Warhammer Age of Sigmar: General's Handbook 2020

The essential 2020 General’s Handbook updates the core ruleset to enhance your games of Warhammer Age of Sigmar. No matter how you like to play, there’s something in here for you.

Inside this year’s softback General’s Handbook, you'll find…

The Player’s Code – a set of guidelines to follow, ensuring that each player has a fun and rewarding experience.

New Open Play Rules:
- Skies of Slaughter – Take the fight to the air with high-flying battles amidst the clouds. These rules were previously published in White Dwarf, including five battleplans (called Skybattles), new warscrolls for using flying monsters and engines of war in Skies of Slaughter, and campaigns to link your games together.
- Open War Coalition Battle Generator – Play multiplayer games, with each side split into teams. You’ll fight alongside your teammates to win, but each player also has their own secondary agenda to complete. The new suite of rules and random generator tables will ensure no two games are the same.
