September brings to us a new Battlescroll update and today’s update finds us replacing components of the Scouting force Battle Tactic to make some of it easier (praise Sigmar!) and other parts to try and make it less auto-include. This replaces the previous Warhammer Age of Sigmar 4.0 battle tactics – GHB 25-26 set of PDFs and an update is happening to that page at the same time.
Please see this post for the latest seasonal Rules: New Aqshy – Warhammer Age of Sigmar 4.0 Battle Tactics – GHB 26-27
OUTDATED – September Battlescroll update – Warhammer Age of Sigmar 4.0 Battle Tactics – GHB 25-26
This has since been replaced by the GHB 2026 2027 release. some tournaments may still use these rules but these are now outdated as of 28th of June 2026.
These changes in summary are for Scouting force which now determines Scouts as not just Non-infantry and non-cavalry units starting wholly within your territory but now reads “…which were not set up in reserve using a Deploy Ability…”
This means those great units that are logically scouts, those who get a pre-game move are the ones I am talking about here, are now counted as scouts even if they are outside of your territory! It also saw changes that part 2, Strike, and part 3, Domination, have their completion conditions altered so that the terrain in question must NOT be faction terrain.
For some armies, like Serephon, Skaven, Solblight etc., who have several or large terrain this could pose a tactical disadvantage for including your terrain piece on the battlefield. So this is a positive shift moving forward.
