While Spearhead battles move into the depths of Shyish, Matched Play is heading to greener—but no less deadly—pastures.
The Realm of Life becomes the focus for the upcoming General’s Handbook 2025–2026, ushering in a new era of warfare amid blooming jungles and blood-drenched glades.
This new General’s Handbook isn’t just a book—it’s a full boxed toolkit designed to get you straight into the action.
What’s in the Box?
The new General’s Handbook 2025–2026 Box Set is packed with everything you need for the next Matched Play season:
- A 72-page softback book containing updated core rules, new Battlepack content, and lore for the war in Ghyran.
- Battleplan cards and Warscroll cards for Manifestations and Spell Lores.
- Six flexible PET objective marker mats, so you can mark your battlefield right out of the box.
The Battlepack inside introduces a brand-new Season Rule, revamped Advanced Rules modules, 12 new Battleplans, and a significant overhaul to Battle Tactics. For the first time, tactics will now be selected during army composition, forming a sequential path to victory.
Scourge of Ghyran: Free Content for All Factions
Ahead of the new season, every faction will be getting free rules content, including:
- New Enhancement options
- Unique Battle Formations
These will be legal for Matched Play the moment the General’s Handbook drops and available to download from Warhammer Community and the Age of Sigmar App.
Even better? Each faction update will be accompanied by a daily short story, adding rich narrative depth to the evolving conflict in Ghyran.
What’s Next?
The new General’s Handbook marks just the beginning. Scourge of Ghyran is poised to shape the Mortal Realms in bold new ways, and with new Spearheads arriving alongside upcoming Battletomes, there’s never been a better time to dive in.
