Age Of Sigmar’s off the table
Storm Ground is the wargame’s first PS4 strategy game
as it’s the only thing that can push
back against the darkness invading
the world. You must take on Death
itself plus a legion of returning
souls to take back the land, your
Stormcast Eternals bringing some
badass retribution through the
Gates Of The Celestial Realm.
Warhammer once again proves
that while fantasy might be quite
a busy genre, it can always put an
original twist on the tropes. These
are some pearly gates we’d be
scared to approach.
THEY’RE AN UNSTOPPABLE
FORCE WHO FIGHT PURELY FOR
THE SAKE OF VENGEANCE.
Storm Ground comes to PS4 early in
2021, so there’s time to pray for victory.

Warhammer Age
Of Sigmar is, in
tabletop terms,
the successor
to the original
Warhammer
Fantasy Battle. The dark fantasy
game hasn’t been translated into
videogames very often (unlike its
science-fiction cousin Warhammer
40,000). Storm Ground is the first
strategy game to inhabit Games
Workshop’s bestselling world, and
it’s shaping up to be a lusciously
good-looking chinstroker.
This strategy game is turn-
based, but even so it’s designed
to be fast-paced and offer plenty
of spectacular-looking fights.
As you progress through the
non-linear campaign you’ll be able
to build up and customise your
fantasy forces. It should also offer
something a little different on
subsequent new playthroughs. Of
course, you can take your beefed-
up army online to battle other
players one-on-one too.

Interactive and developed by
Gasket Games, Storm Ground
is centred on the Stormcast
Eternals. Decked out in full
Sigmarite armour, riding
stardrakes, and wielding lighting,
they’re sort of like angelic Space
Marines. They might fight against
Chaos, but they’re an unstoppable
force who fight purely for the sake
of vengeance, and always pose like
they’re modelling for an ’80s metal
album cover.
This “vengeance made manifest”
is what the world needs, though,
