The thunderous impact of such a weapon can tear through baroque plate or chitinous mutation as if it were paper-thin. These stormsmite greatmaces have each been laid against the head of Ghal Maraz, the Great Shatterer itself, for a night and a day – and over that time they have inherited some of its godly power. Still more formidable are the two-handed maces used by the strongest of the Sequitors’ number. When a stormsmite maul is infused with the energy flowing from the Sequitor’s soul, it discharges the force of each strike with terrible effect, stunning the adversary’s mind into thunderstruck inactivity as it mangles and scorches their flesh. A soulshield so empowered can turn aside even a blow from a daemon-possessed blade or a Hexwraith’s soul-cutting scythe. When a Sequitor’s tools of war are energised with the innate magic of the wielder, the might of the storm flows through them, causing them to glow blue with arcane force. A Sequitor is able to channel magic into the armaments they carry to war – imbuing either their weapon or shield with aetheric power, then moving this enchantment between them to weave fluidly between stalwart defence and blistering attack. Yet there the similarities to the rank-and-file of the Warrior Chambers end. Most wield a heavy and angular stormsmite maul in one hand, and a broad soulshield – somewhat like that of a Liberator – in the other. Key to a Sequitor’s power is their weaponry. When they fight as one, a corona of energy crackles around them, building in intensity to form crowns of corposant that mark the Sequitors as the living weapons of Sigmar. They wear armour of burning sigmarite, thunder rumbles with their war cries, and their weapons glow blue with the power of High Azyr. Towering over the people they are sent to defend, each Sequitor has the strength of three stout men. Sequitors do not consider themselves to be true mages, being at the first stage of their arcane mastery, but to mortal eyes they are supernatural to a terrifying degree. ![]() To be struck by such a warrior is to feel the energy of the storm discharging with thunderclap force. The line infantry of a Sacrosanct Chamber is comprised of its Sequitors, stern warriors who channel the tempest through the magical weaponry bequeathed to them by Sigmar. They have a few magic powers of their own, too – each was a mystic, priest or mage in their former life and now possesses the power to channel energy to their shields or weapons where needed. Like Liberators, these warriors are the line infantry of their respective Chamber but specialise in fighting magical foes, like Daemons and Nighthaunt. The rank-and-file of the Sacrosanct Chamber are Sequitors. A group of Stormcast Sequitors face a Nighthaunt. ![]()
