Battletome: Slaves to Darkness is coming soon for Age of Sigmar. First shown off at NOVA Open, Games Workshop is giving us a look at some of the figures that’ll have rules inside. And they’re starting off with a big one. It’s Eternus, Blade of the First Prince.
From the article:
Descending from the sky in a bolt of black lightning is Eternus, Blade of the First Prince.
The Blade of the First Prince was once one of Archaon’s Varanguard – a champion of the Eighth Circle known as Atarus. When he renounced Archaon at the feet of the Dark Master, he was thrust into lightning-wracked Cursed Skies that swirl with the souls of slain Stormcast Eternals, unable to return to Azyr.* There he was burned alive by this divine lighting, only to be revived by Be’lakor – who breathed those trapped souls into him.
Reborn as Eternus, this warrior pays for his immortality with undying fealty to Be’lakor. Yet this gift may be plucked from the so-called lord of traitors just as quickly as it was conferred – so Eternus wages a desperate campaign to keep his master satisfied, using spies and covert agents to further Be’lakor’s plan to usurp Archaon as the Exalted Grand Marshal of the Apocalypse.**
