Hello again everyone !!

Announced Faction change :

IronJawz

If you’re an existing Ironjawz player, all your allegiance abilities, artefacts, command traits and warscroll battalions will be making the transition to the new edition intact in the latest edition of the General’s Handbook, with a variety of tweaks to points and some rules designed to make your army more balanced and more fun to play.

-Maw Crushas : Points reduction

-Gordrakk : Points reduction

-Ardboys : Points reduction

Everchosen

-negate the Priority change previewed + let you know if you gonna get a double turn

-Archaon : Points reduction

-Varanguard : Points reduction

- Chaos Warshrine : Points reduction

About Archaon command :

We’ve had loads of questions about Archaon’s command ability in the new edition, and how it will function with heroes all being able to use their unique command abilities. Archaon will be receiving some small changes in the new edition, but his command ability will remain almost unchanged – and will still be one of the most powerful in the game.

That's all for now.

Ps : i guess i should start a permanent summary of all the changes previewed

Rules Preview: Command Abilities and Command Points

[IMG: https://whc-cdn.games-workshop.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/05/AoSCommandAbility-May18-Header1rc.jpg]

The new edition of Warhammer Age of Sigmar is absolutely packed with changes designed to make your games feel more fun and characterful than ever before. One of the most distinct and memorable phases of the game is the hero phase, where great generals prepare their strategies and magi unleash devastating sorceries.

In the new edition of Warhammer Age of Sigmar, the hero phase has been expanded to provide a new tactical layer to the game, where every character can contribute and disciplined list-building pays dividends.

[IMG: https://whc-cdn.games-workshop.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/05/AoSCommandAbility-May18-Subheader1g.jpg]

There are loads of awesome command abilities in Warhammer Age of Sigmar, but in the previous edition, some would almost never see play because they belonged to models who weren’t being used as generals. In the new edition, every Hero can contribute and use their command ability, whether they’re your general or not.

This opens up all sorts of possibilities when building your armies – you’re free now to choose the Heroes and command abilities you want, regardless of which general you pick. A Legions of Nagash army, for example, might be led by a Vampire Lord, but you’ll still be able to enhance your Skeletons with the Wight King’s Lord of Bones, or a Khorne Bloodbound force could fight under the command of a Mighty Lord of Khorne while keeping the flexibility to use the abilities of an Aspiring Deathbringer when you needed them.

[IMG: https://whc-cdn.games-workshop.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/05/AoSCommandAbility-May18-Subheader2n.jpg]

There’s a twist, however – to use any of your command abilities, you’ll need a new resource, known as command points. Command points represent the tactical cohesion of your forces – you’ll receive one to add to your pool every turn, and you’ll get an additional point at the beginning of the game per warscroll battalion you’ve used.

This adds a dynamic aspect to the hero phase, where you may want to refrain from using a command ability one turn so you can spend two command points in the next. It also influences how you’ll write your lists, as warscroll battalions will allow you to get more out of your army.

Command points are really exciting from the perspective of army flavour and character, as they allow the rules team an extra dimension to play with when writing battletomes. Future books will feature characters, artefacts, command traits and more that allow you to generate additional command points – or take them from your enemies!

The new and improved command ability system turns the hero phase into a tense battle of wits where heroes unleash their tactical abilities and where you’ll be rewarded richly for careful planning and army building – and it’s just one of the many exciting changes coming to Warhammer Age of Sigmar. Earlier today we had a look at what the new edition means for the Fyreslayers, and be sure to stay tuned tomorrow for even more daily previews right here on Warhammer Community.

[IMG: https://whc-cdn.games-workshop.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/05/AoSCommandAbility-May18-Subheader3s.jpg]

That’s not all! There are now three command abilities every single army and every single general can use – a tweaked Inspiring Presence, At the Double and Forward to Victory:

[IMG: https://whc-cdn.games-workshop.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/05/AoSCommandAbility-May18-CommonAbilities4wxd.jpg]

Inspiring Presence will now only last for a single battleshock phase, but can be used in your opponent’s battleshock phase too, making it a much more reactive ability – perfect if a unit of Brutes you thought were safe suddenly get hit by a deluge of Bravery-reducing abilities you hadn’t predicted, or if you unexpectedly lose the battleshock-mitigating abilities of a Hero like a Bloodsecrator.

