Sigmar’s forces have some impressive new tools in their arsenal, and it’s not just the Ruination chambers that are taking center stage during the Hour of Ruin. While these chambers are definitely key to Sigmar’s strategy, the Warrior and Vanguard chambers are stepping up in a big way, with Stormstrike Palladors and Stormreach Portals changing the battlefield dynamics.
Warrior Chamber – Liberators in Thunderstrike Armor
First, let’s talk about the Liberators. Now decked out in sleek Thunderstrike armor, courtesy of Grungni, these front-line warriors are holding the line while their more specialized comrades bring the pain. With their updated gear, the Liberators are crucial in battles, especially when paired with Reclusians and Prosecutors who are ready to unleash some righteous fury.
Stormstrike Palladors – Lightning Cavalry
The Stormstrike Palladors are where things get really interesting. These guys are seconded from the Vanguard chamber, riding into battle on Gryph-chargers, and let me tell you, these mounts are no joke. They ride the winds Aetheric, meaning they can flank the enemy with deadly precision. Though their heavy barding slightly hampers their movement, their charges are absolutely devastating. Imagine an electrified sledgehammer of golden armor crashing into your lines—these Palladors are Riders of Vengeance who thrive when the fight’s at its most intense.
What’s really cool about them is their ability to reroll charges and gain Strike-First after one of your Warrior Chamber units goes down. So, these guys are perfect for swooping in to deliver a decisive blow when the battle hits its peak.
Stormreach Portals – Tactical Reinforcements
When Sigmar’s forces are locked in lengthy campaigns, they bring along Stormreach Portals. These prefabricated structures, connected to the Star Bridges network, allow warriors to “Step into the Storm” and reappear elsewhere on the battlefield. These portals are incredibly useful for quickly redeploying forces, turning what might seem like a retreat into a blistering feint that can catch your enemies completely off guard.
New Additions to the Stormhost
Both the Stormstrike Palladors and Stormreach Portals will soon be available for your Stormhosts. These additions offer fresh tactics and bolster your forces, especially when added alongside the regular Warrior Chamber units. And don’t forget, these new models will be up for pre-order on Saturday. They’re shaping up to be must-haves for anyone who loves fast, hard-hitting cavalry and strategic battlefield movement.
Plus, we’ll be seeing more tomorrow when we dive into the Regiments of Renown from the new Battletome: Stormcast Eternals, which will be great reinforcements for any Order army. Get ready for some golden reinforcements!
