Liberator
Liberators are the footsoldiers of the Warrior-Chambers and the most common soldier of the Stormhosts. Each one of them were a hero plucked from the Mortal Realms by Sigmar and reforged, their minds and bodies imbued with the power of a god, in the Chamber of the Broken World into a Stormcast Eternal. In the Age of Sigmar they are immortals hurled down to the Mortal Realms to liberate it from the tyranny of Chaos.[1][2][3]
Most wield a holy warhammer and a broad tower shield of sigmarite and are experts at deflecting enemy attacks and even those attacks that bypass their shields are often stopped by their Sigmarite armour. They are patient and will wait till the enemies are at their shield walls or have been hemmed to a close confines before striking them down. Some however prefer keen blades instead of hammers. The Celestial Vindicators even prefer to forgo the tower shields to carry a warblade in both hands to fight as a whirlwind of razored edges that reduce their foes to nothing but dismembered limbs.The Liberator-Primes are the leaders of the liberators, denoted by their lion-headed shoulder pad and plumed helm. Primes and the most experienced warriors in a retinue will wield a two-handed grandblade or grandhammer that can slay an Ogor in a single strike. Liberators that wield blades have a gothic halos, while those that wield warhammers have crescent halos. A relic box hangs from their belt and some wield reliquaries on their backs.[1][3][4] [6]