At the Double is great for any units that can run and charge, like Bestigors, or units that can run and shoot, like Namarti Reavers under the effects of Flood Tide.

Forward to Victory, meanwhile, helps you ensure your key charges go off. It’s a great way to get around a bad roll or to give a unit arriving 9″ away – like Hexwraiths, or Vanguard Chamber Stormcast Eternals coming round a flank – another shot at clinching a tricky roll.

As you can see, these command abilities all require a Hero nearby, and we’d recommend having 1-3 smaller champions handy alongside your general, like a Crypt Haunter Courtier for the Flesh-eater Courts or a Branchwych for the sylvaneth.

The new command point and command ability system will make your games deeper, more tactical and more fun than before. Whatever your army and whatever your heroes, you’ll be able to control the flow of the game, unleash cunning combos and make the most of your favourite characters.

Command points are just one of the exciting changes coming to the new edition – if you missed it, make sure to check out our look at the tweaks to turn priority and find out what the new edition means for the Fyreslayers.

AoS 2.0 wird ein leichtes "Lookout Sir" gegen Beschuss bekommen!

Zitat von GW

New Edition Preview: Look Out, Sir!

With the new command ability system making Heroes more useful than ever, the last thing you want is to watch a critical support character get shot off the table before they get to do anything interesting. We’ve had loads of feedback from you via our social media, at tournaments and through the AoSFAQ@gwplc.com inbox about targeting characters, and we’ve been keen to balance both sides of the argument – given the relatively small number of ranged units in Warhammer Age of Sigmar, they should retain a niche as hero killers, while at the same time, Heroes should feel difficult to take out and should have some options for counter-Play.

In the new edition of Warhammer Age of Sigmar, we’ve balanced this with a new ability for Heroes that’ll make your smaller and more vulnerable characters a lot more durable at range – Look Out, Sir!

[IMG: https://whc-cdn.games-workshop.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/05/AoSLookOutSir-May20-Rules4hx.jpg]

By keeping your heroes close to your units, you’ll make them much harder for enemies to kill at range. Nifty!

This adds all sorts of interesting tactical dilemmas to the game – from ensuring your Heroes are always covered by a supporting unit to choosing targets – do you make a less efficient shooting attack at a Hero or do you try to take out his retinue first? In melee, meanwhile, you’ll want to try to use your forces to surround enemies and drive a wedge between them and their support. Combined with the new command abilities, we think that the new edition is going to be very interesting for Heroes indeed…

Zitat von GW

Magic is one of the most exciting parts of a game of Warhammer Age of Sigmar, as wizards attempt to destroy their enemies by unleashing deadly spells or support their allies with powerful sorcery. In the new edition of Warhammer Age of Sigmar, this is still the case, but we’ve made a couple of tweaks to this part of the game designed to ensure your battles feel more balanced and interactive, as well as encouraging all players to make use of a more diverse pool of spells.

Magic in Warhammer Age of Sigmar has diversified enormously since the game began, with every new Wizard adding a unique spell (or two!) to the game and battletomes offering each army new spells to choose from. Now, every wizard has an enormous range of options when casting spells.

Magic is most interesting when each army’s magic phase is distinct and defined by the unique character of the wizards involved. To do that, the new edition sees a change to two classic spells – Arcane Bolt and Mystic Shield – to offer more incentive to use the unique spells each Wizard has access to.

https://whc-cdn.games-workshop…May22-MysticShield4gz.jpg

You’ll still find these spells a valuable part of any wizard’s toolkit, but they’ve been toned down in comparison to others.

Unbinding:

Secondly, you can now attempt to unbind a spell – using one of your Wizards to prevent the enemy spell from working – at a massive 30″ range, up from 18″, making unbinding much easier and also giving you a chance to deny your enemy key spells even in the first turn of the game, where you may not have had a chance to move your wizards into defensive positions.

There are all sorts of units you’ll want to add to your armies in light of this new rule. An allied Cygor in a Chaos force, for example, provides two unbinds AND does mortal wounds to your foes when it pulls them off.

