Age of Sigmar – Stormcast Eternals Praetors
Let's continue on the Age of Sigmar coverage from the Stormbringer subscription with some more Stormcast Eternals. Today, we will be looking at the Praetors from issue 15, which are available as a regular kit in the Age of Sigmar range.
Depending on where you purchase them, you will either pay 10.99 EUR via Stormbringer or 44.00 EUR retail for a box of three.
But who are the Stormcast Eternal Praetors? They are elite bodyguards who are soul-bound to protect their commanders with unwavering loyalty and magical oaths. To become Praetors, Stormcast Eternals must have a profound soul connection with their commander, whether through shared adversity or family ties in their previous life. They are reforged as a unit using the highest arts of the dwarven god Grungni, which distributes the burden of reforging and strengthens their spiritual link. This connection can result in the Praetors resembling their commander and displaying unwavering devotion, sometimes at the cost of their individuality.
Age of Sigmar Warcry – Stormcast Eternals Lord Aquilor
The Stormbringer subscription included some impressive characters for Age of Sigmar, such as the Stormcast Eternals Lord Aquilor, who was delivered with issue #23 of Stormbringer.
Lord Aquilor is a character from the second edition of Age of Sigmar, released in 2017. A similar pose of a Lord-Arcanum on a Gryph-charger was included in the Soul Wars starter set. Games Workshop describes the Lord Aquilor as follows:
Commanders of the Vanguard Auxiliary Chambers, the Lord-Aquilors are masters of the hunt, tracking their foes across the Mortal Realms as they ride the winds aetheric. When the foe is cornered, the Lord-Aquilor will strike with their starbound blade, channelling their hatred of the enemies of Order into every blow as their Gryph-charger savages the opponent with beak and claws.
This multi-part plastic kit contains the parts necessary to assemble a Lord-Aquilor, mounted on a Gryph-charger and armed with a starbound blade, shock handaxe and heavy boltstorm pistol. He comes with a choice of bare or helmeted head, and a selection of accessories – a rope, grapple and bed roll – that can be used to decorate the Gryph-charger’s saddle. A magical astral compass can be attached to the pommel of his saddle.
Age of Sigmar – Krondys, Son of Dracothion and Karazai the Scarred
The Stormbringer subscription covered not only the weekly magazines, but also an optional premium upgrade. With the fourth shipment (issues 14 to 19), which included the first premium part of the subscription, you received the dual kit of Krondys, Son of Dracothion and Karazai the Scarred, two dragons from Age of Sigmar.
Dragons have always played a significant role in the World of Warhammer due to its high fantasy setting. This didn't change with the updated Warhammer Age of Sigmar brand. The boxed set features two variants of the Draconith dragons, an ancient dragon race in the Mortal Realms and the offspring of the cosmic dragon god Dracothion: the brothers Krondys, Son of Dracothion, and Karazai the Scarred. Krondys is renowned for his majestic presence, wisdom and mastery of celestial magic. He serves as one of the most powerful allies of the Stormcast Eternals and is a symbol of hope for the forces of Order. His brother, Karazai the Scarred, is marked by deep battle scars and is famous for his aggressive nature, martial prowess and unyielding courage on the battlefield. This makes him an inspirational and terrifying sight for both allies and enemies.
The RRP of the set is 135 EUR. If you pay an additional 2 EUR per issue (38 EUR until you get the first shipment) to access the premium upgrade within the subscription, you will receive this massive kit. It is spread across three large sprues and comes with a 160 mm round base.
Age of Sigmar – Realmscape Guardian Idol
The Realmscape Guardian Idol is part of the Realmscape terrain range and was included twice in the Stormbringer series by Hachette (issues 65 and 74).
The Guardian Idol was included in the Realmscape Expansion Set and the Age of Sigmar Extremis Starter Set alongside other terrain pieces such as the Realmscape Ruins and the Nexus Syphon.
Warhammer – The Big Summer Preview Show 2025 Part 2
Due to the size of the The Big Summer Preview Show we split our coverage into two parts, part 1 covered all the Sci-Fi topics on the Warhammer 40k and Horus Heresy, and in this one we're going to cover the Old World until the Age of Sigmar.
