From a lore development standpoint, I feel that Broken Realms Morathi may well be the book with the most advances in story from any previous Age of Sigmar supplement. Alliances will be broken, things you didnt see coming will happen and all hell may very well brake loose! a good 70 pages of 120 page book are dedicated to this brand new narrative, and I really was blown away by it! Last warning everyone, we are going to be going deep into spoiler territory here!

The book opens in suitably epic style with The Prophecy of Parturition (fun fact, Parturition is the act of giving birth) a Slaaneshi prophecy detailing something that is most likely going to be very bad news to the Mortal Realms – The Dark Prince giving birth to an offspring!

When the serpent’s head splits in two beneath the glare of a crimson moon, then shall the Newborn One come forth.

At the zenith of exultation it shall slither from the belly of it’s father.

And the realms themselves shall quiver to witness its glittering magnificence.

Extract from The Prophecy of Parturition
Well, that certainly doesnt sound like anything that we want to happen anytime soon…

This is a ginormous lore development right off the bat, and we’re not even into the main narrative yet! The escape of Slaanesh has been something I have been really excited to see, but there has always been the question of how exactly it was going to happen – I never for one moment thought The Dark Prince might have a bun in the oven, ready to spawn it’s offspring to reclaim it’s fathers throne and enact vengeance on those who imprisoned him…

The book moves into a recap of everything that has happened in this current story arch, from the Necroquake itself up to the siege of the Varanspire this is a nice way of consolidating the story so far and detailing in just how much trouble the Mortal Realms are at the moment. We learn that Morathi is looking for two things to complete the ritual that will allow her to ascend to godhood. Firstly Varanite, a rare form of molten realmstone that is found exclusively in the Eight Points and that is being mined by Archaon’s forces as a way of breaking the defences protecting the realmgate leading directly to Azyr. This stuff is really nasty, think liquid Warpstone that will mutate you beyond all recognition is you get as much as a drop of the stuff on you. The second artifact she needs is the Ocatian Lantern, a device used by Teclis to draw out the aelf-souls from Slaanesh that were used to craft the Idoneth Deepkin. Stolen by the fledgling Idoneth upon the realisation that Teclis wanted to destroy his failed creation, this artifact has been hidden deep beneath the waves ever since.

From here out we see a couple of parallel threads showing Morathi and her agents achieve these goals – Morathi manages to convince Sigmar to send an army to assault Varranthax’s Maw to act as a distraction while a crack strike team headed by Morathi herself head deep into the mine to teleport the Varanite into the void between realms and 100% not steal it herself for some evil scheme. While most of Sigmar’s allies quite rightly see through Morathi’s deceit, Sigmar himself resigns himself to the fact that if he does not aid then he endangers Archaon obtaining enough of the material to breach the gates of Azyr. She also specifically requests that the Anvils of the Heldenhammer are deployed away from Anvilguard in order to help in the assault. That should turn out fine, right?

Meanwhile Scourge Privateers and Shadowstalkers believe they have found the location of the Ocatian Lantern, and are deployed to steal this away from the Deep-Aelves

Over the rest of Act 1 we see how both those campaigns play out, with some great battle scenes, plenty of betrayal and the deployment of a new weapon crafted by the Gaunt Summoners with the ability to stop a Stormcast returning to Azyr when they are slain. Morathi stabs the servents of Simar in the back and steals the Varanite for herself, while her agents manage to secure the Lantern (With a united army of angry Idoneth hot on the heels)

We also meet a new character, Lord-Veritant Keiser Ven Brecht, descendant of a bloodline who have now fallen to the Curse of the Vampire. Ven Brect luckily manages to escape the battle after death despite Archaon’s new toys, his soul rushing back to Anvilguard to warn of what has transpired.

In the second act we see Morathi’s master plan put into action – As both the Idoneth and a Slaaneshi force who have tracked her from The Eight Points close in on Hagg Nar itself, Morathi puts the finishing touches to her plan and we learn what it is exactly that she wants to do – travel into the belly of Slaanesh itself and extract the souls of Elven Kings of the World that Was, and in consuming the raw power of these souls she will ascend to the godhood she most desires. It very nearly works flawlessly until the very last soul faces her, heavily implied to be Aenarion himself, the Phoenix King and partner of Morathi in a time long gone. Angered at all Morathi has done, Aenarion splits Morathi in two rupturing her very soul. Morathi has achieved the godhood she wanted, however due to the Phoenix King’s actions she has been split – one soul in two bodies – The first the graceful from of Morathi-Khaine, the self proclaimed reincarnation of Khaine and the other The Shadow Queen, all the darkest elements of Morathi’s psyche coalesced into a nightmare winged snake creature. At this very moment something even more horrific happens, Slaanesh gives birth, The Newborn ripping itself out of Slaanesh’s belly and following Morathi back to the Mortal Realms…

The forces of Slaanesh fall back from the battle around Hagg Narr, following the Newborn as it crosses through the sky like a comet, ready to meet their new infant god.

The act ends with a jubilant Morathi brokering an alliance with the Idoneth against their common enemy Teclis. We don’t learn what the ultimate decision of Akhelian High King Volturnos is at this point, but to me this seems to be a clear sign that the faction of “Order” may be about to split into smaller warring factions each with their own agenda.

