Incoming: Storm of Magic
Storm of Magic - when the eight winds howl...

The Winds of Magic are tumultuous. Drawn by Morrslieb, they are prone to rise from a strong gale into a howling tempest. And when they do no kingdom or realm is safe.

Monsters awaken from their slumber and are summoned from their lairs at the bidding of sorcerous masters. Armies assemble, ready to defend their borders or seize the opportunity to gain limitless power. It is in these desperate times tenuous pacts between wizards and creatures of darkness are sealed to create alliances never thought possible.

A time of doom and great deeds is at hand. Will you rise to meet the storm?

Announcing the impending arrival of Storm of Magic, the latest and largest Expansion for Warhammer, the Game of Fantasy Battles. Launched in July 2011, Storm of Magic describes what happens when great eldritch maelstroms roil across the lands. Magic becomes far more powerful and there is a whole range of Cataclysm spells to cast, unleashing untold devastation on the enemy. Arcane Fulcrums burst from the ground, not only acting as loci for the swirling energies that pervade a battle fought amidst the Storm of Magic, but changing the way a Warhammer tabletop looks and interacts with your armies. With such things so crucial to your Storm of Magic games a new range of Warhammer scenery and Wizards will soon be released in time for you to wage cataclysmic battles.

Then there are the monsters. When the Winds of Magic blow with such strength, the fell creatures of the world gravitate towards the tempest, slithering from deep tunnels or emerging from mountain lairs.

With the new Expansion allowing you to use so many different creatures there are a whole host of new monstrous plastic kits on their way. Citadel's queen of creatures, Trish Carden, has spent the last few years in her own lair preparing for the new monsters to be unleashed upon the world and you can see two brief glimpses of what is to come below:

OK, como esta área tem andado muito morta decidi tentar reanimá-la com um mega post sobre a Storm of Magic e os novos lançamentos.

Citação :

When someone says 'Warhammer' you think of huge, city-conquering armies, powerful magic raining down from the sky and titanic monsters stomping, smashing and pulverising everything in their path. We already have the first one in the bag - Warhammer is bigger and meaner than it's ever been before, and now we've got the others, too! Storm of Magic is everything we've been waiting for - the opportunity to field wizards galore and tear open the world with magical energy, to summon huge (massive, towering, gigantic) monsters that will make your opponents quiver in fear at the sight of them.

There's a fantastic collection of spells and monsters in this book, from the old to the new. Who thought we'd ever see Zoats again, or the Fimir? And who could forget Assault of Stone, where the wizard can literally re-shape the battlefield around him? There are new spells for all races and even the Dwarfs get to join in with special Ancestor Runes that really are as potent as they sound.

Not only do you have access to new units and spells, but the dynamic of the game is very different too, making for battles that can be intense, diverse, terrifying and, more-often-than-not, downright hilarious (being turned into a frog can really put a crimp in your day). Storm of Magic will revolutionise the way you play Warhammer - using magic will never be the same again.

Para já tenho a dizer que me agrada a temática desta expansão: a magia!

Foi algo que nunca pegou em 40k, se bem que tenham tentado, eram os chamados "poderes psíquicos"

A seguir o número de novos lançamentos é brutal: entre livros, minis, terreno e outros são 12 novidades

E gosto de todas a minis novas! É que, para mim, são todas fixes (talvez a chimera e a galinha não sejam fantásticas mas pronto... tou a tentar captar a vossa vontade de jogar fantasy )

O Livro de regras da expansão

Citação :

Storms of magic are cataclysmic events that unleash terrible and all-powerful arcane energies, unbridled power that allows wizards to shackle titanic beasts to their dominion, or deny their enemies mystical forces that could destroy whole nations in one calamitous spell.

Storm of Magic is the first Expansion for Warhammer, the Game of Fantasy Battles. It's a 152-page, full-colour, hardback book with an integrated spinner in the inside front cover that just oozes with magical charm.

There's a staggering amount of background and history on magical storms, plus a full set of rules so that you can play a Storm of Magic battle using your armies. Within these hallowed pages you will find 64 of the most destructive spells and cantrips in the Warhammer world, and 45 Scrolls of Binding with which you can summon all manner of deadly monsters. There's even a whole section dedicated to sorcerous pacts, which you can use to call upon the power of Daemons and the Undead to aid you on the battlefield.

Eis um produto completamente dispensável mas bonito. Vá lá, admitam que é giro...

Citação :

In Storm of Magic battles there are plenty more spells for you to cast with your wizards; so many, in fact, that we've created a set of cards to help you remember them all. This set contains a card for each of the Cataclysm Spells, Cantrips and Ancestor Runes that can be used in a Storm of Magic game. The 64 cards come presented in a plastic spellbook box with enough space to include your race-specific cards as well (because magic cards like to be kept safe), it's almost like we planned it!

