Games Workshop just announced that the new General’s Handbook will be released next month, and they did so with a very interesting video…
Looks like our prediction of an August release of the new General’s Handbook is coming true! Today the Warhammer TV put together a very unique announcement video.
All we’re going to say is… Enjoy?
Get ready to change your game in August. We’ll be taking a closer look at the details right here very soon; in the meantime, let us know what you’re looking forward to on Facebook.
The new General’s Handbook is not going to feature the Path to Glory campaign, but Games Workshop did recently give us an idea of what we can expect to see in it.
The General’s Handbook is to be the mechanism by which the game is continually supported every year, and we’re delighted to announce today that a sequel is on the way.
The General’s Handbook 2017 will again be an invaluable resource for any Warhammer Age of Sigmar gamer.
For open play, the multiplayer rules have been massively expanded, and now include Triumph & Treachery – devious rules for mid-game betrayals.
Narrative players are about to get really spoilt. With Path to Glory soon to become its own stand-alone expansion, this section has been freed up for a huge amount of new content in the 2017 edition. Highlights include rules for siege warfare in the Mortal Realms and Time of War battlefield rules for locations in every realm (even the one’s we haven’t been to yet!).
Matched play is set to get plenty of updates too. These include new Battleplans, new rules of one, and updated points for units in every faction in the Mortal Realms.
Perhaps most excitingly of all are the new Allegiance Abilities. These are much expanded from those four Grand Alliance army-traits from the previous General’s Handbook. The new book will cover Allegiance Abilities for the likes of Fyreslayers, Seraphon, Slaaneshi hosts, Nighthaunts and over a dozen others.
This book is going to be seriously awesome for any Warhammer Age of Sigmar fan.
For those of you with the current edition, loads of the content in there – such as the battleplans, narrative games and campaign overviews – will remain valuable gaming content, so it will be well worth keeping hold of.
The General’s Handbook 2017 is on the way later this year, and like it’s predecessor, will come in an affordable paperback format.
We’re seeing our first major update for Age of Sigmar with this new General’s Handbook. They’ll be adding new rules, updates, and Battleplans for all styles of play, as well as Allegiance Abilities for Fyreslayers, Seraphon, Slaaneshi, Nighthaunts, and more. The new General’s Handbook is due to be releases next month, and it will be in paperback to help keep the price low. So far our predictions of GW’s August New Releases are looking accurate…
