Playstyle

Thrown axes that return — an early-wave clearer that scales well once evolved; the Whirlwind Axes are named on the store page as one of the showcase weapons. Age of Sigmar’s demo stage was tuned harder at first; Auroch fixed Skaven chest drop rates in a June hotfix after players found the universe “a little too punishing”.

FAQ

Is Neave Blacktalon the only Stormcast?

The only one announced so far. The Age of Sigmar roster also includes Fyreslayers (Ulgromthier), a Saviour of Cinderfall (Lyssa), Gotrek and others.

Is it Sabaton or Boot?

One chart says Sabaton, the other Boot — likely the same item. We'll settle it at launch.
