We are halfway through December, so this Battlescroll hits at a key moment.

Additionally, it lands midway through the current General’s Handbook season. Since Worlds just happened, the studio has fresh event data. Meanwhile, the new year army rush is coming fast. Therefore, this update aims for stability with a few sharp fixes.

A Healthy Meta Means a Lighter Touch

Overall, the studio says the meta is in a good place. Moreover, many factions are performing well at events worldwide. Because this season focuses on Ghyran rules, complexity is already high. Additionally, Scourge of Ghyran recently added new options. Therefore, the Battlescroll uses a lighter touch to keep changes manageable.

There are still targeted points changes and minor rules tweaks. Specifically, problem units like Pyregheists and Sunsteala Wheelas get attention. Additionally, Regiments of Renown are updated to match recent points changes. So those bundled forces now align properly with current costs.

Ghyran Terrain Logic and War Machine Visibility

In the current General’s Handbook, Ghyran terrain lets units hide using dense growth. However, war machines doing this felt narratively off. Therefore, war machines no longer benefit from obscuring terrain effects. So you do not need to imagine massive engines hiding behind vines anymore. This change keeps gameplay clearer and the story cleaner.

Blades of Khorne Take the Spotlight

The biggest change targets Blades of Khorne. Their Blood Drenched ability has been reworked. Now, each time you activate a Blood Tithe ability, you react and choose a buff. Additionally, that buff lasts for the rest of the battle. Therefore, Khorne players can spread power more evenly and reliably.

Summary

This midseason Battlescroll focuses on stability and clarity. The meta is healthy, so changes stay targeted. Points tweaks hit key outliers, while Regiments of Renown stay up to date. Ghyran terrain no longer hides war machines, which fixes a strange edge case. Finally, Blades of Khorne get a meaningful Blood Drenched rework tied to Blood Tithe reactions. Download the update, check your lists, and keep the carnage flowing.
