The winds of Shyish stir as the pitiless hosts of the Barrow Kingdoms march once more. The Soulblight Gravelords Deathrattle Army Set is more than just a new launch – it’s a bold reimagining of what it means to command death itself on the tabletop. This box is packed with stunning new sculpts, a wealth of lore, and everything you need to begin raising a kingdom from the bones of the fallen.

What’s Inside?

At the heart of this Army Set is a Wight King on Skeletal Steed, an imperious mounted general radiating undead nobility. For those seeking a less regal option, he can also be built as a Wight Lord, allowing some flexibility in how you lead your forces.

Backing him are 5 Barrow Knights, towering skeletal cavalry with ornate armor and deathly steeds, and 20 Barrow Guard, elite warriors interred with their lords and bound to eternal servitude. These new models ooze gothic charm and grim majesty, with baroque detailing and an air of ancient menace that fits the Soulblight aesthetic perfectly.

Also included is the updated Battletome: Soulblight Gravelords, a 128-page hardback tome packed with background lore, glorious artwork, and all the rules you need to command the deathless. The narrative expands on the Barrow Kingdoms, delving into the cursed legacies of nobles who sought to cheat death by serving it.

To round out the box, you get 55 warscroll cards, keeping your rules handy for fast reference during battle. These include unit profiles, faction abilities, Regiments of Renown, and rules for the Tomb Host Spearhead, making this set ideal whether you’re building for full-scale warfare or quick skirmishes.

Final Verdict

The Soulblight Gravelords Deathrattle Army Set is an exceptional launch box. The miniatures are dynamic and richly detailed, the lore deepens one of the most enduring factions in Age of Sigmar, and the included tools make army-building a breeze. Whether you're a veteran necromancer or a newcomer to the forces of Death, this set delivers incredible value and character.
