The Battletome: Skaven is launching in just two days, bringing a swarm of Skaven and their deadly warpstone-fueled arsenal into the Warhammer Age of Sigmar universe. This release comes with a fresh twist on how points are handled for army-building: all points will now be available digitally, and will no longer be printed in the battletomes.
Instead, you can find these points values via a QR code included in the battletome or directly on the Warhammer Community downloads page. This ensures that players always have access to the most up-to-date points values, thanks to real-time updates through Battlescrolls and balance patches. This move is meant to reduce confusion caused by outdated printed points, making sure you build your armies with the correct values every time.
Here’s a summary of what’s new:
- Digital Points: Instead of printed points in the battletome, the new Skaven book will include a QR code to download the most current points values online. These will also be available on the Warhammer Age of Sigmar app.
- Free Digital Access: The points download will be free and available in multiple languages, ensuring all players are on the same page when it comes to army composition.
- Battlescroll Updates: When new balance changes occur, the app and Warhammer Community will reflect these updates, keeping your points accurate.
- Battletome Content: You’ll still get all the amazing Skaven lore, rules, and artwork, so your battletome remains essential for gameplay, even without the points printed inside.
So, if you’re gearing up to command your own ratman horde, rest assured that points values will always be just a click away. Stay tuned for the first Warhammer Age of Sigmar quarterly update coming soon, which will bring the latest balance changes to the Mortal Realms!
