This essential supplement gives you new ways to enjoy playing competitive Warhammer Age of Sigmar in the first season of 2022-23, including updated battle plans and Pitched Battle profiles for every unit and army. This pack includes two books: a 96-page hardcover General's Handbook and a 34-page softcover Battle Profile book.
In this season's General's Handbook you will find:
- An introduction to preparing Pitched Battles for play in the matching game of Warhammer Age of Sigmar, including guidance on the Battle Ready miniatures painting standard and a comprehensive list of official publications that can be used in Pitched Battles
- Detailed information about Gallet, the wind-swept continent of Ghur where the action takes place. You'll learn all about this barren land, the beasts that inhabit it and the tunnels beneath it
- Region of War rules for Gallet, the Shattered Land, with special rules that focus on reinforcing Battleline troops, a new terrifying Kingdom Sphere spell for all Sorcerers, and an aggressive Kingdom Command available to all players
- Two additional basic battalions that players can include in their army: Expert Conquerors, well versed in taking on targets, and Bounty Hunters, tasked with taking down the most powerful enemies
- Six grand strategies that define your army's objectives in battle, offering victory points if completed before the end of the game, whether you scatter your veterans across the battlefield in a show of dominance or eliminate your opponent's core to show that there is no room for the weak
- Eight battle tactics that you can use to gain the upper hand and earn extra victory points each turn, such as taking revenge for fallen warriors in an eye-for-an-eye game or opting to overpower your opponent's veterans by drawing them away from your objective
- 12 battle plans to start a game of Warhammer Age of Sigmar, with a variety of special rules and victory conditions, such as capturing volatile amber bone deposits in Realmstone Cache, fighting through the winding tunnels of the Paths of Nidus or fighting to the very end in the claustrophobic Turf War.
- Warscrolls for the following 17 infinite spells have been updated: Horrorghast, Aethervoid Pendulum, Chronomantic Cogs, Emerald Lifeswarm, Geminids of Uhl-Gysh, Malevolent Maelstrom, Prismatic Palisade, Purple Sun of Shyish, Quicksilver Swords, Ravenak's Gnashing Jaws, Soulsnare Shackles, Suffocating Gravetide, The Burning Head, Umbral Spellportal, Soulscream Bridge, Shards of Valagharr and Lauchon the Soulseeker
- Basic rules and player codex for the game Warhammer Age of Sigmar
Note: The ring-bound General's Handbook and the layout of the battle plans have been designed to be folded flat to save space, while providing an overview of key information that can be easily referenced once the game begins.
This season's Pitched Battle Profiles book includes:
- An introduction to Pitched Battle Profiles and descriptions of four different types of battlefield roles: Artillery, Battleline, Behemoth and Leader.
