If you're looking to plunge headfirst into the new edition of Warhammer Age of Sigmar, look no further than this launch set. Warhammer Age of Sigmar: Skaventide comes complete with two powerful armies, pitting the golden might of the Stormcast Eternals against the skittering threat of the Skaven – hideous and cunning ratmen seeking to spread their twisted influence, and lay waste to the Mortal Realms.
The set also includes a Skaventide-exclusive version of the Warhammer Age of Sigmar Core Book, which provides extensive background information on the game’s fantastical setting, as well as complete rules for playing thrilling games with your Warhammer miniatures. Accompanying this is the Spearhead: Fire and Jade hardback book, containing all the additional rules you need to play the brand new Spearhead game mode for Warhammer Age of Sigmar, along with a double-sided gameboard on which to play out your Spearhead clashes.
This boxed set includes:
1x 272-page hardback Warhammer Age of Sigmar Core Book: Discover the lore of Warhammer Age of Sigmar and learn to master magnificent armies of valiant warriors, wild daemons, and more on the battlefield. This tome includes all of the game’s core rules, three different styles of gameplay suitable for players of every level, variant game types for siege battles and tunnel fighting, and much more.
1x 144-page hardback Spearhead: Fire and Jade book: Take on the brand new Spearhead game mode and enjoy fast, tactical, small-scale battles that are different every time. This book contains all the rules you need to play Spearhead, including how to get started, Spearhead Battlepacks, and Spearhead army rules for a huge range of factions and miniatures – including rules to play with the Stormcast Eternals and Skaven miniatures in this boxed set – as well as a copy of the Core Rules for easy reference.
1x 30" by 22.4" double-sided game board: A heavy card game board that can be folded for easy transport. It depicts the blasted landscape of Aqshy, the Realm of Fire, on one side, and the green land of Ghyran, the Realm of Life, on the other. Each side features 5x objective markers, and is perfect for use as a battlefield in your Spearhead games.
74x plastic push-fit miniatures: At the heart of the Skaventide set are two armies of brand new miniatures, each cleverly designed so they can be pushed together without the need for glue. Each force includes a flexible range of powerful warriors armed with devastating weapons, and they can easily be bolstered with additional reinforcements to act as the core of a larger collection. These models include:
24x Stormcast Eternals
The chosen champions of Sigmar, plucked from their mortal bodies at the moment of their death and Reforged to fight once more. Each Stormcast Eternal is a nigh-immortal warrior, capable of fighting hordes of the fiercest foes and emerging victorious.
- 1x Lord-Vigilant on Gryph-stalker – Commanders of the Ruination chambers, these warriors wield axes that turn foes to ash with a single strike, while their Gryph-stalker mounts mark foes for death with an ominous and accursed caw.
- 1x Lord-Terminos with 1x Memorian – Armed with a sacred executioner's blade, Lords-Terminos are burdened with the duty of putting their fellow Stormcast Eternals to rest and releasing their tormented souls, never to be Reforged again.
- 1x Lord-Veritant with 1x Gryph-crow – Few Stormcast Eternals are as dreaded as the Lord-Veritants. Chosen from those whose hatred of Chaos eclipses all else, they hunt corruption wherever it lurks, using their burning swords and lanterns to expose ruinous taint.
- 1x Knight-Questor – Sigmar has chosen each Knight-Questor to undertake a mission of the utmost import. These questing warriors strive to complete their mysterious tasks, no matter the cost – allowing none to undermine the God-King’s will.
- 3x Reclusians with 2x Memorians – Reclusians stride to battle on only the darkest days, for these immortal warriors hover on the precipice of losing their humanity entirely, and their lightning-scoured souls are particularly resistant to the corrosion of Chaos.
- 3x Prosecutors – Prosecutors streak through the heavens like vengeful meteors, carried on burning wings. Such are the dangers faced by these angelic warriors that many are now assigned to the Ruination chambers, to serve as merciless instruments of Sigmar’s justice.
- 10x Liberators – To the Liberators falls the duty of casting down the warlords of ruin and stamping Sigmar’s claim upon the realms. Clad in thunderstrike armour, they can withstand the blows of insidious hordes and the foul magic of corrupted battlefields alike.