Our favourite combo by far has to be using the new unbinding rules with a Curseling, Eye of Tzeentch – should your foe try to cast an Mystic Shield in the first turn, you’ve got a chance at unbinding it from across the table, then using Vessel of Chaos to put it on one of your own units!

If your army doesn’t have a battletome or spell lores to choose from yet, don’t worry – there’s plenty of exciting stuff on the way for all magic users. For example, the new edition brings with it a whole Lore of Magic’s worth of spells for almost every realm, depending on where your battle is taking place.

Here’s one of our favourites that any Wizard can use, for when you find yourself battling in the radiant vistas of Hysh:

https://whc-cdn.games-workshop…-May22-Bamishment20tr.jpg

This is just one of seven spells available in this realm, and that is just one of seven realms you can battle in! That’s nearly fifty new spells to throw around!

And that isn’t even everything magic has in store for you. In another article, soon, we’ll take a look at endless and predatory spells…

Rules Preview: Summoning, For Free!

Summoning is one of the most thematic parts of Warhammer Age of Sigmar – whether it’s packs of Daemons ripping their way into reality, the dead rising from their graves or Seraphon manifesting in glittering beams of celestial starlight. Over the past few days, we’ve hinted at some changes to summoning, so let’s take a look!

In the new edition, summoning has been changed to work better for everyone and to properly reflect the unique character of each army that uses it; after all, calling Khornate Daemons is nothing like raising the undead or summoning the Seraphon, so why should it work the same way on the tabletop?

Rather than summoning units through magical spells, every army that could summon units before now has a unique resource that allows them to bring fresh reinforcements onto the tabletop that fits with their army’s background – if you’ve got the Maggotkin of Nurgle or Legions of Nagash, you’ll have played with rules like this already.

The big change for matched play, though, is that summoning now no longer costs reinforcement points! Instead, you earn your summoned units with in-game actions: bloodshed, spreading plague, mastering magic, and other thematic goals. For some recent armies, this ability works just like it does in your battletome today (but free!). For others, their unique summoning ability will be rolled into their army’s new allegiance abilities, which will be found in the General’s Handbook 2018.

The Hosts of Slaanesh, for example, revel in suffering and pain, both given and received, so they generate points when their Heroes deal or receive wounds which do not slay their target. Meanwhile, the Seraphon generate points by performing rituals with their Slann Starmasters and Saurus Astrolith Bearers.

These changes are great news for any army that uses any form of summoning, offering you more tactical options and thematic ways to influence your games without any downside – we’ll be taking a look at what this means for the Legions of Nagash later today.

Units won’t be the only thing you can summon in the new edition of Warhammer Age of Sigmar – stay tuned for more exciting news on the way for EVERY army later in the week…

Legions of Nagash in the new Edition:

No faction benefits more from the changes to summoning than the Legions of Nagash. Indeed, the book was designed to function around the new summoning mechanic, and you’ll find the Endless Legions command ability – which allows you to choose one destroyed unit and set it up again – an essential part of your strategies. It gets better when you consider that you can use the same command ability multiple times in the same turn – you could well be bringing back two or even three units every turn! Powerful summonable units like Grave Guard, taken in large units, will be highly effective choices in the new edition.

https://whc-cdn.games-workshop…24-EndlessLegions20ht.jpg

Likewise, you can stack command abilities and spells to pull off some pretty evil combos worthy of the Great Necromancer himself. Let’s say we’ve got a block of 40 Skeleton Warriors with spears. Usually, you’d be getting 120 attacks off of these guys – pretty solid stuff! But it gets better…

Firstly, by using the Vampire Lord’s Blood Feast ability, we can give every model in the unit an extra attack, before giving them ANOTHER with the Wight King’s Lord of Bones command ability. That’s us up to 200 attacks – and we’re not done yet.

https://whc-cdn.games-workshop…LoN-May24-Commands1in.jpg

By using a general with the Lord of Nagashizzar command trait, we can give every model in the unit yet more attacks, bringing us up to 240. We’ll want to make sure these all hit, so for good measure, we’ll throw in the Vampire Lord on Zombie Dragon’s Dread Knight ability to give them re-rolls.

https://whc-cdn.games-workshop…LoN-May24-Commands2pp.jpg

Finally, we’ll cast Vanhel’s Danse Macabre on the unit with a Necromancer to let them pile in and attack twice – for a total of 480 attacks that all re-roll misses. Hope you brought plenty of dice!

https://whc-cdn.games-workshop…FLoN-May24-Vanhels9kc.jpg

This combo isn’t just theory-crafting – it uses only three command points and decent Heroes that many Death armies will be using anyway. Should anyone kill your Skeleton Warriors before they get to attack, well, just bring them back!

