Of all Games Workshop’s many tabletop settings, Age of Sigmar has produced some of the most creative and dynamic miniatures in the company’s history. Warhammer Age of Sigmar is the flagship fantasy setting that replaced Games Workshop’s original gaming system, Warhammer Fantasy, and has grown into a vibrant and popular hobby.
The game is set in The Mortal Realms, which are physically separate worlds connected by portals known as Realmgates. Through these gates, the many varied armies in the setting battle for survival, domination, or pleasure. Some of the most ornate and impressive models of this setting are the various faction leaders, or warriors of great renown. While these are some of the most sought-after miniatures in Age of Sigmar, they are also some of the most expensive in the range.

Auric Runesmiter On Magmadroth
A Proud Fyreslayer War-Priest
Found all across the Mortal Realms, the Fyreslayers are a Duardin race of mercenaries and followers of the fallen god Grimnir. These fierce, tempestuous warriors seek the lost Ur-Gold of their deceased deity and will fight for any army that pays enough gold.
Auric Runesmiter on Magmadroth is the perfect centerpiece for a Fyreslayer army. The large, dragon-like Magmadroth carries a war-priest into battle and is a wonderfully detailed and dramatic model. This would make a great painting project for experienced painters looking for a challenge. Additionally, the set also builds an Auric Runeson or Auric Runefather, which can also be built on foot.

Lord Kroak
The Most Ancient And Powerful Of The Slann
Hailing from the celestial realm of Azyr, the Seraphon are a race of intelligent reptilians who are dedicated to battling the forces of Chaos. Led by the Slann Starmasters, powerful and ancient toad-like beings, the Seraphon are a hammer against the corrupting darkness.
The most ancient and powerful of all Slann is the relic priest, Lord Kroak, whose deathly, mummified appearance belies his enormous power. Sitting upon an ornate palanquin, this model is a must-have addition for any Seraphon collector. This character is the oldest wizard in the Mortal Realms and the closest link to the ancient Old Ones in the setting.

Akhelian Leviadon
A Perfect Centerpiece
Dwelling deep within the oceans of the Mortal Realms in their hidden Enclaves, the mysterious Idoneth Deepkin are a race of Aelves who are masters of sudden, swift raids. These cursed Aelven people must regularly harvest the souls of mortals to push back the ever-encroaching madness that afflicts their people.
The Akhelian Leviadon is one of the most detailed and dramatic models in the Deepkin range. Featuring a giant turtle-like creature with powerful fins and razor-sharp teeth, the Leviadon is ridden by the Ma’harr, the master of the reins. This is a stunning centerpiece miniature that is just as eye-catching on the tabletop as it is on a display shelf.

Eidolon Of Mathlann – Aspect Of The Sea
A Powerful Avatar Of Vengeance
The elusive Idoneth Deepkin are well-known for their lightning-fast raids and hidden underwater homes. However, they are not entirely safe from attacks by the many forces that roam the Mortal Realms. During the most dire situations, the Idoneth call upon the collective souls of their ancestors, stored in the enclave’s chorrileum, to bring forth an Eidolon of Mathlann. Taking the form of an ancient Aelven god, these beings represent the vengeful power of the ocean.
This beautifully designed model can be built as either the Aspect of the Sea or the Aspect of the Storm, with the Eidolon’s long, water-like cloak drawing the eye. This would make an excellent display model and pose a fun painting challenge for experienced hobbyists.

Arkanaut Ironclad
An Impenetrable Floating Fortress
Few factions in the Age of Sigmar setting are as technologically advanced as the Kharadron Overlords. These Duardin warriors are highly militaristic, relying on their secular scientific advancements to control the skies over the Mortal Realms.
For hobbyists looking to build a Kharadron army, the Arkanaut Ironclad is a must-have addition. As the heaviest of the Kharadron airships, this huge floating fortress provides devastating destructive power, as it rains down armor-piercing torpedoes on unlucky foes. Hugely detailed, with a selection of optional paraphernalia, this miniature makes for a fun project that will look great on the display shelf.

Tahlia Vedra, Lioness Of The Parch
The Hero Of The Cities Of Sigmar
The first Marshal of the Hammerhal Aqsha, Tahlia Vedra, is a legendary leader and tactical mastermind among the Cities of Sigmar, also known as the Free Cities. Known as the Lioness of the Parch, she rides into battle upon her mount, the manticore Infernadine.
This highly detailed and dramatic model is an eye-catching centerpiece for a Cities of Sigmar army. With the manticore posed in a furious roar, and with Tahlia sitting upon an ornate saddle, this miniature is another great example of Age of Sigmar’s continued quality. Tahlia can also be armed with various weapon options and adorned with either a full-face helmet or her crown of office.

Morathi-Khaine And The Shadow Queen
The Leader Of The Daughters Of Khaine
The Daughters of Khaine are an Aelf faction who worship the god of murder and war, Khaine. While their deity was shattered during the End Times of the World-That-Was, these bloodthirsty warriors fight in the hope their god will one day return to power.
This fantastic set depicts the faction leader, Morathi-Khaine, and offers two options for the character. The High Oracle of Khaine is a smaller miniature, with stunning ornate armor. Meanwhile, the horrifying Shadow Queen miniature depicts Morathi in her monstrous true form and is three times larger than its counterpart. This larger miniature evokes the classic monster of legend, Medusa, and is a brilliant centerpiece for the collection.

Alarielle The Everqueen
The Goddess Of Life And Nature
Alarielle is an ancient and powerful deity of nature and life, and the creator of the Sylvaneth, who has returned to her former might to battle the corrupting forces of Chaos throughout the Mortal Realms.
The Sylvaneth are a race of humanoid tree spirits that have spread from their home in the Realm of Life to the rest of the Mortal Realms. For Age of Sigmar collectors looking to complete their Sylvaneth army, Alarielle the Everqueen is a must-have centerpiece. Riding on her colossal Wardroth Beetle, this model is highly detailed and dynamic, and makes for a challenging and worthwhile painting project.

Lord-Celestant On Stardrake
A Heroic Miniature
The Stormcast Eternals are the God-King Sigmar’s frontline against the forces of Chaos. Each one is a human soul forged into a near-immortal superhuman warrior. Once defeated, each Eternal is then reforged anew by Sigmar. However, this process is far from perfect, with each individual losing a piece of themselves through the process.
The Lord-Celestants are hand-picked warriors of exceptional skill and character, who are tasked with leading the Stormhost Chambers into battle. This large model depicts a Lord-Celestant atop a winged Stardrake, who leads the most elite Stormhost forces of the Extremis Chamber. This dramatic miniature is highly detailed and a challenge for any painter. It also comes with an additional Drakesworn Templar.

Archmage Teclis And Celennar, Spirit Of Hysh
An Icon Of The Age Of Sigmar
During the end times of the World-That-Was, the Chaos god Slaanesh consumed the souls of the Aelven races. While many of these were recovered and reshaped by the deities of the Aelves, the purest of these are the Lumineth Realm-Lords, whose magic, power, and advanced culture are focused on ending the threat of Chaos in the Mortal Realms.
This stunning model depicts Teclis, the leader of the Lumineth Realm-Lords and one of the surviving deities from the World-That-Was. This stunning model is one of the most original and iconic in the Age of Sigmar range and depicts the Archmage together with the lunasphinx, Celennar. This miniature is great for an advanced painting project, and it is the ultimate collector’s piece for fans of the fantasy setting.
