To start, a teensy bit of Warhammer lore is needed. Before we go further, let’s cover off just how many armies there are to choose from… AGE OF SIGMAR ARMIES Don’t let yourself paint your fiftieth grot before realising the Orruk Warclans aren’t for you. Go for an army that plays in a way you’ll enjoy, but also has a killer aesthetic you dig. When choosing an army in Age of Sigmar, it’s important to pick one that will provide longevity of entertainment. While none is better than the rest (whatever anyone tells you in impassioned rants that use the word ‘meta’ a lot), it’s worth your time to grasp what each army provides and consider whether you’d enjoy leaning into its playstyle. Some armies focus on fielding few, elite units that soak up damage and dish out fatal blows others lean into sorcery to disrupt opponents and buff their own ranks, while more are purely melee-focused and crave the chaos of battle – and yet others are malleable to a host of options. Of course, there’s each faction’s lore – the stories and mythologies that cement their place in the Age of Sigmar – and no one could ignore the enormous variety of miniatures between each. Introducing the 20-odd armies warring for domination of the Mortal Realms, this guide features digestible summaries of each army’s most interesting features and possible attractions to the budding player or collector, and handily distils – for your delectation – their overall schtick, both in the lore and on the tabletop. You might be enamoured with a couple and dive further into their army specifics – or conclude which factions are definitely not your thing, swearing never to gaze upon their sprues again.īefore diving in, it’s useful to know what to consider when picking an army. Well, banish your fears to the fourteen winds: we’ll walk you through everything you need to know. Amongst all the sigmarite plate armour, elemental sorcery, and questionable tentacular appendages, it’s easy to feel lost – unsure of where to begin or which army you might like to collect. They’re numerous and large, and the fact that many avoid, or splice together, typical fantasy tropes, can make them that much harder to quickly pick up. Set against a dense fantasy world that stretches across aeons and contains an overflowing cast of characters, it can be hard work getting to grips with the armies of Warhammer Age of Sigmar.