Meanwhile, Nagash’s magics are well represented with the Endless Spells, and in the new edition, all Wizards will be able to harness the sinister powers of Death. We personally have a fondness for the Suffocating Gravetide – a brutal, roiling mass of spirits that drags enemy soldiers down into the earth:

https://whc-cdn.games-workshop…May24-PulledGrave21hm.jpg

https://whc-cdn.games-workshop…N-May24-Gravetide30nr.jpg

As if there wasn’t enough good news for the Legions of Nagash – we’ve got some exciting announcements about the new Nighthaunt units. While the Nighthaunt will be getting fully realised as a faction in their own right, many of their units will also be accessible for Legions of Nagash armies – so if you’ve been eyeing up the new models, now you’ve got an excuse to pick them up…

Zitat von GW

Magic is changing in the new edition of Warhammer Age of Sigmar, offering you something never seen on our tables before – physical sorceries with models and rules of their own. We’ve teased endless spells before – now it’s time for your closest look yet at one at this great leap forward for Warhammer…

Endless spells are a new kind of magic that ranges from predatory magics that indiscriminately annihilate anything in their path to “utility” spells that provide cover against ranged attacks or allow you to heal Units.

https://whc-cdn.games-workshop…s-May26-Battleshot4wg.jpg

Endless spells are one of the unforeseen consequences of Nagash’s machinations in Shyish. Where previously spells would dissipate naturally, many now take on a life of their own, roaming the realms and accumulating power almost indefinitely. Some wizards in the Mortal Realms have even taken up work as bounty hunters, tracking them down and dispelling them, while certain examples are as notorious as any dragon or beast that lives in the woods, like the legendary Phantom Blade that cleaves through Ulgu.

How do they work?

Most predatory endless spells are damage dealers – the Purple Sun, Ravenak’s Gnashing Jaws and Burning Head are all prime examples. When you set up a predatory Endless Spell, you’ll get to move it – usually over some hapless unit of enemy troops – to deal a deluge of Mortal Wounds.

https://whc-cdn.games-workshop…pells-May26-Purple9rg.jpg

Endless spells are moved at the start of each battle round after determining who gets the first turn, with players taking it in turns to pick a spell to move, starting with the player that has the second turn that round. You’ll be able to move any Endless Spell with this move, not just the ones you control, representing their wild and untameable nature. Summon a Suffocating Gravetide and you might find yourself needing to volunteer to take the second turn in a round to stop your opponent from sending it crashing into your own units! Suddenly, always shooting for a double turn can become a very dangerous prospect indeed…

Other Spells:

Not all endless spells are damage dealing, and a host of them also help your army in a variety of ways. Some will heal your units, some will offer the Wizard controlling them strange new powers, and some will affect your whole army – but might end up helping your opponent, too!

The Balewind Vortex is one such spell, and it has been given a complete rules overhaul in line with the rest of the endless spells.

https://whc-cdn.games-workshop…pells-May26-Vortex20h.jpg

To give you a taste of what you can expect from your endless spells, here’s a couple of Warscrolls to whet your appetite –the destructive Purple Sun and the tricksy Umbral Spellportal:

https://whc-cdn.games-workshop…s-May26-PurpleSun21rf.jpg

https://whc-cdn.games-workshop…May26-Spellportal20tg.jpg

We’re really excited to see what the future brings for endless spells, as the strange and wonderful magical energies of the Mortal Realms are brought to life, with even more to come in the future! In the meantime, if you’re looking to take full advantage of the endless spells when they’re out, make sure you get ahold of a few Wizards.

