CORE RULES
1.0 Core Concepts
Battles in Warhammer Age of Sigmar arc fought on a surface that is referred to as the battlefield. Each battle uses a scenario called a battleplan, which will explain how to set up the battlefield and how to determine the winner.Each player is the commander of an army. Each army belongs to a faction and is made up of groups of models called units. Models and units in your army are referred to as friendly models and units, and models and units in your opponent’s army are referred to as enemy models and units.
2.0 Tools OF War
To fight a battle, you will need:- A tape measure
- Some dice
- A surface to play on (the battlefield)
- 2 armies of Citadel Miniature
2.1 Measuring Distances
Distances in Warhammer Age of Sigmar are measured in inches ("), between the closest points on the bases of the models you’re measuring to and from. You can measure distances whenever you wish. When measuring the distance between units, always measure the distance between the closest points on the bases of the closest models in each unit. If a model does not have a base, measure to and from the closest point on the model instead.BATTLE TACTICS

1.1 Army Roster
These rules will explain how to create an army roster to prepare for a battle. You can find a blank army roster printable copy below:
1.5 Faction Terrain
Some factions have special terrain features called faction terrain features. Faction terrain features have their own warscrolls. They are not considered to be units, with the following exceptions:- In the combat phase, they are treated as if they were units for the purposes of movement, combat range and being in combat. Units can finish a charge move within 1/2" of an enemy faction terrain feature as if it were a unit.
- They can be picked as targets of enemy abilities as if they were units. They are not affected by enemy abilities that do not involve picking targets.
- Damage points can be inflicted on them as if they were units and they can be destroyed.
- If a terrain feature has any melee or ranged weapons, it can use the ‘Fight’ and ‘Shoot’ Core abilities as if it were a unit.
- Terrain features that have a Move characteristic of 0" (‘-’) cannot move (note that pile-in moves are a type of move).
Some faction terrain features allow you to place a unit on them (this will be clearly specified in that terrain feature’s rules). When doing so, instead of measuring range or visibility to and from the unit that is on that terrain feature, measure to and from the terrain feature instead. Unless otherwise specified, units on a faction terrain feature cannot use FIGHT abilities.
If a unit placed on a terrain feature is removed from it (e.g. if an ability removes them from the battlefield), that unit counts as having left that terrain feature and loses any special role or benefits it had as a result of being placed on it.
| The Citadel Terrain List shows the number of scenery pieces each terrain feature can consist of. If you are using terrain features that are not included on that list, agree with your opponent before setting up the battlefield how many scenery pieces make up each terrain feature. | ||
32.0 Objectives
Many battleplans award victory points for controlling objectives, which are represented by objective markers. Unless otherwise specified, objective markers are round and 40mm wide. Models can move over and end their moves on objective markers. If an objective marker is on the border between territories, it is within all those territories but wholly within none of them. Objective markers don’t block visibility.
