Tornus the Redeemed stands as a powerful symbol of redemption within the ranks of the Stormcast Eternals, having transformed from a corrupted tyrant into a shining beacon of hope for his fallen kin. His tale speaks to Sigmar’s unwavering commitment to redeeming even those who have fallen deep into the clutches of Chaos.
Once known as Tornus the Everdawn, a noble warrior of Ghyran, Tornus was captured by Nurgle’s forces during the Realmgate Wars and endured 77 days in the festering Pit of Filth. This ordeal twisted his body and soul, and he was reborn as Torglug the Despised, a brutal warlord leading devastating campaigns against the forces of Alarielle and Sigmar. It wasn’t until the Celestant-Prime struck him down with the legendary Ghal Maraz that the divine energy of Sigmar’s hammer purged the corruption from Tornus’ soul. Restored to his former self, Tornus vowed to dedicate his life to destroying Chaos, joining the Stormcast Eternals as a redeemed Knight-Venator.
After countless battles and many cycles of Reforging, Tornus has ascended to the rank of Knight-Azyros, becoming a Herald of Redemption in the Ruination Chamber. His presence inspires his fellow Stormcast warriors, particularly those like him who have been redeemed from the clutches of Chaos. In battle, Tornus leads his allies with the light of Sigmar’s divine lantern, an artefact capable of blinding enemies and healing allies alike.
As part of his unique abilities, Tornus can create additional rally points for his fellow warriors, bolstering their resolve when he uses the Rally command. He leads his retinue with a focused determination, always pushing forward with a relentless pursuit of redemption and vengeance against the dark gods.
The Knights-Azyros like Tornus, with their radiant lanterns and rippling wings of azure flame, are heralds of hope for the Stormcast Eternals. They embody Sigmar’s watchful gaze, reminding all that the God-King’s vision is unyielding and omnipresent. Their strategic brilliance allows them to lead units like the Prosecutors in swift strikes and retreats, ensuring their forces can reposition without suffering reprisals from the enemy.
Tornus and his fellow Knights-Azyros can also join forces with Iridan the Witness in the Army of Renown, known for their soul-scoured resilience and unwavering commitment to defeating Chaos. Tornus, alongside Iridan, represents the strength of those who have endured the most grueling trials and emerged victorious—embodying Sigmar’s eternal crusade to reclaim the Mortal Realms.
Tornus the Redeemed, who can also be built as a standard Knight-Azyros, will be available for pre-order, alongside the Battletome: Stormcast Eternals, offering both lore enthusiasts and tabletop commanders a potent new addition to their armies.
