The Order of Azyr is a fearsome organization dedicated to rooting out corruption in the Mortal Realms. With origins reminiscent of the Cult of Sigmar, their mission spans hunting Chaos and Death forces, infiltrators, and rogue sorcerers.

Key Members and Lore

• Hanniver Toll: Iconic leader fueled by Aqua Ghyranis, whose critical strikes and ranged attacks excel in combat.

• Armand Callis: Toll’s loyal ally with powerful ranged and melee options.

• Valius, Keeper Aqshian: A tank with unmatched durability and the ability to reduce incoming damage.

• Mistress Verentia: Tactical spy disrupting enemy plans with unique abilities (having access to the Secrets from the Shadows).

• Lyssa Revenya: Agile fighter who weakens heavy hitters.

• Balthus: Valius' Gryph-hound, small but mighty.

Hexbane’s Hunters

Led by Haskel Hexbane, this Bladeborn warband offers ranged firepower (Quiet Pock) and melee resilience (Aemos Duncarrow) to complement the Order.

Abilities for the Order of Azyr Warband

Abilities like Hallowed Vengeance (Quad) enable devastating retaliation, while Give ’Em Both Barrels (Triple) grants bonus ranged attacks. Use reactions like Grim Resolve to recover mid-battle.

Why Choose the Order of Azyr?

• Immersive narrative gameplay.

• Diverse tactical options.
  – Not the most competitive, but balanced for thematic battles.

Join the Order of Azyr to bring justice to the Mortal Realms!

The Stormcast Ruination Chamber represents the Stormcast Eternals who have nearly lost their humanity through Sigmar’s reforging. These grim warriors are a last line of defense, wielding Azyrite power to battle Chaos and defend the Mortal Realms.

Key Fighters and Abilities

• Lord-Vigilant on Gryph-stalker: Mounted powerhouse with mobility and a unique Quad for reactivating allies.

• Knight-Azyros: Protects allies from critical hits with Blazing Lantern (Triple).

• Lord-Terminos: Best leader choice, granting bonus attacks to damaged allies (Triple).

• Prosecutors: Agile scouts with teleportation & melee capabilities (Double).

• Reclusians: Tough tanks with excellent defense & retribution capabilities.

Tactics

The Ruination Chamber excels with its durable heroes and high-mobility units like the Prosecutors. Center your strategy around the Lord-Terminos for devastating attacks, while Prosecutors secure objectives. The reaction Ancient Aura cancels enemy abilities, offering a critical edge.

Though less synergy-focused than other warbands, the Ruination Chamber compensates with raw power and resilience.

Best for Beginners: Elegoo Mars 4 DLP
The Mars 4 DLP is beginner-friendly, thanks to its projector-based technology, eliminating worries about damaging an LCD screen. It offers impressive quality for its price, making it an excellent starting point.

Best for Large Models: Elegoo Saturn 3
With a large build volume, the Saturn 3 is perfect for printing big models or mass-producing miniatures. While print quality might not rival smaller printers, its versatility and scale make it a favorite.

Best for High Resolution: Elegoo Mars 4 Ultra
The Mars 4 Ultra delivers exceptional print detail with an 18-micron XY resolution, ideal for those focused on producing the highest-quality miniatures. It offers top-notch results at a reasonable price, albeit with fewer premium features.

I have some exciting news for you: I have just launched my course with an early bird price.

In the online video course, I will teach you everything you need to know about 3D printing miniatures in resin. You get lifetime access to the course and any future updates I make for it—and I have some great stuff planned for the future! You can see what is in the course right now in the image below.

The early bird price on the course only lasts for the rest of January. After that, the price goes up, and it is unlikely to go on sale ever again, so get it for cheap while you can.

As a personal thanks, because you are subscribed to this newsletter, you get a bonus: €10 off the course if you use the code AGEOFMINIATURES at checkout. I would love to help you get started printing in resin and would also very much appreciate some feedback on the course.
