The new edition of Warhammer Age of Sigmar is so close we can almost taste it,* which means we’re due a few updates for all of the factions that’ll be duking it out over the Mortal Realms – and wouldn't you know it, they’re right here. FAQs for every faction currently in the game are available from the bottom of this page, and to take us through how the changes ensure your faction plays smoothly in the new edition, the Warhammer Studio team is on hand to offer their words of wisdom.
Greetings from the Mortal Realms,
With the new edition of Warhammer Age of Sigmar arriving tomorrow, we wanted to let everyone know what they can expect from the accompanying designers' commentaries and errata mentioned here.
Throughout the development of the new edition, we were well aware of the impact that many of the new mechanics and features would have on existing battletomes. We tried to cover as many rules as possible in the Core Book to account for these changes, but many had to be looked at on an individual basis.
These documents are designed to ensure that every faction works as intended alongside the new edition and to bring existing commentaries and errata in line with the rules found in the Core Book.
In some cases, rules have been deleted as they are no longer required, but if a rule has been removed, it's because it has been addressed in the core rules. The commentaries in these documents also include new entries to answer some of the common questions that will arise from these changes.
The way we present our designers’ commentaries and errata is changing too. Going forwards, these documents will be presented in a single PDF rather than across two.
In these new files, we've also included updates for all of the faction terrain, endless spell, and invocation warscrolls that appear across the game. These have all been updated to work with the new core rules and to represent the power that endless spells and invocations will have in your battles.
The overall improvements we’ve made to endless spells and invocations have seen their power increased considerably. We wanted to take this opportunity to really drill into what makes endless spells and invocations unique; how they are both different in terms of background and mechanics; and how they can provide more interesting interactions on the battlefield. We look forward to seeing your responses to these changes.
As always, please do not hesitate to send your feedback on any aspect of Warhammer Age of Sigmar to AoSFAQ@gwplc.com. It can be about points, rules, the observations of your local group, or providing battle reports so we can understand your experiences in greater detail. Any time you can spend sending in feedback is greatly appreciated.
That's all for now, we hope everyone has a great launch weekend!
Thanks to the Studio team. Make sure you join us tomorrow for the Dominion Celebration from 5pm BST/12pm EDT here on Warhammer Community – we’ll be kicking off the new edition in style with a few more reveals and a good old chinwag about what we’re looking forward to. Don’t forget to take a look at the FAQs too, you can get them right here.
* In case you’re wondering, it tastes like licking a battery. Metallic and a little prickly. Must be all the new Thunderstrike gear.
