thebrazenwolfe1 Comment

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!

There is a small update that went unnoticed by many – but faction terrain without a movement characteristic (sorry Feculent Gnarlmaw) can not be the target of the charge ability. Rejoice Seraphon and many other factions you can now put down your terrain on the table and not have to worry about shortening that charge distance between you and your opponent!

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,

OUTDATED – September Battlescroll update – Warhammer Age of Sigmar 4.0 Battle Tactics – GHB 25-26

thebrazenwolfe1 Comment

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.

This has been replaced by the September 2025 Battlescroll update. The below File downloads have been updated to reflect the correct version.

A new Generals Handbook is on the way and with pilfered knowledge I have managed to scrounge together the battle tactics that are present in this next Age of Sigmars Generals Handbook.

While I look at ramping up for another, dare I say better, season for Warhammer: Age of Sigmar the new changes that come with the Generals handbook, the new battle plans and new battle tactics! It’s looking to be a fantastic season to play.

With changes to give better ways to not be shot off the board turn one, to make your army building more streamlined and changes made to to enable easier balancing in the future this is shaping up to be a great season. While many of the mechanics feel familiar for Warhammer: 40k players these are going to be big changes for the players of Age of Sigmar and myself, like many others, are calling it a revamp of the edition (a AOS 4.5 if you will).

Thanks for dropping in for an early Monday update – compared to my normal nightly posts. Don’t forget to come back this week for normal D&D content and I hope, soon, that I will have more Warhammer content coming back into the blog. So don’t forget to warm up those dice and as always, don’t forget your rerolls,

A Brazen Dice Magazine

thebrazenwolfeLeave a comment

So the past few weeks I have spent some time learning 3d modelling, primarily in tinkercad, with the aim to create some useful tools and widgets for both my TTRPGS and my wargaming. A while back I used some spare foam-core board and created a way to store 20 dice in rows so I could easily access the right number of dice quickly without spending ages counting dice.

I, well I call it this regardless, “dicelexia” – I struggle to count dice as they lay on a table. So I try and limit myself to only having 20 dice available at my hands at any one time. When I am not rolling dice actively I would put my dice back in the holder, a “DiceMag” which stored 4 columns of 5 dice for 20 dice in total.

To ensure that it transported well I also sculpted from epoxy-putty a ‘lid’ that encased the entire DiceMag and was secured, quite well, with magnets. However I found out the hard way what happens if you dropped it. Picking up 20 dice in a gaming hall was not ideal.

So a year and a bit later, I think, I got myself a 3d printer and created the second version. Tonight see’s the first prototype (another improved version is ready to print) that improves on getting the DiceMag out of the lid and the strength of the magnets to bind it all together more securely – because, well… Magnets are great.

Version 1

Current Version

The circle, painted to represent my logo’s Brazen Moon is hand painted and something that I might experiment with. It’s designed to be a flat surface to paint on, apply decals or something else to give a creative freedom to who ever has such a DiceMag.

I am sure that I will have other versions of this – but for me this is something fun, useful and perhaps something valuable to the broader community.

Thanks for your interest in my side project!