Rules Preview: Shooting in Combat

While most battles in the Age of Sigmar are decided in the brutal swirl of melee combat, shooting remains an essential part of any general’s tactical toolbox – both in the lore and on the tabletop.

Shooting in the new edition is changing slightly. While you’ll still be able to shoot whilst in combat, you won’t be able to shoot out of it:

[IMG: https://whc-cdn.games-workshop.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/05/AoSShooting-May28-EnemyUnits4kq.jpg]

This makes for a more dynamic game as far as shooting is involved. Taking a few fast-moving, durable units in your army – like Vanguard-Palladors, Chaos Chariots or Gore-Gruntas – will be key for quickly occupying shooting units that’d usually play havoc with the squishier elements of your forces, while defensively, you’ll want to screen your key ranged troops with support troops. The last thing you want is for your precious Celestar Balista to get stuck firing at some Skeleton Warriors when you really need it to take out a Vampire Lord on the other side of the table…

By the same token, your powerful shooting units are still as strong as they’ve always been. Vanguard-Raptors, Arkanaut Companies, Glade Guard – these guys are still great at shooting, but now, you’ll have less impunity over which targets you choose.

With these changes in effect, you’ll find playing with and against shooting armies a more fun and tactical experience, where units like chariots and faster cavalry have a stronger niche while shooting armies aren’t unduly weakened.

Rules Preview – Artefacts of the Realms

The Mortal Realms are enormous, and the factions that fight among them are characterised as much by which of the realms they hail from as by their Grand Alliance. Previously, we’ve seen this represented largely through creative paint jobs and appropriate basing, with some hobbyists using clever conversions to identify where their force comes from, such as metallic Skeleton Warriors that hail from Chamon or moss-covered Putrid Blightkings from Ghyran. Now, in the new edition, you’ll be able to represent where your army hails from with 84 – that’s right, 84! – new magic items.

How it works:

When you’re writing your army list, you have the option to pick a Realm for your army to be from. Perhaps your Freeguild hail from Hammerhal Aqsha, in Aqshy, or perhaps your Slaves to Darkness raid the distant outskirts of Ghur. As well as providing you with loads of opportunities for roleplaying (not to mention painting and converting), you’ll be able to replace one of your normal Artefact picks with a special artefact from your chosen realm.

Each of the seven Mortal Realms has 6 magical weapons and 6 trinkets, artefacts or pieces of armour to choose from, boasting a range of thematic and unusual effects. We’ve previewed a few of these already in our Faction Focuses.

Let’s say you want one member of your army to be a brilliant Bright Wizard from Hysh with a knack for tactics – in this case, you could choose the Aetherquartz Brooch:

[IMG: https://whc-cdn.games-workshop.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/05/AoSRealms-May30-Aetherquartz6k.jpg]

Perhaps, on the other hand, your favourite Aspiring Deathbringer is a monster hunter of renown, with the ability to paralyze beasts with fear. In this case, you could use the Beastcaller’s Bones.

[IMG: https://whc-cdn.games-workshop.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/05/AoSRealms-May30-Beastcaller7e.jpg]

Maybe you just want an excuse to model your favourite Hero with a bow, rifle, sling or other ranged weapon, because it looks cool – well, you’re spoiled for choice for ranged artefacts to pick from:

[IMG: https://whc-cdn.games-workshop.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/05/AoSRealms-May30-Weapons8th.jpg]

You’re free to represent these artefacts on your model how you wish. Some, like the Rockjaws, are already represented on some models, like the trap wielded by the Thundertusk Beastriders. In some cases, you could be more abstract – the Sunderblade could be shown by a particularly fancy paint job on your Hag Queen’s sword. You could even use these artefacts as the basis for some creative conversions – like using a spare bow from the Sisters of the Watch to add a Wraithbow to your Isharann Soulscryer.

Picking a realm for your army, in short, will let you really go to town making characters that are truly yours and unlocking some nifty new combos for your next matched play army. While your decision is a subtle one, it’ll be a great thematic hook for your games – especially when you combine them with the rules for battling in a realm…

Hello everyone !!

In the free ppl faction focus for AOS2 they revealed that a free errata will be released at the same time to make sure all armies are working and generate command Points.

