6 New Age of Sigmar 3.0 Battletomes: Rumors & Previews

Before diving into the announcement, let’s cover some rumors about what battletomes might also be among the first releases for this new edition.

Maggotkin

The boys of Nurgle look to be receiving the first book, it’s been a little over 3 years (at the time of writing) since they received a battletome, so it feels about the right time for them to finally get an update.

We’ve also seen some Rumor Engines that hint toward some Nurgle-looking hints. So, if you play them, be on the lookout for an announcement soon.

Gloomspite Gitz

Again, this is about a 3-year-old book, with how much things have changed with AoS in that time, not to mention a new edition, they need a little bit of work. They are still performing okay but could use some reworks.

We’re not sure what new minis they will get, as their model line isn’t that old. Still, they will probably get a new champion or two, or at least a couple of reworks.

Ogors

Let’s just say we are hoping beyond hope this is true, and that basically, they get a rehaul on almost all of their minis! We don’t even care about the book so much, just the need for some new minis!

A large portion of their units is from before the change over to AoS, meaning they haven’t been touched in years and years. This could be a massive overhaul, or if GW doesn’t feel like it, maybe they just redo a unit or two. Let’s just hope that’s not the case!

Beasts of Chaos

You know an army needs a rework when the pictures on the site for multiple of their units are still on square bases. It’s like GW just didn’t even care enough to change them to the new format over the years.

So, yeah, they need a rework and new minis! Maybe they and Ogors can come in a new starter box together with all new minis! One can dream, but according to these rumors, we don’t have that long to wait until we know for sure

With the rumors out of the way, the actual 2 books announced are Orruks and Stormcast. With all the new minis they are receiving and being in the Dominion box, they will be grabbing the first two books. Now that it’s confirmed, let’s check out the details!

New Age of Sigmar 3.0 Battletomes Announced

As well as the warscrolls for the units in Dominion, these books contain sumptuous new artwork and lore that delves deeper than ever before into each faction. They also expand on the awesome Path to Glory narrative campaign rules from the Warhammer Age of Sigmar Core Book.

Both books include new subfaction rules, and best of all, every battletome in the new edition contains a code that lets you access its rules in the upcoming Warhammer Age of Sigmar app, which is due to head into beta later this year.

The confirmation of digital codes is huge! No longer will you have to pay for separate digital licenses, which if you use both or just like having the option, is a huge new boon.

On another hand, looking at the covers we can see a slight redesign as is normal for new editions, making it easy to spot a current or previous edition book simply by that very clear solid-red spine.
