Warhammer Age Of Sigmar (Fourth Edition): Core Rules

About this board game

Warhammer Age of Sigmar (Fourth Edition): Core Rules is a fantasy tabletop wargame for 2–4 players, with games lasting around 240 minutes. Set amid turmoil across the Mortal Realms, it brings a new chapter of epic battles against the rataclysmic rise of the Skaven.

The Vermindoom has brought the foetid sub-realm of Blight City into Aqshy and opened festering rents in reality across the realms. As the Great Horned Rat joins the Chaos pantheon, the Stormcast Eternals of the Hallowed Knights chamber call upon the veteran warriors of the Ruination Chamber to face the spreading corruption.

This edition rebuilds the Core Rules for the first time since 2015, focusing on streamlining, accessibility, and modularity without sacrificing tactical depth. Updated command points and abilities create more opportunities to react during an opponent’s turn, while the refined double turn becomes a tense decision shaped by a clever twist to scoring.

• Reworked core rules designed to reduce friction while preserving strategic nuance
• Updated warscrolls and army rules for every faction
• Revised Matched Play and Path to Glory experiences
• Spearhead, a new game mode playable in an hour or less

Alongside its rules updates, Warhammer Age of Sigmar (Fourth Edition): Core Rules introduces new miniatures and an entirely new game mode. Spearhead uses the contents of each faction’s Spearhead and Vanguard boxes, offering a faster way to experience the battle for the Mortal Realms.