Like several other armies, the Free Peoples will be seeing new mechanics for gaining command points added to their army in the new edition – in this case, with the Battle-tested Veteran command trait. Keep your eye out for several of these in a set of free errata that’ll be coming out alongside the new edition to ensure your army is ready for it!

For exemple Free Peoples get:

It's really easy, you generate point by not casting spell and on you have 6 points you can summon ONE or MORE units from the list.

Soul Wars Announced

The day has finally come. With the new edition almost upon us, we can reveal the culmination of Nagash’s great work and the beginning of a new chapter for Warhammer Age of Sigmar – SOUL WARS.

The boxed Set:

Soul Wars is, without a doubt, Warhammer Age of Sigmar’s best boxed set ever. Hell, it’s maybe the best Warhammer boxed set ever – jam-packed with brand new content for every kind of player, from two armies of never-before-seen models to the new edition’s magnificent core book, and even more besides.

And it can all be yours, available to pre-order on June 16th and in stores June 30th.

Let’s take a look inside, shall we?

https://whc-cdn.games-workshop…oads/2018/05/Unboxing.gif

Let’s start with the models – if these were the only thing in the box, it’d still be an incredible set. Soul Wars is the first place you’ll be able to get miniatures for the new Sacrosanct Chamber and Nighthaunt.

Thanks to some extra-cunning engineering, every single model in the kit is push fit, from your line infantry to the magnificent Heroes who lead each force. If you’re looking to get gaming in the new edition as soon as possible, just grab a pair of clippers and you’ll have both forces built in no time.

The miniatures in this set represent some of Warhammer Age of Sigmar’s most anticipated releases to date, from a bold new direction for the Stormcast Eternals, to Death’s first major release in years.

Representing nobility, justice and defiance, we have the Sacrosanct Chamber – a gathering of magi and engineers who have turned their arts to a singular purpose: annihilation. The box contains a host of warriors from this newly opened Chamber, including the first-ever Stormcast Eternals Wizards and the debut of the Celestar Ballista – the first Stormcast Eternals war machine. You’ll find this set great for bolstering an existing army or kicking off a brand new one.

Facing them are the dread legions of the Nighthaunt, a terrifying new force assembled by Nagash to conquer the Mortal Realms. These are some of the first new models for Death in Warhammer Age of Sigmar, and it’s safe to say the wait has been worth it. Each model is exquisitely detailed, using the latest miniatures design technology to create a force quite unlike any we’ve ever seen before in Warhammer. This is the best way to kick off a new Nighthaunt force or to add a contingent of these ethereal killers to the Legions of Nagash.

That’s a LOT of models! And that’s not all. You’ll also find everything else you need to Play.

Firstly, you’ll find a Getting Started booklet in the set to guide you through your first few games and teach you how to play, so if you’re new and looking for an easy way in, this is it! Meanwhile, the 32-page Battle for Glymmsforge booklet follows the story of the armies in the boxed set, as the Stormcast Eternals encounter the new Nighthaunt for the first time in the opening battles of the Soul Wars.

If you want to learn more about the narrative, you’ll find the first chapter of Josh Reynold’s Soul Wars novel in the box as well (we’ll be sharing more about this later in the week).

Finally, 13 new-format warscroll cards make checking the rules of your models mid-game easy, while turquoise gem dice and measuring sticks mean that you’ll be able to start playing as soon as your armies are built.

And, to top it all off, you get the complete Core Book for the new edition – all 320 glorious pages in full colour and wrapped in a sturdy hardback cover.

So, what’s in this Core Book? We’re glad you asked…

If you’re serious about Warhammer Age of Sigmar, the Core Book is for you – it’s a compendium packed with lore, art and rules and is the ultimate guide for your battles in this new age of war.

The first part of the Core Book takes our closest look at the narrative of the Mortal Realms so far, fleshing out the timeline and taking a look at everything from the Age of Myth, to the capture of Slaanesh, to the Realmgate Wars and the Shyish Necroquake. Sumptuous new art realises the Mortal Realms in gorgeous detail, with sweeping vistas that truly underline the cosmic scale of the Setting.

Next, we move on to a guide to every single one of the realms, designed to add depth and character to each. From maps to timelines and art that shows you what a citizen of that realm might look like, you’ll find intrigue, mystery and plenty of context for your collections and the mighty wars they will wage.

