Time flies when the Realms are burning and dice are hot. Since the General’s Handbook 2025–26 dropped, a clutch of battletomes landed hard.
Moreover, the Codewrights spotted a few kinks once games hit real tables. Consequently, a fresh Battlescroll arrives to sand rough edges and nudge balance. However, it also delivers two important downloads you should grab right away.
The Big Fixes You Need To Know
First, two supplements make missing warscrolls tournament legal again. Moreover, Battletome Supplement: Nighthaunt and Battletome Supplement: Blades of Khorne collect units absent from the new books and keep them valid through 1 June 2026. Meanwhile, the largest rules surgery targets the Scourge of Ghyran version of Pontifex Zenestra. Her Sigmar’s Will no longer yoinks friendly units out of combat and teleports them far away, which finally lets opponents pin key threats. Consequently, expect fewer feel-bad escapes and tighter objective traps.
Faction Tweaks That Change Game Plans
The Kharadron Overlords lose some charge-turn trickery. Skyvessel Cover no longer works when a ship charges, while Assault Boat on Frigates grants Strike-first to only one unit. Additionally, Celestium Burst Grenade is now once per battle, and Scourge of Ghyran Skyvessel Upgrades are renamed to match the new tome. The Blades of Khorne see Skulls for the Skull Throne shifted to Once Per Turn for the army rather than Once Per Battle Round. Moreover, the Scouting Force battle tactic can no longer use faction terrain, which trims some cheeky early scoring. Consequently, both factions play more measured alpha turns and must plan commitment windows carefully.
Points, Profiles, and What Your Roster Feels Like Now
Battle Profiles bring sweeping points updates and a reminder that enhancements can cost points. Moreover, overperformers like Cities of Sigmar, Daughters of Khaine, Kharadron Overlords, and Kruleboyz pay a bit more. Conversely, underdogs such as Seraphon, Stormcast Eternals, Gloomspite Gitz, and Ironjawz get reductions that open list space. Additionally, the Helsmiths of Hashut receive profiles here, though they are not Matched Play legal until their battletome lands. Therefore, double-check your faction sheet and recalibrate breakpoints, drops, and enhancement budgets before your next event.
Summary
This Battlescroll trims extremes, curbs abusive movement spikes, and re-homes missing scrolls for matched play. Moreover, it tightens Kharadron and Khorne tempo while redistributing points to smooth the field. Consequently, armies should feel fairer at the top tables and sharper on club nights. The downloads are live, so update your packs, rebuild your lists, and get reps in. Finally, with the World Championships of Warhammer looming, expect a data-rich follow-up once the dust settles and the trophies gleam.
