From the maelstrom of a sundered world, the Eight Realms were
born. The formless and the divine exploded into life. Strange, new
worlds appeared in the firmament, each one gilded with spirits,
gods and men. Noblest of the gods was Sigmar. For years beyond
reckoning he illuminated the realms, wreathed in light and majesty
as he carved out his reign. His strength was the power of thunder.
His wisdom was infinite. Mortal and immortal alike kneeled before
his lofty throne. Great empires rose and, for a while, treachery was
banished. Sigmar claimed the land and sky as his own and ruled
over a glorious age of myth.
But cruelty is tenacious. As had been foreseen, the great alliance
of gods and men tore itself apart. Myth and legend crumbled into
Chaos. Darkness flooded the realms. Torture, slavery and fear
replaced the glory that came before. Sigmar turned his back on
the mortal kingdoms, disgusted by their fate. He fixed his gaze
instead on the remains of the world he had lost long ago, brooding
over its charred core, searching endlessly for a sign of hope. And
then, in the dark heat of his rage, he caught a glimpse of something
magnificent. He pictured a weapon born of the heavens. A beacon
powerful enough to pierce the endless night. An army hewn from
everything he had lost. Sigmar set his artisans to work and for
long ages they toiled, striving to harness the power of the stars.
As Sigmar’s great work neared completion, he turned back to the
realms and saw that the dominion of Chaos was almost complete.
The hour for vengeance had come. Finally, with lightning blazing
across his brow, he stepped forth to unleash his creation.
The Age of Sigmar had begun.

INTRODUCTION
Battletome: Dominion of Chaos
is a guide to the eldritch ruins and mystical places of power throughout
the Mortal Realms. Read on, and discover these ensorcelled remnants of a brighter age.
Battletome: Dominion of Chaos
details
the hallowed shrines of forgotten
gods, magically empowered ruins and
flickering gateways that lie scattered
across the Mortal Realms. These are
the sites of battles and massacres.
They are mute witnesses to horrors
untold, soaked in the blood and
magic of a thousand wars. For the
turning of an age the Dark Gods have
held their dominion over the Mortal
Realms, grinding down the glittering
civilisations that once spanned them
until naught but archaic ruins and
hidden echoes of their glory remain.
As Sigmar’s Tempest rolls across the
heavens its fury illuminates countless
strange sights. Warriors clash amid the
spirit-haunted remnants of once-great
cities, battle for possession of capricious
orreries, or shed the blood of their foes
into the machineries of reality itself.
Across shimmering deserts, weird
amalgamations of churning cogs rip
free of the ground to twist the very flow
of time. Amidst primal forest, ancient
stone dais are illuminated by flickering
flames belched from the maws of bestial
statues brought suddenly back to life by
the prayers of the faithful.
Yawning chasms tear through the skin
of the realms, gnashing like hungry
maws or belching forth magical
energies to warp and twist. Shimmering
Realmgates vomit armies of bloody-
minded warriors, spilling tides of
destruction across despoiled kingdoms
or forming focal points for savage
battles of conquest and dominance. Like
bloodflies to fresh meat, the armies of
the realms swarm to these places, the
arcane and divine energies calling out
like a siren’s song to mortal minds and
leading them to battlefields anew with
promises of fresh foes to kill.
For the brave and bold these relics
and ruins of the Mortal Realms hold
the power to turn the tide of battle.
Dare you lead your warriors beneath
their yawning archways or into their
shimmerlit depths? Can you crush
all who bar your way, claiming them
for your own? Only the strongest can
master the sorcerous battlefields of the
Mortal Realms, be they fell servant
of the Dark Gods or lightning-forged
Stormcast Eternal warrior. So take
up blade or hammer, ready spell and
prayer, and prepare for battle – for this
is the Dominion of Chaos!
THE LIMITLESS REALMS
This book is a guide to the mysterious ruins and strange sites of power scattered across the Mortal
Realms. From the bewildering Numinous Occulums to the silent and menacing Ophidian Archways,
these remnants of another age are exciting and evocative additions to any miniatures collection.
For many people, part of the joy of
collecting Citadel Miniatures is in
creating rich, fantastical environments
for them to inhabit – be they intended
for display, gaming, or the sheer
enjoyment of modelling a fabulously
detailed landscape. There’s hours of
pleasure to be had from planning
the scenery, crafting the setting and
building the backdrop for your models,
and more still from arranging your
miniatures in it.
Ancient, arcane temples; rivers of
bubbling magic; living mountains;
deadly ice floes; soaring fortresses –
the possibilities are endless, and can
really bring your models to life. These
are the dangerous locales where great
legends are forged, where heroes battle
both their sworn enemies and their
remarkable environments, where
generals lead hordes of warriors
to glory.
A great modelled setting is much like
a film set, your miniatures the actors.
The stories you began when you first
purchased and assembled your models,
or when you chose their allegiances
and paint schemes, can continue here,
in these fantastical realms. Will your
army survive the long trek through the
murky forests of the Gnarlwood? Will
the tentacled beast in the Kulamark
Chasm rise up to destroy the bridge
before they can defeat the enemy? Can
your Warrior Chamber lay siege to the
bone fort of Shiron before the undead
rise to drag them all to the underworld?
Stories such as these are rooted in their
environments, and the more fantastical
and strange those environments are, the
more your heroes and villains will have
to overcome.
Just like the miniatures in your
collection, a fantastic modelled
environment usually starts with a
Citadel model. There’s a vast array of
scenery pieces to choose from, and
they can be assembled in an infinite
variety of ways. It’s this flexibility
that really allows you to bring your
tabletop to life, combining Baleful
Realmgates with mystic ruins, strange
Numinous Occulums with ancient,
blasted temples. You might choose
to recreate the bizarre environments
you’ve read about or seen in our books,