50x Skaven
For centuries, the perfidious ratmen known as the Skaven scurried out of sight, rising only to bombard their foes with hideous mutants, magical machines, and overwhelming numbers. Now they erupt across the realms in explosive boils of corruption, their schemes finally bearing fruit.
- 1x Clawlord on Gnaw-Beast – Clawlords are the most accomplished Skaven war-leaders. Clad in heavy armour and wielding blades marked by fell runes, they drive their hordes to conquer, screeching threats from atop their horrific Gnaw-beast mounts.
- 1x Grey Seer – Most devious of all Skaven, Grey Seers are the sorcerous agents of the Masterclan, who work to manipulate their society from the shadows. Identifiable by their horns and ashen fur, they possess a terrifying mastery of dark magic.
- 1x Warlock Engineer – The Warlocks of the engineering Clans Skryre drive the industry of all Skavendom. However, they are all utterly insane, and obsessed with crafting ever more inventive weapons of death.
- 1x Ratling Warpblaster – Ratling Warpblasters are designed to cull massed infantry, using a complex series of rotary cannons to spit out a torrent of warpstone-infused missiles. Anyone caught in their path must dive for cover or be reduced to bloody mist.
- 3x Rat Ogors – These rabid mutants are created by fusing Skaven flesh with muscled bulk of ogors through vile surgery, cryptosorcery, and toxic serums. Consumed by pain and gnawing hunger, Rat Ogors tear at their enemies in a blind fury.
- 3x Warplock Jezzails – Skilled Skaven snipers crew Warplock Jezzails, which can spit death from a distance. These gunners use highly pressurised warpstone gas to launch deadly shards across the battlefield, picking off the most impressive targets they can spot.
- 40x Clanrats – Clanrats are the dregs of Skaven society, considered utterly disposable by their masters. Motivated by hunger, fear, and ambition, Clanrats fight on no matter how many are crushed, stabbed, or cut down, armed with whatever rusted blades they can scrounge.
4x plastic push-fit terrain features: This terrain set shows fractured Sigmarite architecture that has been desecrated with the twisted icons and aesthetics of the Skaven. It is also ideal for playing out the Spearhead games featured in the Spearhead: Fire and Jade book.
All miniatures come supplied with their appropriate bases. These push-fit miniatures can be assembled without glue and are supplied unpainted – we recommend using Citadel Colour paints.
36x Spearhead cards: These cards contain Twist cards and Battle Tactics ready for you to shuffle and draw during your Spearhead games.
17x General's Handbook cards: This card deck is for quick reference during matched play games of Warhammer Age of Sigmar, including 2024-25 Season Rules cards, Battle Tactics cards, Battleplan cards, and a Score card.
1x 6" plastic range ruler and 1x 3" plastic range ruler: Featuring sculpted skull and rat icons to designate inches, these range rulers can be used separately, or pushed together to make a single 9" range ruler for use in your games.
Comic Book Preorder Policy
Comic Book Preorder Policy
Golden Apple Comics Comic Book Preorder Info
What is a preorder?
A preorder is an order placed for an item that has not yet been released. For comic books and collectibles, we offer preorders to allow customers to reserve their copies in advance. This ensures they will receive the item they want and eliminates the worry of it selling out before they have a chance to buy it.
What is the difference between a pull list or subscription and a preorder?
A comic book pull list is similar to preordering books in advance, but with a few key differences. Preorders offer more flexibility, whereas a pull list can be harder to adjust. Since pull lists are typically set months in advance, adding or removing titles can be tricky. On the other hand, preorders can be placed closer to the release date— even the week of release— as long as stock is available. While there are differences, preorders can still function much like a traditional subscription pull, allowing you to secure the books you want ahead of time.
Do I pay up front for my preorder?
This process helps us verify that payment is valid and ensures you are committed to your order. Since we need to place preorders months in advance, we base our orders on the demand from our customers. By securing payment up front, we're able to reserve the books specifically for you, guaranteeing you get what you've requested.
What is “FOC” or Final Order Cut Off?
This is the final deadline for retailers to place book orders before they go to print. We cap our orders at the Final Order Cutoff (FOC). This date usually falls 1–2 months before the release date, though for hardcovers, trade paperbacks, manga, and specialty items, the timeline may be even longer. Certain items require orders to be placed at least six months in advance.
What can I find current preorders?