Just like in part 1, we're going to go through the announcements not in chronological order, but by gaming system.
Age of Sigmar Stormbringer Magazine 68 to 73
The penultimate delivery for Stormbringer arrived last week! Including the premium bonus content. Amazing as this subscription started last year in January and it was surely a long run.
In todays unboxing we're covering the issues 68 to 73, with miniatures, terrain and some paints, but more on that further below.
The overview on the issues so far can be found over here, along with the detailed unboxings of older shipments as well:
- Stormbringer issues 01 to 03
- Stormbringer issues 04 to 07
- Stormbringer issues 08 to 13
- Stormbringer issues 14 to 19
- Stormbringer issues 20 to 25
- Stormbringer issues 26 to 31
- Stormbringer issues 32 to 37
- Stormbringer issues 38 to 43
- Stormbringer issues 44 to 49
- Stormbringer issues 50 to 55
- Stormbringer issues 56 to 61

Age of Sigmar – Kruleboyz Swampcalla Shaman with Pot-grot
In issue 09 of the Stormbringer subscription, we get one of the first characters for the Kruleboyz, a Swampcalla Shaman with Pot-grot.
This miniature was initially released as part of the Age of Sigmar Dominion boxed set (the 3rd edition starter set from 2021), just like the Lord Imperarant, and now is available through the Stormbringer magazine for 10,99 EUR or from Games Workshop directly for 32,50 EUR.
Both miniatures fit inside a single sprue, and are currently the only regular sculpts for this unit on foot (the other one being the named character Gobsprakk on Killabeak, and Mugruk da Watcha, which was a 2022 event exclusive).
Age of Sigmar – Stormcast Eternals Gardus Steel Soul
We're doing smaller unboxings and reviews along the line of the Stormbringer subscription. Back in the shipment with issue 14 to 19, we got the 2021 Stormcast Eternal Character of Gardus Steel Soul.
The miniature as part of the magazine series is a proper steal, as the regular price is 34 EUR and it is currently more or less Mail-Order exclusive, so not much you can do about a discount. But at 10,99 EUR it is very solid.
Gardus Steel Soul is a Lord-Celestant of the Hallowed Knights Stormhost, and their silver and blue armours provide a bit of variation to the poster boys of the Hammers of Sigmar. The artwork you can see on the cover of the magazine comes from the Black Library novel Hallowed Knights: Black Pyramid.
Age of Sigmar Stormbringer Magazine 62 to 67
We are coming closer to the end! Last saturday the 12th of 14 Stormbringer shipments by Hachette arrived, containing the magazines 62 to 67, with a broad mixture of content.
The overview on the issues so far can be found over here, along with the detailed unboxings of older shipments as well:
- Stormbringer issues 01 to 03
- Stormbringer issues 04 to 07
- Stormbringer issues 08 to 13
- Stormbringer issues 14 to 19
- Stormbringer issues 20 to 25
- Stormbringer issues 26 to 31
- Stormbringer issues 32 to 37
- Stormbringer issues 38 to 43
- Stormbringer issues 44 to 49
- Stormbringer issues 50 to 55
- Stormbringer issues 56 to 61
Age of Sigmar – Realmscape Terrain
Part of the terrain items from the Stormbringer subscription (issue 55 to be exact) was a sprue of the Realmscape terrain from Age of Sigmar, in this case half of the Domicile Shell. This is meant to be part of the settlements, that the forces of order are building on new realms or reclaimed areas.
The sprues and other complementing pieces were used in various starter sets and expansions. This particular sprue came often with a variant B that would create a medium sized building in progress, along with two statues. We will see the statues in the Stormbringer subscription as well (in issue 65 and 74), but from my understand not the second wall sprue but another copy of this one in issue #69.
With this massive sprue, we can build an L or rather U-shaped ruin. It comes with quite some additional pieces to enhance the amount of detail and not just making it a flat ruin, but provide some depth. Casting is good, reasonable amount of detail and a lot of parts you can easily dry brush. The mould lines are present, but that is usually the case with the terrain due to the thickness of the parts.
