Warhammer Age of Sigmar: General’s Handbook 2017 $40.00

Revised and updated with new ways to play and gaming tweaks based on feedback from the Warhammer community, this is the best way to get bang-up-to-date with Warhammer Age of Sigmar, however you like to play.

An essential toolkit of rules that you and your gaming group can use in any way you like, the General’s Handbook 2017 expands upon the rules of Warhammer Age of Sigmar – and those found in the previous iteration of the General’s Handbook – in a 158-page softback book.

The Rules

Each of these gives you, the player, massive flexibility and choice in the way games are played – they’re designed to make you and your friends masters of your own gaming tables. The different rules have massive scope for overlap; for example if you want to use the multiplayer rules for a tournament, or Matched Play rules for a narrative campaign, you’re totally free to do so.

Collegiate Arcane Mystic Battle Wizards $50.00

Every unit and warscroll battalion in Warhammer Age of Sigmar owes allegiance to one of the four Grand Alliances – Order, Chaos, Death and Destruction – with many having other, more specific Allegiances that can be chosen instead, allowing the use of powerful battle traits, command traits and magical items.

With the updated rules for Matched Play in the General’s Handbook 2017, you can now take up to 400 points of allies without changing your army’s Allegiance, meaning flexibility – create more themed armies using diverse units from your collection. That’s where these boxes come in.

This boxed set has been designed to allow the player to field Battlemage models without affecting their army’s Allegiance, with 4 models hand-picked to add to your army. In the box:

– 4 plastic Collegiate Arcane Battle Wizards, Battlemages with flowing robes and staffs, who feature a variety of modelling options allowing you to demonstrate mastery over the various Lores of Magic.

The box includes 4 Citadel 25 mm Round bases.

Eldritch Ruins $50.00

Sinister, arcane structures that resonate with the powerful psychic energies of their long-passed creators, the Eldritch Ruins are pieces of ancient Aeldari architecture whose purpose may be long-forgotten – but their lethality is every bit as potent as the day they were hewn.

This multi-part plastic kit contains the components necessary to assemble 2 pieces of Eldritch Ruins, overgrown and deadly scenery pieces representative of fearful deathworlds. Covered in symbols and entwined with malevolent deathworld flora, they’ll give your gaming table an extra-arcane look – and they’ll add to your games, as they’re complete with rules for use in games of Warhammer 40,000.

The kit comes as 13 components.

 

Shardwrack Spines $40.00

Shardwrack Spines are an indicator that the world you’re standing on is a deathworld – menacing, bizarre battle zones that only the strongest or the most foolhardy would dare fight on. They form impenetrable barriers that hamper movement, able to mortally wound anything that might come near – their strange shapes and sharp spines can pierce armour as if it wasn’t there.

This multi-part plastic kit contains the components necessary to assemble 5 individual Shardwrack Spines. 3 long bases and 2 short bases are included, with 12 spines that can be plugged into them in any combination you like, making a unique set of deathworld scenery – complete with rules for use in games of Warhammer 40,000.

The kit comes as 17 components.

Barbed Venomgorse $70.00

Covered in alien flora bright and beguiling, deathworlds are strange and sinister places few visit and fewer leave intact. Much of the pain, suffering and death can be attributed to the growth of barbed venomgorse, which snakes toward anything that lives, injecting debilitating neurotoxin with invariably fatal results.

This multi-part plastic kit contains the components necessary to assemble a set of Barbed Venomgorse – 3 individual plants. There are 3 trunks and 3 sets of flora, which go together to make the wild and strange-looking plants – there’s a lot of scope for variety, and no two Venomgorse need look the same.

The kit comes as 43 components, and is complete with rules for use in Warhammer 40,000.
