* DropTheHammer: A usual weapon of the Stormcast Eternals. Liberators and Annihilators make use of hammers and shields. The winged Prosecutors dual wield hammers.

* NoCampaignForTheWicked: Almost subverted. With the exception of the Nighthaunt, The Orruk Kruleboyz and the Disciples of Tzeentch are fully playable in different parts of the main campaign.

'''Warhammer: Age of Sigmar - Realms of Ruin''' is an upcoming RealTimeStrategy based on ''TabletopGame/WarhammerAgeOfSigmar'' developed and published by ''Creator/FrontierDevelopments''.

Realms of Ruin is a game that takes elements from ''VideoGame/DawnOfWar'' (particularly the second game) as its gameplay has the player command small squads of units produced from a single HQ building called Realmgates. Players will battle over the map for capture points that produce two resources known as "Command" and "Realmstone".

There are four factions slated for the base game. These are the mighty '''Stormcast Eternals''' (Grand Alliance of Order), the wicked '''Orruk Kruleboyz''' (Grand Alliance of Destruction), the phantasmal '''Nighthaunt''' (Grand Alliance of Death) and the sorcerous '''Disciples of Tzeentch''' (Grand Alliance of Chaos).

The game will feature a cinematic story campaign which involves a Stormcast Stormhost lead by Lord-Celestant Sigrun, who travels to the Realm of Ghur to aid a Dawnbringer settlement from a Kruleboyz assault. Whilst there, she also seeks an ancient artifact that may aid her in eliminating the orruk forces.

The game will be available for Playstation 5, Xbox Series X and PC and is set to be released on November 17, 2023.

!!This game provides examples of:

* ACommanderIsYou:
** Stormcast Eternals are classically Elitist, Generalist Brutes. They have a well-rounded and solid roster of expensive but powerful troops with small unit sizes, able to handle most things but lacking much flare in any direction, and besides their flying units are quite slow to move across the battlefield.

* AllForNothing: The Stormcast's main objective throughout the campaign is ensuring the safety of Harkanibus from the attacking Orruks. [[spoiler:Despite the best efforts of the Forces of Order and fully defeating the Orruks by the end of the game, Harkanibus undergoes a cleansing of its entire populace after Demechrios realizes too late that the artifact is tainted by Chaos, and by using its power for the city's defense has unwittingly tainted him and all of Harkanibus with its corrupting influence.]]
* BoringButPractical: The tier 4 faction ability for the Stormcast Eternals, Deep Strike, is simply to drop a unit straight into the field from Azyr, compared to the giant swamp monster, field of death magic and massive laser beam that the other factions can unleash. But it allows you to instantly deploy a high tier unit like Annihilators or Stormdrake Guard wherever they're needed, the unit deals damage and knockback to enemies when it lands, and critically Deep Strike is both cheaper and recharges faster than the other faction abilities.
* CassandraTruth: In one mission, the Stormcast manage to free an unknown artifact, guarded by the Nighthaunt, from its chains. The leading Nighthaunt, Lord Gloam, tries to warn the Stormcast of its danger, but is killed before he can explain further. Somewhat subverted, as while Iden doesn't believe the Nighthaunt, Sigrun and Demechrios actually heed his warning, with Demechrios casting a spell to discover its origins and see if it's dangerous before bringing it anywhere else.
* CombatMedic: The Knight-Vexillor serves as one, being deadly with a blade and using the Banner of the Reforged to heal and even resurrect fallen Stormcast.

-->'''Lord Gloam''': ''"Interlopers...Join our ranks!"''
-->'''Sigrun''': ''"I'd rather die!"''
-->'''Lord Gloam''': ''"('''Cackles''') Die first, then join our ranks!"''

* PoisonedWeapons: Man-Skewer Boltboyz have their crossbow bolts coated in poison. To emphasis this, whenever they fire their weapons the bolts have flight trails with a sickly green effect.

* TacticalWithdrawal: Like in Company of Heroes and Dawn of War II, the game has a retreat button for units.

* SwampsAreEvil: The Orruks use a swamp wretch that is powered by the magic of Mortk to attack the Stormcast Eternals.

* NoCampaignForTheWicked: Almost subverted. With the exception of the Nighthaunt, the Stormcast Eternals, The Orruk Kruleboyz and the Disciples of Tzeentch are fully playable in different parts of the main campaign.

* FantasticRacism: Iden despises the servants of Nagash, calling them disparaging names like "Filth" and "Dregs". Somewhat justified in that the many servants of Nagash are generally evil and have a hatred for the living.

* TheNoseKnows: Although he has been reforged as a Stormcast and has lost most of his memories from his former life, Iden apparently remembers enough of his past life as a denizen from Shyish (the Realm of Death). As such, he has an acute sense of smell when it comes to death and death magic.

* TacticalWithdrawal: Like in Company of Heroes and Dawn of War II, the game has a retreat button for units.
* TokenHuman: In the Campaign, the Celestial Wizard, Demechrios, is the only human amongst the semi-divine Stormcast Eternals.
* TwoBeingsOneBody: The Tzeentchian Magister, Strylka Twingaze, are apparently two sisters sharing the same body. When one of them speaks, it is conveyed through one set of their eyes closing on one half of their face, and the other half opening either blue eyes for the calm and calculating sister and pink eyes for the erratic and deranged sister.
