General’s Handbook 2025-2026: Fresh Rules for Matched Play

The General’s Handbook 2025-2026 transforms Matched Play. Spanning 72 pages, it brings sequential Battle Tactics chosen during army creation. This setup rewards smart planning and quick thinking. Ghyran-inspired rules add natural elements like entangling vines or healing auras, making battles feel alive.

It comes with six Battle Tactics cards, six Battleplan cards, a rules reference, and 13 Universal Manifestations warscrolls. Six non-slip objective markers, styled after Oakenbrow and Gnarlroot, ensure practical play. Free warscroll updates keep every Warhammer Age of Sigmar faction competitive, perfect for all players.

Spearhead: Sand & Bone Brings Quick Battles

Spearhead mode delivers fast, fun Warhammer Age of Sigmar games, and the Sand & Bone expansion shines. Set in the eerie Realm of Shyish, it includes six terrain pieces, a double-sided gameboard, and a 24-page battlepack. The 36 Spearhead cards offer twists and tactics for varied gameplay.

Four new Spearhead armies make starting easy:

• Sunblooded Prowlers (Seraphon): Saurus-led with Terrawings and Spawn of Chotec for aggressive play.

• Fusil-platoon (Cities of Sigmar): Precise shooters with 410 decals for custom looks.

• Mortisan Elite (Ossiarch Bonereapers): Tough constructs with soul-driven mechanics.

• Scrapglutt (Ogor Mawtribes): Hard-hitting Ogors with a chaotic Gnoblar Scraplauncher.

These sets are great for quick matches or growing your Warhammer Age of Sigmar collection.

Faction Updates: Nighthaunt, Seraphon, and Beyond

Nighthaunt’s updated battletome boosts their ghostly wave attacks. New models like Lord Vitriolic add strong leadership. Seraphon’s summoning gets a lift, with the Sunblooded Prowlers showing off their starry magic. These tweaks make both factions shine in Warhammer Age of Sigmar battles.

Ogor Mawtribes gain speed with the Scrapglutt’s Gnoblar Scraplauncher. Blades of Khorne and Kharadron Overlords carry over summer updates, with models like the Deathbringer and Zontari Endrin Dock. Regular balance dataslates ensure a fair and fun Warhammer Age of Sigmar meta.

Helsmiths of Hashut: A Bold New Faction

Late Fall 2025 welcomes the Helsmiths of Hashut, a reimagined Chaos Dwarfs faction. These volcanic warriors wield brutal, forge-crafted weapons. Expect units like Daemonsmith/Ashen Elder, Bull Centaurs, Infernal Razers, Hobgrot Vandalz, and Urak Tarr on Ghorrakos.

The release includes a special-edition Battletome, a standard hardcover, a Gamer’s edition, and two Regiments of Renown. Set for around October 2025, this faction blends nostalgia with fresh Warhammer Age of Sigmar flair, exciting old and new players alike.

Narrative Campaigns and Community Fun

Path to Glory campaigns get Ghyran-themed updates, with living landscapes shaping battles. Warhammer Underworlds and Warcry bands, like Borgit’s Beastgrabbaz, tie into Warhammer Age of Sigmar, deepening the lore. Community events and Adepticon recaps promote inclusive play styles.

Games Workshop keeps things fresh with free content drops and warscroll redesigns. These ensure every Warhammer Age of Sigmar army stays relevant. Narrative campaigns let players craft unique stories, making each battle personal and epic.
