## Description
Warhammer Age of Sigmar: Thunder & Blood delivers chaos and celestial light to the table in a package that blends miniatures, rules, and painting guides into one box. The set features 44 easy‑to‑assemble miniatures split between Khorne’s brutal Bloodbound and the glorious Stormcast Eternals, all in red and gold plastic that already screams epic battle. Inside you’ll find two units of 5 Liberators, three units of 5 Prosecutors, three units of 5 Retributors, a Lord Relictor, two units of 10 Bloodreavers, five Blood Warriors, a Khorgorath, and a Bloodstoker, plus a miniature Khorgorath for that extra touch of terror. The 96‑page rulebook offers a step‑by‑step guide to building, painting, and playing: basic movement, dice rolling, magic, and attacks, with detailed notes that explain each phase. You also get four battle scenarios that scale from a handful of miniatures to a full‑scale war with all 44 figures, easing the transition to larger games. The warscrolls provide stats and abilities for each miniature, while the painting guides teach techniques like basecoating, shading, drybrushing, and glazing, including tips on creating evocative bases and using technical paints for blood and rust effects. The gameplay experience blends action, strategy, and a touch of miniature fun, perfect for those looking to dive into the Warhammer Age of Sigmar universe without buying a ton of pieces.
