T
he death throes of a world gave rise to the Mortal Realms. Magic
clashed with the fearsome power of creation, and strange new lands
were birthed, each home to both gods and men. In his arrogance,
Sigmar claimed dominion over these realms. By his will, glittering empires
rose across the lands and mortals and deities alike bowed before his
lofty throne. For a time the God-King allowed himself to believe that his
ancient foes, the Chaos Gods, had finally b een defeated.
But as long as d ark ne ss dwells in the he ar t s of mor t a l s , t hes e primordial
b eings exist eter na l ly, and slowly t heir i n flu e n c e s e ep e d into the realms.
The way was first opened by the m an i a c a l, the greedy and the proud –
thos e so blind to t heir own fl aws or un happy wit h t heir lot in life they
tur ne d to the d arkest of s olut ions. The fell b eings they prayed to forced
cracks in re a l it y so wide that a r ising tide of anarchy and st r ife swept
t h rou g h to drown c ou nt l e s s c i v i l i s at i on s .
His g lor ious utopia c ol l ap s i ng around him, Sig mar tur ne d his back on
his fl o ck and ret re ate d to the R e a lm of Heavens, Azyr, seat of his power.
In doing so he condemne d thos e mor t a ls left b ehind to a fate worse
t han de at h. The weak were butchere d, tor mented or ensl ave d; the strong
took the proffered g i ft s of the Dark Go ds and f reed t he ms elve s from the
sha ck l e s of Order. As the rest of the Mor t a l R e a l ms entered an age of
ter r ible d ar k n e s s , t hes e w ar r i ors found that t heir new patrons would not
abandon them as Sig mar had done. Inste ad they offered l i m it l e ss power
and i n flu e n c e to thos e who had the w i l l to cl aim them.
C e ntu r i e s later, the God-King’s ar mies have re tu r ne d to the re a l ms , a
he avenly host sent to recover all that was lost dur ing the Age of Chaos.
They pro cl aim that t his is the Age of Sigmar, and that worshipp ers of the
Dark Go ds w i l l be put to the sword, t heir e v i l b an ishe d from the Mortal
R e a l ms . Those sworn to Chaos laugh at such delusion – to be acc us e d of
t re as on by thos e who so re adi ly fors o ok them seems a fine joke indeed.
Swollen wit h fell power and march i ng a longside legions of daemonic
ab om i nat i ons , they bring war to the s e r v ant s of the God-King.
Sig mar offers not hing but lies and doomed ambit ion. Only in the
worship of the Dark Go ds can a mor t a l soul t r u ly as cend to g re at ne ss .

GLORY OR
DEATH
Welcome to the Bloodwind Spoil, a Chaos-twisted wasteland
that stretches out before the Varanspire’s fortified walls
like an open wound. There is no law here beyond that of the
drawn blade, and not an ounce of honour or mercy to be
found. There is only a brutal struggle for existence, in which
the mightiest flourish and ravening predators grow fat upon
the corpses of the weak. The very land itself seeks to prey
upon the lost souls who venture here; bubbling swamps of
malformed flesh swallow unwary travellers, vampiric choke-
vines drag them screaming into darkness, and floating polyps
of crystal drain both soul and blood away in an agonising
The call of the Everchosen echoes out across the Mortal Realms, and the greatest champions of the Dark Gods stand
ready to answer. Warbands from far and wide make the deadly pilgrimage to the Eightpoints, the domain of Archaon,
Exalted Grand Marshal of the Apocalypse. There they must brave a gauntlet of rival gangs, ravenous beasts and a
bleak and unforgiving wilderness if they are to reach the gates of the Varanspire and claim their rightful place at the
Everchosen’s side.
moment. Amidst these deadly environments, bands of killers
duel, fighting an endless, desperate battle to prove their
superiority and power to mighty Archaon by butchering their
rivals and raising their foul totems across the land. Only the
most ferocious amongst them will triumph, and perhaps be
honoured with a place in the Everchosen’s iron legions, to
fight in his ceaseless crusades against the Mortal Realms.
Warcry is a game of bloody skirmish combat, in which you
control a warband of vicious killers as they reave their way
across the Bloodwind Spoil. Time-worn ruins and blasted
Sheer, unrelenting hatred marks the conflict b e t w een the Iron G olems and the Untamed Beasts.
These two wildl y different cultures both worship the power of Chaos, but this shared belief will not
pre vent them tearing one another apart in a quest for power and i n fl u en ce.

wastes play host to furious lightning-swift engagements,
blade-wielding fiends howl and leap from the shadows to fall
upon their prey, armoured giants wade into battle swinging
warhammers with bone-breaking force, and eerily silent
assassins open throats and bellies with casual precision.
The nature of these engagements can be as varied as the
warbands who fight them. Perhaps your warriors seek to cut
the head from a rival tribe by slaying their leader, or maybe
they require new and deadlier weapons, which they plan to
strip from the corpses of their foes. In these running battles,
cunning, cruelty and bold action will win the day, though
one can never trust the deadly and mercurial landscapes of
the Eightpoints. The rules of Warcry allow you to simulate
the hostile conditions of this island domain, from scalding
storms of boiling blood to freezing blizzards and stampedes
of vicious predators.
No matter which warband you choose to command, each of
your warriors will earn experience and prestige for each foe
they cut down, equipping themselves with looted weapons
and wargear, and learning special skills that will make
them all the more formidable in combat. As a warband’s
power grows, so to does their territory and their infamous
reputation. In time, perhaps, word of their deeds might reach
the ear of Archaon the Everchosen himself.
Within this book you will read of several of the deadliest and
most feared warbands to haunt the wilds of the Eightpoints.
Each of these cultures is devoted to Chaos and the Dark
Gods, but each expresses their worship in a unique manner
shaped by the dreadful lands from which they hail. Featured
within are unique narrative campaigns that exemplify
their culture and way of war. These campaigns detail your
warband’s rise from minor players to powerful warlords,
and each offers a unique reward to grant to your fiercest
champion or favoured cut-throat. It is not solely those
devoted to the Ruinous Powers who find themselves battling
across the Eightpoints; included within are campaigns for
several other factions from each Grand Alliance, including
hard-bitten Stormcast Eternals, belligerent Ironjawz and
many more. Choose your allegiance, and dominate the
Bloodwind Spoil in the name of the gods!
