Warhammer Age of Sigmar FAQs: The New Model
There’s a great year ahead for Warhammer Age of Sigmar.
With a major battletome on shelves with Maggotkin of Nurgle, Legions of Nagash on the way shortly, and the Daughters of Khaine just on the horizon, the Mortal Realms have never been realised in such depth – and that’s before we even mention Malign Portents!
We want this year to be the best ever for your favourite fantasy wargame, and we want to make sure that we can grow Warhammer Age of Sigmar sustainably. To that end, at the Las Vegas Open this past weekend, we confirmed our new model for FAQs, errata and other rules updates.
Keeping a growing game like Warhammer Age of Sigmar maintained is something of a balancing act – we want to find a model that means any issues that arise in your games are dealt with as quickly as possible while minimising any book-keeping or instability in the run-up to major events. Under the new model, you’ll be able to benefit from regularly updated rules while knowing exactly when to expect them.
Firstly, any smaller changes to battletomes will be dealt with 2 weeks after they hit shelves with an errata. This is designed to pick up smaller issues, such as new rules interactions that arise between battletomes as they’re released.
Larger changes to the game will be handled through two big FAQs each year. These will be released ahead of the spring and summer tournament seasons and will be aimed at ensuring the game stays balanced based on our observations from major competitive gaming events as well as the tireless work of our playtesters and the rules team.
Finally, the General’s Handbook will continue to be released annually, with each edition packed with game-changing content for your games. You’ll find updated matched play profiles, new missions, new allegiance abilities and new ways to play, helping to make your games more balanced, and, (most i
mportantly), more fun!
Part of our ongoing commitment to making sure that Warhammer Age of Sigmar is as fun as possible for every player is empowering you to let us know about any issues that arise in your games or any thoughts you may have on balance. To help us gather your thoughts, we’re opening a special inbox –
[email protected]. While we won’t be able to reply to each query individually, we’ll be regularly checking it and taking your feedback into account when we work on our bi-yearly FAQs and the General’s Handbook.
Thanks for joining us in helping to make Warhammer Age of Sigmar the best it can possibly be.
