Transfigured

From Age of Sigmar - Lexicanum
Jump to: navigation, search

The Transfigured are those Stormcast Eternals who have been so thoroughly changed by the Reforging process, that they've become more akin to living weapons than the mortals they once were.[1a] Such individuals are looked upon with both horror and awe by Stormcasts, who fear being transformed themselves, with some even seeing the transfigured as monsters.[1a][1b]

Transfiguration Throughout the Stormhosts

Transfigured are as varied as the Stormhosts to which they belong, with each Stormhost manifesting commonalities among its transfigured. Those of the Knights of the Aurora create a trail of light as they charge into battle, whereas those belonging to the Knights Excelsior leave smoking footprints wherever they go.[1b]

There are many transfigured officers of the Hallowed Knights who glow with an inner light, this radiance growing brighter after each death until it radiates through the joints in their armour. Officers of the Knights Excelsior who go through transfiguration begin to perceive reality around them as monochrome, matching their rigid view that all things can be sorted into strict categories of good and evil. Some of the vengeful lords found amongst the Celestial Vindicators find their own eternal wrath manifesting as a blue flame around them when they wage war.[1c]

When the transfigured warriors of the Hammers of Sigmar walk amongst the ranks of mortals they protect, they are often perceived by mortal eyes as impassive statues of lightning and Sigmarite with more in common with celestial entities than mortalkind.[1e]

Notable Transfigured

Relations With Other Stormcasts

There are those among the Stormhosts that fear that becoming transfigured is the ultimate fate of any Stormcast Eternal who goes through too many Reforgings.[1a]
