July 2026 brings to us a new Generals handbook that see’s us go to Aqshy! These fiery new Rules come with new Battle Tactics and, with the full reveal in a weeks time, a new way to play! This replaces the previous Warhammer Age of Sigmar 4.0 battle tactics – GHB 25-26 and those sets of PDFs.
New Aqshy – Warhammer Age of Sigmar 4.0 Battle Tactics – GHB 26-27
First off there are new Seasonal rules that come with this new Season of War and so this post includes more than just the battle tactics – but the season rules!
The one exception not included is the change to the Places of Power which I will capture below.
Place of Power: Activate Place of Power
Once per Turn (Army), Start of Any Turn.
Declare: Pick a friendly Hero within 3″ of any Places of Power to use this ability.
Effect: Roll a dice, On a 1, inflict D3 mortal damage on that Hero. On a 2+ pick 1 of the following effects:
- Ignite Fury: Gain 2 Rage dice, then increase your fury level by 2, to a maximum of 7.
- Channel Wrath: If that Hero is a Wizard or Priest, add 1 to casting rolls or chanting rolls for that Hero for the rest of the turn.
- Dizzying Rage: For the rest of the Turn, if that Hero is not a Wizard or Priest, they can use the ‘Unbind’ or ‘Banish Manifestation’ ability as if they had Wizard (1).
The full rule, and some thoughts from a much more esteemed Warhammer player can be found over at Warhammer Community (who own the rules!)
This introduces us to Fury Levels and Rage dice… So its probably a good time to head into the seasonal rules below!

Thanks for dropping in for a bit of an early drop of the rules sources from the internet – but instead of referring to screenshots from youtube hopefully these collated rules prove useful. May the dice be kind to you,