In the final act we see Morathi’s first overt sign of a power grab, as Anvilguard itself falls to a combined assault both from Aelves within the city itself, who have pledged for Morathi-Khaine and the Scourge Privateers from Misthavn who are allied with her. The hero of the piece Ven Brecht manages to rally an impressive counterattack with the aid of the Duardin, but it is too little, too late with Morathi ultimately proving too powerful for them to stop. Morathi annexes the city, naming it now Har Kuron, the first part of her empire. In a genius move, the few remaining Stormcast defenders of the city are not killed, but rather captured and tortured, as a single dead Stormcast Eternal could end up back in Azyr and reveal Morathi’s hand too soon for her liking.

Interestingly, Ven Brecht is rescued at the end of the book by an unknown source – all we know is that the figure has bat-like wings. With Ven Brecht having vampiric relations spelt out earlier in the book, I wonder if this is a nod to a new Soulblight force on the horizon.

The Lore half of the book ends with thousands of Hedonites of Slaanesh, assembling before the Newborn as it begins to emerge into a great winged form and utter it’s first words to them.

While I was expecting the escape of Slaanesh to be a part of this book series, I really didnt expect to see these developments in book 1 – This is an outstanding book from a lore standpoint and I already can’t wait to see what the birth of The Newborn means for the Mortal Realms.

Надеюсь на большой релиз смертных Слаанеша, с НЕХ во главе. Типа Нагаша)))

[brRibbotaim]

"Спойлер"

Т.е. бабка-предательница-лгунья кинула Ордер? Никогда такого не было и вот опять)
Решили Анвилгард передать Морати? Лобби Ордера довольно(((
А, да кстати: теперь получается Анвилы Хелдехаммеры стали Багровыми Кулаками или Косами Императора(до последнего бэка с заражением генокрадами сервов) - лишившись своего дома?
Ничего прям бомбического не вижу: Морати не стала новым БХ, Слаанеш не создал свой космодесант с демонетками и скуумой в АоСе.

Если не выкатят 2 новые армии, то кампании зря прошли(

Интересно как книжка про анвилгард из ролевки в это впишется...

[Xaxas]

"Раскрывающийся текст"

Да они считай своего Иннеада родили, это ж круче)

[brRibbotaim]

Если это будет на столе - будет круто, если нет: Вект машет ручкой, он такой крутой, такой крутой, что аж на стол его поставить нельзя)))

Как думаете сколько будет коробок у слаанешитов новых?

[Knijnik]

Ролик просто ОГОНЬ!

[Шикарный Манул]

Фулгрим системы перепутал . А так норм , хотя лицо не оч - но тут думаю вопрос покраса как и с Жилей.

Слаанешитов поздравляю. У всех пяти оттенков Хаоса в АоС теперь хороший модельный ряд.
Жаль, что 40к - это не АоС.

С лиц сперва проржался, но замечу, что это проблема не скульпта, а покраса - со зрачками они реально глупо смотрятся, а вот если сделать светящиеся глазки или черные "демонеточные", будет вполне жутко в хорошем смысле.

размер баз не понятен

размер баз не понятен

Сигвальд на 60, пихоты на 32 (на глаз).

[Drinker]

Обожешки, спасибо. Они практически такие, как я видел. С учётом того, что гв вечно одни и те же элементы суёт во все дыры радостно объявляя о неожиданных новациях.
Ура ура, наконец-то очевидная компиляция из нескольких тем выродилась в Слаанеш. Оягребу алибабу. Спасибо, повелитель.
И вот это нужно было рожать столько лет? Лядь, мне даже сложно представить, сколько займёт появление ДИ в 40к. Поколения, наверное.
Ну и Сигвард обзавёлся рогами - прям трагедия в семье. Или наоборот?

[Честный]

Слаанешитов можно поздравить. и дилду им дали и кнут и плёточку - всё как любят)

Ну а без шуток, реально клёвые миниатюры. Вместе с корой от Варкрая вообще огонь а не армия выходит. Яркая и самобытная.

Сигвальд он как Сангвиний, только крыльев не хватает) Кто там ангела хотел? Получите)

Кстати, кто хорошо ролик смотрел и имеет зрение, там на заднем плане что-то размером с минотавров в ЛГБТ обвесе маячит и что-то типа колесницы. Приглядитесь повнимательнее.

[Drinker]

Сигвальд он как Сангвиний, только крыльев не хватает) Кто там ангела хотел? Получите)

Никто не хотел. Никакого ангела никто не хотел, кроме тупой школоты и дебильных детей. Так что - обратно заберите.

[Dreadlord]

Миньки шикарные, но вот чуток бы побольше градус упоротости.
Скорее всего попробую долепить кожаные перчатки у моделек чтобы были пришиты или приклёпаны пирсингом к коже рук.
Ну и возможно Сигвальду большую пару рогов лучше спилить.

А так прям годнота.

[Drinker]

А я правильно понимаю - симбареш и мирмидеш это дуалкит?

[Нитроксилин]

А я правильно понимаю - симбареш и мирмидеш это дуалкит?

Очень похоже на то; туловища+ноги у них точно одни на оба сорта.
