Well, after last week’s climactic finish to the Quest for Ghal Maraz, Sigmar has his hammer back! That could only mean one thing… the Celestant-Prime could come out to play.

I must admit, I have been looking forward to this Battleplan ever since it appeared in White Dwarf (how can you go wrong with the Celestant-Prime versus a very angry Bloodthirster?), but I had made myself a little rule: I would not use the Celestant-Prime in our campaign at all, not until we had played through the recovery of Ghal Maraz.

So, it is only natural, as soon as the hammer was reclaimed, the Celestant-Prime would make an appearance!

The Story So Far
When Ghal Maraz was returned to Sigmar, the God-King was finally able to awaken the Celestant-Prime, the instrument of His Will who would take the hammer and use it to smack the Chaos out of people all over the Mortal Realms.

One of the Celestant-Prime’s earliest battles took place on the plateau atop Anvil Mountain in Chamon, the Realm of Metal. The dread Bloodthirster Khrul’Sath the Slaughterer had been leading its daemonic and mortal forces with great success against the Stormcast, determined to prevail where the feckless forces of Tzeentch had fallen.

This was set to be a titanic confrontation of Bloodthirster versus Celestant-Prime, of unfettered fury versus Sigmar’s finest…

Good battle, I seriously thought the Khorne forces had it in the bag for a second! Being able to chill in the sky really makes up for the lack of wounds the Prime has, especially when his killing power goes up when he does.
