A Liberator of the Hammers of Sigmar.
"First to be Forged, Never to Fail" - warcry of the Hammers of Sigmar.[24]

The Hammers of Sigmar are a Stormhost of the Stormcast Eternals, wearing gold and blue armor. They were the first stormhost to be assembled and hurled upon Sigmar's divine lighting to fight the forces of Chaos, and the largest of the Stormhosts able to call upon almost all types of warriors Sigmar has devised.[1][6][21]

For being the first of the Stormcast to fight against Chaos they bear a great and honour which they bear with strength and nobility, and ever single warrior and commander fights with such a vengeful determination that fills the servants of the Dark Gods with dread.[21]

History

Realmgate Wars

Battle for the Brimstone Peninsula

The first battle of the Hammers of Sigmar was on the Brimstone Peninsula. Vandus Hammerhand and Ionus Cryptborn led a Thunderstrike Brotherhood against the Goretide of Korghos Khul, saving survivors of the Direbrand Tribe, reclaiming the first Gate of Azyr and starting the Realmgate Wars.[9]

Lord-Celestant Jactos Goldenmane assaulted the Goretide, but he was beheaded by Korghos Khul and his soul was unable to return to Azyr. Khul tried to use Jactos Goldenmane's head as the final sacrifice to complete his Red Pyramid of skulls and become a Daemon Prince. When the ritual was almost complete, Vandus reached him and challenged him to single combat. When he was almost defeated, Vandus called upon Sigmar's Great Bolts to destroy the Gate of Wrath and the Red Pyramid. The God-King heard his prayers and Khul's resources were destroyed. The Brimstone Peninsula was conquered.[10a]

Quest for Ghal Maraz

The Hammers of Sigmar are one of the Stormhosts sent to recover Ghal Maraz in the Hanging Valleys of Anvrok. The Heldenhammer Crusade besieged the Eldritch Fortress built by Tzeentch's followers in the once great metropolis Elixia. Vandus Hammerhand and Thostos Bladestorm had to face Ephryx, Korghos Khul and Skaven hordes combined while Dracothion and Argentine battled in the sky. Thostos used his assault to give enough time to Vandus, who was finally able to recover Ghal Maraz.[14]

War of Lost Time

In Chamon, Archaon wanted to get his hands on Kiathanus, the Tzeentchian daemonic oracle. The Hammerhands opposed him and fought him on Mount Kronus, but they're completely annihilated. After this defeat, Dracothion roared and unleashed a surge of energy which empowered and opened the Extremis Chambers.[13][15] Vandus was among those killed on Mount Kronus, personally cut in half by Archaon using the Slayer of Kings. Before his soul returned to Azyr, Archaon run his fingers through it. After long years, Vandus was reforged, but he started to witness strange visionsand warnings from a figure of pure energy he called the Lightning Man.[23][24]

Nexus Wars

The Hammers of Sigmar fought in the Nexus Wars to reclaim the All-Gates. In Aqshy, the Fyreslayers triggered the Rune of Binding on Ignax, turning the Solar Drake from Archaon's ally to enemy. Imperius succeeded in creating a path through the Hell Breach, but then he was killed by Skarbrand. Vandus Hammerhand slew Skarbrand and the Brimfire Gate was closed.[16][23]

Other Entrementes

After the Realmgate Wars

  • Vandus Hammerhand was the first to witness visions of malign manifestations across the Mortal Realms. The Lightning Man warned him of Shyish Nadir and Nagash's plan to harness the magical energies of the Realm of Death.[24]

Soul Wars

At the beginning of the Soul Wars, Knossus Heavensen, Lord-Arcanum of the Hammers of Sigmar joined his fellow Hammers, the Anvils of the Heldenhammer and the other defenders of Glymmsforge against the forces of Nagash.[25]