On the homepage of www.goldenapplecomics.com, we offer a dropdown menu organized by release date for both current and past preorders. A new catalog is uploaded around the 3rd or 4th weekend of each month once it becomes available. Cover sets and CGC offerings are typically added within a few days of the catalog’s release.
Does Golden Apple Comics offer discounts on preorders?
Yes, comic books are discounted for approximately the 1st 1 - 2 months when we list the catalog. As it gets closer to the time we need to order, the discounts will be removed. We encourage you to place your orders sooner so that we can get our ordering locked in and receive the discount.
How does shipping work?
If you place a preorder containing items with multiple release dates, your order will ship after the latest release date in the order. We typically ship new preorders within 5–10 business days of their release. However, delays can occur due to late arrivals, damages, or other unforeseen issues. We make every effort to secure replacements for damaged books, but this process can extend the turnaround time by several weeks.
Can I combine multiple orders into a single shipment?
Yes, Golden Apple Comics offers a combined shipping option for buyers with multiple orders. This allows you to add additional orders at discounted shipping rates. You’ll pay our standard shipping rate on your first order, and for subsequent orders, you can select the combined shipping option to reduce costs.
Please note that when choosing combined shipping, delivery times will vary depending on the number of books, the latest release date in your order, and how frequently you place orders.
HOW TO USE GOLDEN APPLE COMICS COMBINED SHIPPING
What grade is guaranteed on preorder books?
For preorder books, we strive to ship copies that are Near Mint (NM) 9.4 or better. While we understand collectors seek the highest grades, we cannot guarantee 9.8s on every book, as this is not always realistic. Printing imperfections and production variances make it impossible for every book to achieve a 9.8 grade.
What cover is gauranteed on preorder books?
Our listings use stock photos provided by publishers. These images may display unfinished artwork—such as sketches or virgin covers (without trade dress or logos). If a cover is a virgin variant, it will be clearly stated in the title.
If the title does not mention a virgin cover, the final product will include logos and trade dress.
It is industry standard for publishers to provide preview images to retailers before release. These previews often do not include logos, but the final printed product will.
Do you ship preorder books bagged and boarded?
Yes, all standard-sized comic books are shipped bagged and boarded. However, exceptions include items such as hardcovers, trade paperbacks, manga, and large-format or oversized books.
What if my preorder book is damaged?
We take great care in screening all books for damage and packing them securely to ensure they arrive in the best possible condition. However, despite our best efforts, a small number of books may still sustain damage during transit. If you encounter any issues, please email us at gappleorders@gmail.com, and we will be happy to assist you.
Can I cancel or return my preorder?
We do not accept cancellations, returns, or refunds on presale items. Any item sold before its official release date is considered a presale. All sales are final.

We place orders based on your orders. If you are ordering presale books we are paying for your books months in advance to secure copies specifically for you and we cannot return them for a refund.

No refunds or returns on accurately described items. Books without a stated grade will be offered as NM 9.4 or better with no guarantee of 9.8s. We use industry standards to grade including Overstreet, CGC and CBCS standards. Not familiar with grading check out the following references:
Overstreet Comic Grading Standards
We will not accept returns or exchanges any book with out a stated grade where they would be NM 9.4 or better books. We cannot promise 9.8s on every book, that's not realistic. Printing is imperfect and does not allow for every book to be 9.8.
If the entire print run has similar defects like minor spine dings, bindery issues etc then you will be shipped what we receive unless there is a reprint announced in a timely manner by the publisher. Then you will be given the option to receive the reprint. In the cases where the entire print run has defects we only promise 9.2 or better.
Please note that the following defects may be allowed in NM 9.4 as long as there is not an accumulation of defects.
bindery defects like minor to moderate corner tears, white along the edge of the spine, covers that are offset from the pages (common on cardstock covers) - bindery defects may not affect the grade much if at all
printing defects like a slight color rubs on the back covers, small wrinkles in the paper that were present on the paper rolls prior to the books being printed, paper that is "wavy" from the printing process
printer lines or grooves, they some times run the entire length of the cover or just part of the length. These are from print rollers. Usually on cardstock or foil covers.
2 - 3 small color breaking spine dings or minor non color breaking spine dings
This specific photo example was also a line wide issue, every copy had the same problem.
