The meta has shifted! The arrival of the Battlescroll: Gallet balance update and the General’s Handbook: Pitched Battles 2022/23 – Season 1 have brought considerable changes to Warhammer Age of Sigmar, kickstarting an exciting six-month season of shaken-up scuffles in the Mortal Realms.
Hot on the heels of these two updates – along with the free Pitched Battle profiles – come FAQs for various books and most factions across the game. These formalise the changes found in the most recent Battlescroll, including the new points updates for Hedonites of Slaanesh, changes to the battle traits of the Orruk Warclans, and more.
All these FAQs are available to read and download here:
There are a handful of other changes and answers, highlighted in magenta in each FAQ as usual. The biggest of these is for the Kharadron Overlords, who have received a significant clarification to the rules for garrisoning their SKYVESSELS.
Kharadron flying transports use the rules for garrisons, which were tweaked in the latest edition of Warhammer Age of Sigmar. The FAQ irons out those changes by confirming that units garrisoning an Arkanaut Frigate or Ironclad can still leave their airships in the movement phase – as long as that boat hasn’t already moved in that phase.
What’s more, both the unit disembarking and the SKYVESSEL itself can then move normally – happy times for Arkanaut Admirals all over the Mortal Realms.*
Also of note is the Cross-faction Heroes document, which contains the warscrolls for heroes who can be taken by multiple factions within a Grand Alliance – Kragnos, Archaon, Nagash, and Gotrek are all present in one easy-to-access document.
