Introduction
Sons of Behemat are the largest and most impressive armies in Age of Sigmar – literally. They are Mega-Gargants, enormous giants that can be fielded as an entire army or as allies in other factions.
On the battlefield, they are a low-model-count army – you often play with only a few models, but each individual giant is almost as strong as an entire unit. Perfect for players who want an army that is easy to collect, impressive on the table, and extremely fun to play.
Lore – who are the Sons of Behemat?
In the AoS world, gargants (giants) are a common sight – but the Sons of Behemat are the largest of them. They are descendants of Behemat, the World-Titan, and are as much forces of nature as they are warriors.
Unlike disciplined, organized armies, the Sons of Behemat are a loose collection of giants who tear down cities, trample armies, and live for destruction.
