The Blackhammers, being Anvils of Heldenhammer and thus constantly at war with Nagash, loved the version of this story where the Great Necromancer was the one that tried to take Blackhammer’s soul. It seemed that, however they managed it which no one to this day knows, Blackhammer had cheated death one last time. The death god scoured the Realms, but could not find Blackhammer’s soul. When Blackhammer finally breathed their last, the death god smiled, and waited in Shyish for their soul to arrive… But it never did. In the end, they opted for patience, for it seemed that Blackhammer still aged as all mortals do.

However, no matter what this death god did, they could not prove that Blackhammer had prolonged their life with fel powers, or seize their soul by force. What’s agreed is that this figure was a hero, who constantly risked their life for the benefit of others, and yet somehow always survived despite the overwhelming odds that they were faced with, constantly cheating death.Ī death god, and Nagash is the one that is popularly ascribed this role but it could have been another one, took this quite literally, and soon began hungering for Blackhammer’s soul, for a mortal to escape their clutches so many times had become a blow against their pride. They are named after the legendary folk hero, simply known as Blackhammer. It’s an old Chamber, and has fought through some of the fiercest conflicts the Stormcast have fought in the Age of Sigmar.

They’re an Exemplar Chamber of the Anvils of Heldenhammer, so they field a lot of Paladins, among them Améline’s old Retinue of Retributors.
