The new white dwarf for storm magic is available for observation at local Games Workshop stores.

While their are little snippets of information everywhere, it can over whelming. This will be a list of things we know that will be released on July 9th, when the book is released.

(This will be updated daily with information that people find and post, pictures and all)


List of Cataclysmic Spells

The Storm of Magic rulebook contains 65 brand-new spells for your wizards to cast. There are three Cantrips, which allow wizards to engage in magical duels across the battlefield and unbind enemy monsters. Each lore of magic (including the race-specific ones) now includes several terrifying new spells. Known as Cataclysm spells, they really are as apocalyptic as their name suggests, and there are 59 of them! Click below to find out what your wizards can do in the Storm of Magic.

One spell causes a 'titanic' earthquake and allows you to complete shift two relam of battle board tiles on the field with troops terrain and all in any facing(s) or direction you would like. (think maybe shadow, but don't know for sure)

One spell like I menitoned can create illusionary terrain. (Shadow)

Another can move terrain. (don't know)

Yet, another can create forests like Blood etc. . . or your choice (Life)

4D6 Fireball, and one that can end in large-blast template(s)

Can make a unit ethereal.

Tzeentch specific spell, does 3d6 str and 2d6 hits while acting like the spell that eats entire units

One spell causes a 'titanic' earthquake and allows you to complete shift two relam of battle board tiles on the field with troops terrain and all in any facing(s) or direction you would like.


List of Mythic Artifacts


40 Monsters and units available for summoning

- Armies can spend points on using models from other armies. For example dwarf players can summon high elf great eagles to use and vampire players can summon blood letters to use.
- Lammasu
- Great Taurus
(no riders)

The Storm of Magic rulebook has rules for 45 monsters and every Warhammer army can use every one of them. Yes, that's right - you can use any of them! So if you want a Chimera fighting alongside your High Elves; then get your wizard to magic one up. If you're a Skaven player and you like the idea of a Manticore munching your opponent's units, then summon one to the battle and watch the carnage.

Each bound monster (or herd of monsters depending on what you summon) has its own unique rules and abilities. This gives you, the monster-summoner, the opportunity to find just the right creature for the job. A large Dragon with a bad attitude can be a very useful ally when it comes to smashing up a rival army.

In the interview with the sculptor of the new monsters, she says how she could have never done the pose of the current plastic high elf dragon in metal. Ha! I had a high elf army back in the early 90's, and Citadel did indeed have a metal dragon posed leaping off of a rock, wings swept back like that one. The only difference is that the plastic one is bulkier, but that's how it goes with plastic miniatures. Just compare a rogue trader metal space marine with a new plastic one.

Found a couple pages that are in progress on GW's site. Not sure if these came up before.

Razumov's Tomb:
As the Chaos moon of Morrslieb veers wildly off course, the Old World is wracked by a series of bizarre plagues. From a lofty spire of the Celestial College, the Empire's Grand Astromancer, Caspar Vyborg, scours the heavens for an explanation, seeking guidance in the stars. But as the Empire sinks further into madness and violence, his order is forced to search stranger places than the night sky - the investigation leads them to the grave of a long-dead sorcerer named Razumov and an ancient, half-remembered prophecy. Caspar decides that his only hope is to complete the dark rituals that killed Razumov centuries earlier, but as Morrslieb waxes full and ferocious magical storms begin to tear the very fabric of reality, Caspar learns the true, terrible nature of Razumov's tomb.

If that happens, then the End Times will truly be upon us!

Looking forward to seeing the Chaos Lord on Manticore. Was gonna convert one a while back, but this seems a lot more appealing.

I hope the Lamassu and Great Taurus come with Finecast Chaos Dwarf riders!

Nope.

So July 9th all this is out. Right in time for my B-day!!

Wait, they're making Zoats again?

And Fimir- it sort of seems like they are emptying out every possible creature on this one.

Where does it say their making Zoats and Fimir again, am I missing something?

Also NOOOO!!! I really wanted a finecast Chaos Dwarf on my Lammasu

Still their bringing back the Lammasu, Fenbeast, Truthsyaer, Dark Emmisary, Greater Taurus and apparently Zoats and Fimir, I couldn't be happier with this (unless the prices were lower)

I posted it in the central SoM thread. Was mentioned in WD July. Where you can also see the Lammasu and taurus without riders.

A Bretonnian Pegasus Knight is a monster useable in any player's army? Really?

Looking for those with the new white dwarf to post details. Spell names, artifact names, and etc.

The "titanic" Earthquake spell that flip flops 2 Realm of Battle tiles... kinda means you should HAVE the RoB board.. gee GW .. thank you. Guess my 4x6 solid board needs a power saw, hmmm?

If you spend around 200 USD on the new toys then whats a mere 50 for a battle board?

Realm of Battle Board here is about $300 US...

The fact the RoB SUCKS and nothing ever stays upright on the bloody hills.

Also - Why are there skulls underneath the crapping earth in big piles?

I hate that RoB board with a passion. Nothing like making your own proper board IMO.

There are skulls underneath because the battle takes place over a rich vein of skulldanium.

Duh.
