Warhammer Age of Sigmar players will be familiar with the General’s Handbook – a periodic supplement packed with new ways to wage war. The 2022 volume is the first for the current edition of the game, and it’s bringing big changes to the Mortal Realms.
The action’s still raging across the Realm of Beasts, but while the last Pitched Battles pack was all about fielding monsters, killing monsters, or even turning into a monster, this season brings us back to basics. The latest General’s Handbook emphasises your humble battleline troops – warriors who’ve become veteran survivors of Ghur.
You’ll need these hard-bitten (and literally-bitten, given the wildlife they’ve been fighting) soldiers to claim and contest objectives – with new realm rules, grand strategies, battle tactics, and core battalions to help them do just that.* The book also includes 12 new battleplans – half follow the season’s themes of infantry reclaiming Ghur, while the other six are aimed at more general use.
Whether you’re a tournament champion who’s all about matched play or a narrative gamer seeking new ways to wage war in the Mortal Realms, you’ll want the new General’s Handbook.
The General’s Handbook also includes a Pitched Battle Profiles booklet, featuring updated points (and other battlefield notes) for every faction in the game. This volume’s no different – but while the updated profiles are still included with the book, they’ll also be available for free on Warhammer Age of Sigmar: The App, and right here on the Warhammer Community website!
The Mortal Realms are more accessible than ever, but that’s not all – catch up with the rest of today’s reveals for Warhammer: Age of Sigmar.
