The July update for Warhammer Age of Sigmar is now live! The Warhammer Age of Sigmar studio has been hard at work tweaking, tuning and balancing your favourite fantasy wargame. The General’s Handbook 2020 brought new points changes to many armies, aimed at balancing the game for a new season of matched play. However, several battletomes have been released since the handbook went to print, and so the studio team has helpfully provided digital updates. They’ve also taken the chance to make some key updates to some specific armies, such as the Disciples of Tzeentch and Ossiarch Bonereapers – here’s Louis from the studio to explain.
The update includes changes for Cities of Sigmar, Disciples of Tzeentch, Kharadron Overlords, Ogor Mawtribes, Slaves to Darkness and Seraphon – here’s Louis Aguilar from the studio team with the highlights:
Louis: This year’s July update works alongside the changes in the General’s Handbook 2020 to bring all of the battletomes released since October 2019 to as balanced a place as possible.
This update includes a variety of points changes that aim to give our players more to consider in all of the factions mentioned. The biggest changes are to the Gaunt Summoner of Tzeentch and the Petrifex Elite, both of which have generated a wealth of feedback regarding how their rules function and feel to play against. The change to the Petrifex Elite is intended to encourage players to explore the other options that the Ossiarch Bonereapers battletome presents, without taking away the strength of the sub-faction.
We’ve also made changes to recent rules that allow Pink Horrors to be added to your army during a battle. Due to the ‘Split’ abilities of the Horrors of Tzeentch warscroll, a unit of 10 Pink Horrors provided a vastly higher number of models (when split into Blue and Brimstone Horrors) than the other daemon units that appear on the summoning lists. This ultimately skewed the intent of the rules to make Pink Horrors an almost automatic choice. This of course is not what we want our players to feel, so we have accordingly reduced the number of models that can be summoned with these abilities to ensure that one choice does not dominate the rest.
