Tactical Conundrum: Manifestations solution

September 2025·p. 126

THE SHORT VERSION

The solution to the earlier manifestation puzzle compares bridge and boat approaches, noting the deployment and movement restrictions that make tempting shortcuts unreliable. It recommends using Shards of Valagharr to screen the home objective, moving the Soulmason with Lauchon and charging the Kavalos Deathriders into the Cavaliers to take the opposing objective. The explanation shows how control, positioning and damage must work together.

Editorial: Ten years in the Mortal Realms

Lyle Lowery reflects on watching Age of Sigmar grow from its first boxed set into a richly developed setting and game. The issue marks that tenth anniversary through a historical retrospective, the changing identity of the Stormcast Eternals, Grombrindal’s memories of the gods and a six-player battle fought across two realms.

Planet Warhammer

Helen Hickman’s birch- and cherry-blossom-inspired Kurnoth Hunters lead a reader gallery that also includes a knitted Warhammer jumper, a Blood Bowl team and a Carcharodons Predator. Letters celebrate a return to the hobby, children’s first painted models and a remarkably ambitious Angron base containing 2,740 skulls.

The Story So Far

Jordan condenses ten years of Mortal Realms history into a connected narrative, beginning with the formation of the realms, Sigmar’s discovery by Dracothion and the flawed alliance of the Age of Myth. The collapse into the Age of Chaos leads to Azyr’s isolation and the creation of the Stormcast Eternals, whose return begins the Realmgate Wars and the founding of new cities.
