Rules, what is where?


Recommended Posts

Hey all,

Personally I do not know and cant find what rules are where with the new 2.0 release.

This is also due the fact that I do not have the money currently to purchase all the books that are released but also because the new rules are scattered throughout 3 different book. I cant be the only one that is a bit annoyed by this move of GW. But the only way to maybe prevent this is the future is to vote with my wallet. Because of this I want to make an overview on what rules are in what book. 

In my mind this is usefull for the community to know what to purchase.

Please comment on what needs to be added/changed

Endless Spells rules are both in the core book and the malign sorcery pack?

Seems some factions are missing allegiance spells in the GHB. Bonesplitterz?

Yes the rules on how to use are both in the Core rule book and Malign Sorcery book, as far as I am told.

Bonesplitterz have an up to date Battletome, Alliance abilities are in this book.

What about the warscroll battalions for factions like Order Serpentis? Are they in the Grand Alliance Order book only? 

As fas as I can find Battalions are only in the Battletomes

They are in the Grand Alliance Book. In the Generals Handbook 2018 there are only the Battalions that were in the Generals Handbook 2017.

@Dongilles

If you mean the Pitched Battle Battleplans, with 6 Battleplans and 12 Battleplans the numbers are wrong. There are 6 Battleplans in the Corebook and 12 in the Generals Handbook.

In the rulebook are the rules for the Balewind Vortex. The Rules for the Spells that are included in the box are only cards (not printed in the Malign Sorcery Book)

Why, Bonesplitters have there Allegiance Abilities including the spells in there battletome. Only factions with a battletome older than Sylvaneth or don't have a battletome have Allegiance Abilities in the Generals Handbook.

They come as a set of small cards with the Malign Sorcery pack.

For some utterly bizarre they arent printed in the books - so hope you dont lose any!

They can also be downloaded for free from the GW website or from the AOS app

The GHB 2018 also contains all the new scenery warscrolls (Baleful Realmgates, Dragonfate Dais ect.). These are significantly different from the old ones.

At present the warscrolls linked from  the prodcuts on GW website don't seem to have been updated. I also cant see them in the AoS app, so correct me if I'm wrong but I think the GHB 2018 is currently the only place to find them.

Isn't this question a little early? The new edition isn't even 2 weeks old.

Well, I'm new to AoS, so I didn't know if the core book had core battleplans while the the GHB was more geared toward matched and narrative or etc.

I'm just trying to figure out what I should get if my friends and I want to get together and play some matched points games. I'm finding it a bit overwhelming how many different places there are for rules/ways to play the game.

I agree with you!

If you play matched play then you'll find that the battle plans in the ghb will be used for the vast majority of games. 

Well in the GHB you roll a D3, on a 1 - 2 you roll a D6 and use the corresponding battleplan for the Core rulebook, so it's a 33/66 split.