A close look at the factions provides your guide to each of the Grand Alliances. Learn how the disparate forces of Order forge common cause in the free cities, explore the serried hordes of Chaos or learn about Nagash’s dark schemes for the Mortal Realms.

If you’re brand new to the setting, this is the perfect way to get caught up, and even if you know your way around the realms, you may find a few surprises.

And that’s just the first half – the second part of the Core Book is dedicated to playing games. As well as the essential core rules, you’ll find loads of content designed to let you expand your games however you choose. Here’s just some of what you get:

• Realm of Battle rules that let you set your games in the mystical landscapes of the Mortal Realms.
• An Open War Battleplan generator that makes choosing which battleplan you play easy, and some basic rules for multiplayer games.
• A guide to all sorts of narrative play games, from desperate sieges to brutal subterranean warfare, and some inspiration for your own campaigns.
• Six matched play battleplans, as well as Battle Strategies – a new way to score your games that rewards quick-thinking and flexibility.

In short, the Core Book is your gateway to every aspect of the Warhammer hobby, providing you with the tools you need to get started and play the type of games you want to, whether you’re a beginner or a veteran.

The Core Book is included in the Soul Wars box, but for those that want it on its own, you will also be able to pick it up separately.

Sorcery:

Malign Sorcery is by far and away our favourite change in the new edition – it’s an expansion that takes magic and turns it up to 11.

Got a wizard in your army? Get this expansion, and they’ll have 13 new endless spells to play with, summoned sorceries with massive in-game effects. We’ve previewed a few of these over the past few weeks, but now, we can reveal the full list in all of its glory:

Every single one of these spells, along its warscroll card, is in the box. It’s your one-stop shop to a new age of magic, and that’s not even all!

Inside the Malign Sorcery box, you’ll find the full Malign Sorcery supplement – your guide to magic in the Mortal Realms. This book takes a closer look at magical lore in the Age of Sigmar, and the arcane materials that accumulate in each realm, such as Aetherquartz and Cyclestone. There are pages of spectacular new art and background depicting the unbound living magic rampant across each of the realms. You’ll even find painting guides for many of the endless spells, to help you get them ready for your own games.

There’s MORE. Seriously, even without the endless spells this would be a pretty hefty supplement. Skirmish on the Realm’s Edge lets you fight battles with a handful of models in some of the Mortal Realms’ most unstable landscapes as they hunt and bind wild spells for coin and renown. You can even expand your games to Path to Glory, as your warband grows into a fully fledged army gathering new spells to its cause.

For larger games, meanwhile, this book contains no fewer than 84(!) magical items that you’ll be able to use in any game, allowing you to customise your Heroes more than ever before, while the Spells of the Realms add a whole lore’s worth of magic to each of the Mortal Realms, building on the rules already found in the Core Book.

There’s even a set of Pitched Battle profiles, giving you the points you need to use your endless spells in matched play, while two Malign Sorcery battleplans aimed at matched play have a chance of showing up in any of your games where both players bring endless spells.

The General's Handbook 2018:

If you’re ready to take your games in the Mortal Realms to the next level, you won’t want to miss this year’s General’s Handbook.

For matched play gamers, you’ll be able to diversify your games with 12 more battleplans. Using new rules for rolling up which battleplan you’ll play, you can combine these with the battleplans in your Core Book for a total of 18 (or 20, if you include Malign Sorcery)! You’ll have to stay on your toes and build your lists to tackle all manner of possible situations if you want to thrive. Meanwhile, pitched battle profiles provide points for every single Warhammer Age of Sigmar model in the Mortal Realms.

Open play, as ever, remains a treat for those gamers who’re looking for fresh new ways to play Warhammer Age of Sigmar. A vastly expanded battleplan generator allows you to create new battleplans easily (no more wondering which one to choose), while Aerial Battles bring a whole new dimension to your games. Ever wanted to see how a wing of Prosecutors would fare against a pack of Tzaangor Skyfires and Enlightened on Discs of Tzeentch? This is a great way to find out. You can play overhead combat where the battle in the skies can violently affect the battlefield below, or stratospheric battles where aerial units rule the skies and those that cannot fly must perch atop eyries and buildings. A set of unique objectives and twists makes generating new Aerial Battles a breeze.

