warhammer chaos and conquest changing realms

Whether that matters in competitive play, who knows, but it does allow for more flavorful armies and, for Cities of Sigmar, seems like a nice boon to giving access to more toys. This is a pretty interesting new wrinkle (as they are explicitly NOT Allies, but something else). The Broken Realms FAQs make a lot of updates and clarifications to Coalition Units, particularly in Morathi and Teclis.

Whether this change makes him viable at his cost (probably not), it does make him a little more interesting and causes him to clash less with Destruction allegiance abilities. Rather than allied in Destruction he’s now considered part of the army (even if he doesn’t gain the keywords). Kragnos now has the trait of Warmaster, meaning he counts as a general even if he is not your general. This is, as an immediate hot take, Kind of Annoying, as you need to juggle PDFs, but we will make do. These tomes contain more than just their titular hero’s faction, making these FAQs a bit of a mixed bag of topics to talk about. As a reminder, the 4 tomes discussed here are Broken Realms Morathi, Teclis, Be’lakor and Kragnos.

In this article we’ll break down the four together. The four Broken Realms tomes were given Errata for the new edition. In this series of Hot Take articles, we’ll be covering the changes and our initial reactions to them but for more detailed analysis, check back over the next two weeks as we dive deeper into how these changes affect the game and its factions. And as always, we’ve got you covered with the rundown of what’s changed and what it means for your games.

GW released a bombshell of new FAQs last Friday, covering errata for the core book and lengthy FAQs for each faction.
