![]() A 5+ ward effectively gives the bearer 50% more wounds on average. Easily the best option from anything in the universal enhancements and almost seems like a mistake. Still, someone cannot carry more than one relic, and Unique characters can’t have them so depending on your list you may not have enough Heroes to go around that can carry it.Īmulet of Destiny – The bearer has a ward of 5+. You can give artefacts to your general or someone else, and you’re allowed to have more than one. Like command traits, artefacts are powerful traits that let you give some customization to your army. This one is also a double whammy because it also lets you help stop an enemy wizard, making it effective across two phases per turn.Ī Stormcast Eternal. Don’t let this happen! If your strategy relies on a crucial spell going off, take this. In addition to taking D3 mortal wounds your wizard loses the chance to cast any other spells that turn. The consequences for failing to cast are a lot harsher in this edition, particularly with the return of Miscasts for rolling snake eyes. Master of Magic – Once per hero phase, you can re-roll one casting roll, dispelling roll or unbinding roll for this general. Not great! Boring and you have a better option the form of the Amulet of Destiny Artefact (see below) Heroic Stature – Add 1 to this general’s Wounds characteristic. If you’re using one of these prayers, definitely consider this one. It also makes high answering calls like Guidance (down below)more difficult to attain without help. you are just as likely to roll a 1 as any other face on the die (16%), as opposed to magic which is a roughly 3% chance of rolling snake eyes. Since prayers only use one d6 instead of 2d6 the roll is a lot more “swingy”, i.e. Priests are not a new mechanic but are definitely a bigger part of the game than the previous edition. High Priest – You can re-roll chanting rolls for this general. There’s also more ways to use them and while you will only generate them roughly once a game with a 5+, you’ll be grateful for the times you get them. You can no longer buy one outright at 50 points, nor can you rely on warscroll battalions. Command Points were always at a premium and while you do generate more than you did previously (2 for going first with your General on the field, 3 for going second with your general) you’ve also lost some ways to gain them during list building. Another copy and paste and definitely more valuable in 3.0, especially if your Battletome doesn’t have it’s own version of it. On a 5+, you receive 1 extra command point. Skilled Leader – If this general is on the battlefield at the start of your hero phase, roll a die. It’s become even more useful here in this edition, with Heroic actions like Their Finest Hour allowing you an even stronger turn 1 blender to force into your opponent’s face so they cannot ignore it (and possibly use their own Their Finest Hour first to try and survive). One of those ones that get copied and pasted a lot across battletomes, it was always a pretty solid option for Heroes you wanted to get into melee as quickly as possible. This means it’s the only one you can’t buy more of with battalions alone.īattle-lust – You can re-roll run rolls and charge rolls for this general. Command Traits are unique in enhancements because you cannot have more than one (unless a warscroll or battletome says you can), and Unique characters can never have one. ![]() If you’re a new player, command traits are abilities given to the character you’ve nominated as your General that help customize them to be unique from other units of the same name. We’ll get into the specifics but a few are even going to overrule the options that come in your battletome! What ones are worth taking? Read on. I assume this will allow them to avoid repeating those across each tome and will help replace them with much more varied options. As a side note, there are a lot of the same traits and artefacts that are often copy and pasted word for word across many battletomes, such as “make this character a wizard” and “run and charge in the same turn”. The Core Rules also contain a short series of three Enhancements each that any army can take which are the aptly named “Universal Enhancements”.įunctional as both a way for new players to play before they’ve bought a battle tome, many of them are also actually quite good on their own. ![]() As part of your list building phase you get to choose one of each of these, and certain core battalions grant you the ability to choose an additional enhancement on top of those free ones. This includes your Command Trait for your general, Artefacts of Power, Mount Traits, Spells, Prayers and Triumphs. As part of the streamlining of Age of Sigmar’s matched play, all of the extra parts that come after choosing your units have been combined under one heading called “Enhancements”.