This General’s Handbook is also an incredible resource for narrative play, offering you some really flexible and powerful rules for designing battleplans of your own and telling rich stories on the battlefield. 43 new special rules allow you to add all manner of strange effects to your games, from showers of meteors to storms of magic and networks of tunnels – combined with the battleplan generator, you’ll be able to create rich campaigns with ease.

Gathering of Might, meanwhile, is designed to let you play your biggest games ever – titanic and climatic clashes that define the Mortal Realms forever. With these rules, games between whole teams of players using hundreds of models are simple. Streamlined rules for deploying and fighting combats mean that you’ll be able to get through these games quickly, while legendary traits, artefacts, spells and gifts of the gods allow you to represent the incredible feats and legendary champions at the hearts of these conflicts.

Finally, for every kind of gamer, the General’s Handbook 2018 contains a new set of rules for summoning for every army that used it before, as well as allegiance abilities for every faction that was featured last year – for reference, that’s:

• Darkling Covens
• Dispossessed
• Free Peoples
• Fyreslayers
• Seraphon
• Wanderers
• Brayherds
• Slaanesh
• Slaves to Darkness
• Skaven Pestilens
• Skaven Skryre
• Flesh-eater Courts
• Ironjawz

Part toolbox, part guide to matched play, all awesome – this year’s General’s Handbook is a must-have for all warlords.

New Paints:

What about painting your new Nighthaunt models? The Hobby Studio (that’s the guys who design all your paints, scenery and other accessories) are constantly looking for new ways to make painting easier, from staples like Agrax Earthshade to innovative technical paints that make effects easy, like Nihilakh Oxide. Nighthaunt Gloom and Hexwraith Flame allow you to create awesome-looking ghostly effects in moments.

Just spray white, slap on a coat of these, and you’re done. We’re serious – here are some examples of how they look:

In the new edition, tactical play is key, and victory could come down to a matter of inches. You’ll want to make sure that every move, every pile in and every charge is as effective as possible, and a great way to do it is with the new Combat Gauge! Made of solid metal, this little device makes small measurements easy and is a great way to quickly resolve combats, check coherency and more.

We first looked at the new objective markers at Warhammer Fest, and they’re definitely worth another look. These models are great for giving your troops something thematic to fight over and each is a characterful little piece that takes a peek at a corner of the Mortal Realms, from some strange, arcane machinery to treasure chests packed with loot. We reckon the markers will be a blessing for scenery builders, too – by combining multiple packs, you could build anything from ancient tombs to gold-filled vaults or strange, magical landscapes.

Last, but very far from least: dice! We love them, and the Hobby Studio have been hard at work designing more. To help you play the new edition, there’s a range of new dice sets available designed to track in-game effects and make working out what’s going on at a glance easy. The new terrain dice, for instance, feature symbols that correspond to those in the rulebook, making adding mysterious terrain effects to your battle simple.

Meanwhile, the Command Dice Set features command point trackers as well as nifty status dice that let you check which units have charged, ran, are currently enchanted with Mystic Shield and so on – no more scribbling in notepads or relying on your memory! There’s also a new set of wound trackers on the way, designed in a brand new shape and engineered not to roll around for maximum reliability.

If Soul Wars has you hungry for even MORE of the new Stormcast Eternals and Nighthaunt models – well, rest assured, there’s plenty more cool stuff on the way. On the release weekend, meanwhile, you’ll be able to grab a range of push fit kits to bolster your forces from Soul Wars. If you’re a fan of the Sacrosanct Chamber, you’ll be able to reinforce your army with some Sequitors and Castigators (not to mention a loyal Gryph-hound!)…

…while Nighthaunt players can add a Deathbeat Drummer to their Glaivewraith Stalkers, or add the shrieking Myrmourn Banshees to their armies – diabolical wizard-hunters with the power to feast on magical Energy.

All of these will be available on the launch weekend for the new edition – and they’re just the start. There are loads more models, boxed sets and books planned, and we’ll be previewing them all right here on Warhammer Community.
