Warhammer Age of Sigmar (Third Edition): Core Book

About this board game

Warhammer Age of Sigmar (Third Edition): Core Book is a 2021 tabletop battle game for 2 players, providing the essential lore and rules for commanding armies across the war-torn Mortal Realms.

Discover the history of the Age of Sigmar, from the Age of Myth and the rise of civilisations to the devastation of the Age of Chaos and the ongoing battles of the Age of Sigmar. The book explores all eight Mortal Realms—Azyr, Shyish, Aqshy, Chamon, Ghur, Ghyran, Hysh, and Ulgu—as well as the nightmarish Realm of Chaos.

Four great alliances compete for supremacy: Order, Chaos, Death, and Destruction. Each section introduces the factions that fight across the realms and features showcases of beautifully painted Citadel miniatures, bringing the setting’s powerful heroes, monsters, and armies to life.

The core rules cover deployment, battle rounds, combat, magic, and more, followed by three distinct ways to play:

• Open Play: Create flexible scenarios with the Open War Battleplan Generator, combining maps, victory conditions, twists, and ruses.
• Matched Play: Build armies using points-based rules and compete through structured battleplans and additional objectives.
• Narrative Play: Follow a Path to Glory campaign, earning renown, gaining abilities, and expanding your army’s territory across linked games.

Warhammer Age of Sigmar (Third Edition): Core Book also includes rules for siege warfare, multiplayer Triumph and Treachery battles, and deadly tunnel fighting. A rules index and photocopiable Path to Glory, Order of Battle, and Army rosters provide useful tools for organising games and campaigns.
