Warhammer Age of Sigmar: Generals Handbook 2018
An essential toolbox of rules that you and your gaming group can use in any way you like, the General’s Handbook 2018 expands upon the rules of Warhammer Age of Sigmar – and those found in the previous iterations of the General’s Handbook – in a 136-page softback filled with flexible rules which can be combined in virtually endless ways.
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.
Open Play
This is the best introduction to Warhammer Age of Sigmar and the wider world of wargaming in general. Open Play allows you to play unrestricted, even team-based and multiplayer games – all you need is your miniatures, their Warscrolls, the Warhammer Age of Sigmar rules, some dice and a tape measure.
The General’s Handbook features a Battleplan Generator – 5 tables determining how the armies are set up what they must do to win and the obstacles in their way featuring maps, objectives, twists, ruses and sudden death conditions which slot together to create exciting Battleplans – no 2 games ever need be the same.
Rules are also included for aerial battles: in Overhead Aerial Battles, you effectively have 2 battlefields, 1 on the ground and 1 in the sky, whereas in Stratospheric Aerial Battles only the sky is represented – perfect for player with large collections of flying models. An example Battleplan is provided for each, with objective and twist tables helping you generate your own;
