new outposts for the forces of Order, with some eventually growing into settlements in their own right. Others, however, were soon overrun by the rampaging forces of Destruction, and so the realm of Ghur is littered with the ruined, forgotten remnants of a once-hopeful expedition. Future crusades sometimes come across these ruins and skirmish over the remains, seeking answers to the demise of their forebears or perhaps just hoping to recover their lost possessions.
Add thematic and highly detailed objectives to your games of Warhammer Age of Sigmar with the Realmscape Objective Set. Each of the six objective markers is beautifully sculpted to represent elements of a settlement set up by the Dawnbringer Crusades, with some looking pristine while others lie in a state of disrepair. The objectives can be used across any type of terrain you might have to hand, but are especially suited to battles set upon the Ghurish Expanse gaming boards.
The kit is comprised of 28 plastic components, with which you can assemble six objective markers, and is supplied with 3x Citadel 50mm Round Bases, 1x Citadel 75mm Oval Base, 1x Citadel 90mm Oval Base, and 1x Citadel 80mm Round Base.
