Sigmar forged his realm out of Azyr, Wind of Heavens, into the realm of Azyrheim and took small mortal tribes which had been hiding from Chaos in the Warp and forged them into Demigods, more metal than man within armor made of pure refined Sigmarite. These beings were dubbed the Stormcast Eternals (prepare yourself for facepalm lore writing, as the Stormcast Eternals storm things stormingly with their stormhammers just as much as [[Space Wolves]] wolf things wolfishly with their wolfguns), and created to be the perfect defense against Chaos. Each group of the Stormcast belongs to one of eight Stormhosts. Each Stormhost is analogous to a [[Warhammer 40,000|40k]] [[Space Marines|chapter]] of Space Marines. Foremost amongst them are the poster child faction, [[Ultramarines|the Hammers of Sigmar who bear the regal blue and gold]] and were the first Stormhost, followed by the Astral (dark) Templars who are the monster-killer Stormhost, cursed and brooding figures called the Anvils of Heldenhammer who were forged in a really depressing state and were born as a faction of emo kids, the Hallowed (grey) Knights which are the spiritually consecrated warriors immune to Chaos and so horrifically mangled they were battle-scarred at birth, the Celestial Vindicators who sport a spiffing turquoise armor which somehow ties into their role as Sigmar's new [[Witch Hunters]], and the gold with purple Lions of Sigmar whose power is that they are dreadfully mysterious and can maybe cut guns in half with their mind if the rumor is true.

According to Josh Reynolds the Eternals were not all human men, and were forged out of all mortals Sigmar found. Under the armor could be a woman, an Elf, an Orc, anything not aligned to Chaos.

. So if anyone asks you about [[Female Space Marines]] from now on, give them Stormies and female miniature heads
.
Laboratories within Azyrheim and the mysterious Six Smiths labor night and day to improve Sigmar's forces.

Khorne has new Daemons, the "Khorgoraths" who are mortal men so infused with Khorne's magic their skin becomes like liquid boiling blood with skulls bubbling within, and in time they come to resemble Khorne himself not unlike Great Unclean Ones resemble Nurgle.

Slaanesh
is missing after
he
/she/it left his/her/it's throne room
to
go eat more elf souls
,
but still has followers
.
The fluff originally hints that Tyrion captured
him
/her/it
,
but
Slaanesh's forces
(
who are justifiably freaking out that their god(dess) is missing
) think that Malerion had something to do with his/her/its disappearance. They
are currently invading Ulgu in search of Malerion for clues as to where their god(ess) is. To quote White Dwarf, "THE FORCES OF CHAOS HAVE ARRIVED...BUT WHERE IS THE DARK PRINCE?" The other Chaos Gods are actually happy he/she/it is gone, but the Chaos Gods have always hated each other so that's to be expected.

Slaanesh
gorged himself on souls during End Times until
he
was so bloated he was unable
to
move (just like those creepy porn comics you've read about)
,
and spent post-End Times hiding in a cave while digesting
.
Tzeentch manipulated Khorne into attacking the armies defending
him,
which allowed the Aelfs Tyrion and Malerion to kidnap him which removed him from the Great Game.