This set contains 64 Storm of Magic cards and one plastic spellbook box to keep them safe from prowling monsters and clumsy wizards.

Agora os modelos!

1º os mais feinhos para ir ficando melhor para o fim

Citação :

The Cockatrice is an unsettling and repulsive creature that reeks of Chaos. While they are not as physically fearsome as many other monsters, they have the curious ability to petrify their foes with a magical gaze, literally turning them to stone with a glance unless they can evade its sorcerous stare. This ability makes the Cockatrice a deadly opponent, for a warrior must try to vanquish the beast without ever setting eyes upon it.

This boxed set contains one Cockatrice - a finely detailed resin cast kit that comes in seven components, and is supplied with a 50mm square base. This miniature is supplied unpainted and requires assembly - we recommend using Citadel Super Glue and Citadel Paints.

O mau - é uma galinha do mal e é de resina
o bom - é uma galinha do mal, já imaginaram as possibilidades de gozar com alguém que perca contra uma galinha gigante assassina carnivora?

Citação :

The three-headed Chimera is one of the most fearsome of all the children of Chaos, a beast whose progenitors were so warped that it is now impossible to say what manner of creatures they might have been. Regardless of their exact form, all Chimerae share a savage and unpredictable nature that makes them easily the worst of all chance encounters. Due to their varied ancestry, Chimerae come in many shapes and forms, manifesting unusual attacks that can catch an enemy off guard. Whether they die by fiery breath or poisonous claw, it's unlikely that an enemy will get to appreciate these subtle differences before they are torn limb from limb, crushed alive, or burnt to a crisp by the rampaging monster in front of them.

This multi-part plastic kit contains one Chimera - a finely detailed kit that comes in 23 components, and is supplied with a 50x100mm base. This miniature is supplied unpainted and requires assembly - we recommend using Citadel Plastic Glue and Citadel Paints.

A chimera: haverá algum animal mais emblemático do ambiente de fantasia?
o mau - não acho o modelo especialmente bem conseguido
o bom - é de plástico!

Citação :

Even for creatures of Chaos, Manticores are particularly ferocious, possessed of an innate stubbornness that propels them to fight for their territory against even the most overpowering odds. No matter what their adversary, the Manticore will launch itself roaring into a bloody and brutal conflict from which there can be only a single victor. More often than not, providing their foe isn't too much bigger than them, it's the Manticore that will stand triumphant. Such wild, animalistic rage does not go unnoticed in the Chaos Wastes. Champions of the Dark Gods will often travel to the Iron Mountains to capture and tame a Manticore, which they will then ride into battle. How long the Manticore will tolerate this treatment for is debatable, but one thing is for certain, when they are finally free, their fury will be unstoppable.

This multi-part plastic kit contains one Chaos Lord on Manticore - a finely detailed kit that comes in 62 components, and is supplied with a 50x100mm base. The kit comes with plenty of optional extras, including two different riders - a Chaos Lord and a Chaos Sorceror Lord, both of which come with a variety of heads and weapons. This miniature is supplied unpainted and requires assembly - we recommend using Citadel Plastic Glue and Citadel Paints.

Pode ser construido sem rider para quem só quiser o monstro. É de plástico.

Citação :

Dragons are an incredibly ancient race whose forefathers lived many thousands of years before even the Elves set foot in the Old World. Although few in number, Dragons are still creatures of vast power and when they are roused from their slumber they are capable of slaughtering entire armies with wickedly sharp claws, horns and fangs. The Black Dragons are, without exception, foul-tempered and aggressive creatures. Flying low over the battlefield, a Black Dragon can launch plumes of noxious gas from its maw, leaving their foes gasping for breath, their lungs ruined and their skin burnt by corrosive acids. The riders of these gigantic beasts, the Dreadlords and Sorceresses of Naggaroth, take great pleasure in the carnage that their mounts cause and will gladly steer them into the most brutal and bloody combats so that they can join in the wholesale slaughter of their enemies.

This multi-part plastic kit contains one Dark Elf Dreadlord on Black Dragon - a finely detailed kit that comes in 82 components, and is supplied with a 50x100mm base. The kit comes with plenty of optional extras, including two different Dragon heads and two different riders - a Dark Elf Sorceress and a Dark Elf Dreadlord, both of which come with a variety of heads and weapons. This miniature is supplied unpainted and requires assembly - we recommend using Citadel Plastic Glue and Citadel Paints.

Tal como o anterior é completamente de plástico e tem opção de construir lord de combate ou feitiços ou só o monstro sem cavaleiro. O lord parece o Malekith...

Citação :

Necromancers are widely regarded as twisted and corrupt individuals who are obsessed with death and the avoidance of it at all costs. They are used (for they are rarely their own master) by Vampires to animate the broken corpses of their servants and return them to battle. To learn such dark magic, these desperate men will seek out a Necromancer or a Vampire to teach them, though this task is not without its own dangers and many aspirants have found themselves dying a grim death at the hands (or fangs) of their would-be tutor. Those that do survive invariably become powerful spell-casters, though their sanity is forever broken by the horrors they have witnessed.

This plastic kit contains one Vampire Counts Necromancer - a finely detailed kit that comes in six components including a fully detailed 20mm square base. This miniature is supplied unpainted and requires assembly - we recommend using Citadel Plastic Glue and Citadel Paints.

Miniatura completamente em plástico, vide imagem abaixo.

Vejam quão simples é e quão fixe é! Fenomenal. A base até já vem com detalhe e tudo.

Citação :

Elves are magical beings with a natural affinity for guiding and channelling the shifting winds of magic that stream from the Realm of Chaos. Unlike their kindred in Ulthuan and Athel Loren, Dark Elf Sorceresses do not fear the corrupting power of Chaos and they use their sorcery - the unrefined power of magic - to cast such destructive spells that entire armies have fled before their might. Chief amongst these powerful wizards are the Sorceresses of the Dark Covenant, who learn some of the most devastating spells in the world. They can call upon ancient daemonic entities to devour their enemies, hurl storms of wicked shards at their foes or engulf them with bolts of dark energy.

This plastic kit contains one Dark Elf Sorceress - a finely detailed kit that comes in seven components including a fully detailed 20mm square base. This miniature is supplied unpainted and requires assembly - we recommend using Citadel Plastic Glue and Citadel Paints.

Sexy!

Deixei os meus favoritos para o final - Sorcerers of CHAOS!

Citação :

Chaos Sorcerers wield the wild energies of Chaos itself, reshaping reality to better serve the whims of their dark masters. They are amongst the most awful and depraved of all servants of Chaos, for they long ago sold their souls in exchange for the heady elixir of pure power. A word and a gesture from a Chaos Sorcerer can strip a man's flesh from his bones or cause a regiment to burst into flame, such is the power at their fingertips. So corrupt have they become that mere mortals simply break down at the sight of such a powerful magic user, their minds and souls assaulted by the raw energy of Chaos that surrounds them. Other wizards know that Chaos will eventually consume these insane warrior-mages, but until that time, their power and skill will grow exponentially.

This plastic kit contains one Warriors of Chaos Sorcerer Lord - a finely detailed kit that comes in six components including a fully detailed 25mm square base. This miniature is supplied unpainted and requires assembly - we recommend using Citadel Plastic Glue and Citadel Paints.

E de longe a melhor mini desta expansão!!! -> Tzeentch Sorcerer Lord

Citação :

Chaos Sorcerers wield the wild energies of Chaos itself, reshaping reality to better serve the whims of their dark masters. They are amongst the most awful and depraved of all servants of Chaos, for they long ago sold their souls in exchange for the heady elixir of pure power. A word and a gesture from a Chaos Sorcerer can strip a man's flesh from his bones or cause a regiment to burst into flame, such is the power at their fingertips. Of the four Chaos Gods, Tzeentch is the true lord of magic and his Sorcerers are amongst the most malicious and depraved. Where other spell-casters may rely on pyrotechnic displays to assail their foes, the Sorcerers of Tzeentch take a no-nonsense approach to their magical performances, preferring to confound and confuse their enemies into attacking each other or, rather more simply, open a vortex into nothingness and make them disappear. Simple but effective.

This plastic kit contains one Warriors of Chaos Tzeentch Sorcerer Lord - a finely detailed kit that comes in eight components including a fully detailed 25mm square base. This miniature is supplied unpainted and requires assembly - we recommend using Citadel Plastic Glue and Citadel Paints.

e agora cenário:

Ficam bastante bem com o temple of skulls e as arcane ruins que já tenho.

Citação :

For the wizards of the Warhammer world, Arcane Fulcrums are terrible, complex and eldritch monoliths whose nature and function have puzzled the finest minds for millennia. What every wizard does know is that Arcane Fulcrums are the key to true magical domination and that spells cast from them can have cataclysmic consequences. It is those wizards with the greatest ambition that tackle an Arcane Fulcrum, though their bravery (perhaps insanity) is rewarded with almost unlimited power over the Winds of Magic.

Magewrath Throne and Balewind Vortex

Dreadfire Portal and Eternity Stair


Espero que este post anime um bocado a malta para jogas de warhammer.

Um abraço a todos,

Ah e a GW tem-se esforçado imenso (ao que me parece) para ter uma imagem em Fantasia bastante apelativa, lembro o lancamento anterior dos dados e afins, este livro de magias, também está bem legal.

Épa, que grandes miniaturas!!!! Este verão a ver se faço alguns jogos!
