PATH TO GLORY - AGE OF UNIFICATION

ENTER THE UNIFICATION WARS

For centuries in the Age of Strife humanity has found itself cut off, isolated from the greater galactic empire it once lay claim to. In these testing times rather
than come together for the good of Terra its populace have descended into bitter rivalry as they consume one another for what precious land and resources
can be scoured from the homeworld.

As genecrafting and radioative fallous from bitter con icts pushes the species to the extremes, psykers become more commonplace be they willing or enslaves
to the armies with which they ght. Phosphex, Thermonuclear weapons and Chemical Warfare all seek to choke the last vestiges of life from Terra Divided.

Nation turns against nation,

Demagogues rise up seeking power in exchange for false promises of salvation,
Madness drives the Techobarbarians to loot and destroy.
And somewhere, buried deep in secret laboratories an ancient gure prepares to reveal him presence.

THE STORY BEHIND THE STATS

Using the Age of Sigmar ruleset grants a whole host of warscrolls to create your forces from, but a key part of doing so is seeing the potential
behind the stats of an existing Warscroll. Below is the warscroll of an Orruk Megaboss with simple name changes to abilities without e ecting the
game mechanics of the warscroll.

FINDING THE RIGHT BATTLETOME

A big part of what drew me to using Age of Sigmar battletomes for the basis for the Age of Uni cation is the breadth and scope of the themes each
brings to the table and the myriad of di erent units each could come to represent.

When selecting your Battletome you're looking for thematic rules that speak to the concept you are trying to portray rather than the speci c lore of
that battletome vs your faction. For example if you are looking for something slow but resilient, that poisons its environment you could look at
Maggotkin of Nurgle, their default Blightking Warscroll packs an impressive 4 wounds, strong save and the faction provides a war that could be
re ective of stimm injectors, force elds or more. is could be used to represent heavy proto-power armour, using their disease rules that infect
anyone nearby to channel that poorly contained reactor on their back bleeding radiation into the environment around them. is way you build a
sci- lumbering power armoured faction whose very presence chokes and poisons the battle elds they ght upon, perfect for waging war in the
Age of Uni cation.
To help with this here are some archtypes for the Age of Sigmar battletomes, not the lore the represent, but the themes that might relate to your
Age of Uni cation armies:

Cities of Sigmar: Default troop is armoured, resilient and handy in combat.

Plentiful Infantry centric warscrolls, ideal for more traditional Ideal proto-power armoured faction
military forces employing alot of ak armoured personnel
Diverse range of weapon options (Hangun-Lascarbine, Long ri e- Idoneth
Long Las, Sisters of Watch bow - Radium Ri e) High mobility, rules to represent sensor disruption and active
Speci c sub themes: Living City (Ambush), Hammerhal (Banners camo age
and `Heraldry), Tempest Eye (Access to Kharadrons for Drones) Two di erent warscrolls ideal for jetbikes, gravboards and bikers for
melee
Stormcast Eternals Ranged and melee infantry choices
Ideal for under Warriors/Custodes, mix of melee and ranged Rules for high wound high resilience ier, potentially portable
warscrolls command station or airship
Warscrolls for Artillery pieces
Can "Deepstrike" representing teleporarums, and explode of death Orruk Warclans
(unstable reactors) Ideal for Technobarbarians
Can access infantry from Cities of Sigmar to represent Imperial Warscrolls for poorly armoured, well armoured and heavy armoured
Army infantry
Heavy Cavalry warscrolls
Kharadron Overlords Kruleboyz warscrolls give the potential for artillery, and personal
Flying Vehicular Warscrolls, ideal to represent combat drones, grav mounted heavy weapons
haulers, hovercra Myriad of monster warscrolls for automata and manned machines
Ranged/Melee battleline unit, ideal for small arms and personal Ossiarch Bonereapers
defence weapons Ideal bionic/automata centric faction
Dedicated shooting unit, ideal for heavy weapons Heavy infantry focus but with resilience as a key trait
Warscrolls for jump infantry for rudimentary jump/jetpacks, grav Relentless disciline to re ect highly trained, highly communicative
boards and more forces
(Credit Lancer Chris on twitter: Can also represent Termite drills to Genecra ed/bionic infantry force
represent tunneling factions hitting underground complexes)
Sons of Behemat
Sylvaneth Big
Plentiful monster sized Walker warscrolls (Treelords 3 variants, Stompy
Kurnoth hunters) for representing manned walkers or Automata Walkers
Deployable terrain, representing shield bubbles, teleport stations,
bunker hatches etc
Teleporting troops choices, high stealth and mobility

Maggotkin of Nurgle
Slow and Resilient

ACTIVE TERRITORIES
A er selecting a narrative Battleplan for a Path to Glory battle each player may select up-to 1 of their owned Territories to become Active for that
battle, an active territory represents an army pulling on the resources or attacking out of a speci c held territory conferring a related narrative
army bonus but risking the territory itself. Players may instead choose not to make any territory active, if they do so no bonus is gained but no
territory is put at risk for that battle.

Players gain the Active bonus listed on their selected Territory for the duration of the battle and when the battle has concluded in the A er Battle
Sequence a player that won a Victory against an opponent with an Active Territory selected may choose to either that territory or complete an
exploration roll as normal. If they choose to seize the Active Territory that territory removed from the defeated players Order of Battle and added
to the Victors, Territory won in this way does not cost Glory.

Example: Two players choose to play a path to glory battle, the “Cities of Sigmar” General choosing to make his Teleportarum territory active to
re ect his army using it to rapidly deploy to the battle, by doing so he gains the active bene t of the Teleportarum for the duration of the battle
(A er both sides have setup, but before determining who has rst turn a player with this active territory may removed D3 friendly units and set
them up again following the setup for that Battleplan).

eir Opponent the “Orruk” Warlord chooses to make their Old Gods Temple active, with the Shamans channeling the raw energy of the Temple
to bring about their magics for the battle (Once per turn a player with this Active Territory may reroll a failed casting attempt).

A er the battle is concluded, if the “Cities of Sigmar” general was victorious they may choose to seize the Old Gods Temple following the trail of
magic from the “Orruk” shamans to their source of “power and seizing it for themselves. Doing so the Old Gods Temple is removed from the
“Orruk” Warlords order of battle and added to the Cities of Sigmar” warlords, alternatively the general may choose not the pursue that
territory, randomly rolling for one as normal and allowing his opponent to keep their active territory.

COHORT BATTALIONS
When playing a Path to Glory campaign Cohort Battalions may be selected in addition to Core or Warscroll Battalions, each re ecting a
themed culture or profession to further personalise your forces on the eld of battle. Cohort Battalions are designed speci cally for path to
glory and reward completing narrative objectives tailors to that speci c Cohorts themes, from siphoning Dark Warp Magic to stealing Dark
Age Tech to sell on the Black Market

A unique feature of Cohort Battalions is their twofold e ects split between Bene ts and Additional, a Bene t applies to the units within the
Cohort on the eld of battle and provides an ability, theme or e ect for units when playing Path to Glory games of Age of Sigmar.
Additionals* meanwhile provide bonuses in the A er Battle Sequence of a Path to Glory campaign, and reward playing to that Cohorts
theme.

*A Cohort only confers its Additional E ect in the A er Battle Sequence if it was used as part of your army in the last battle fought.

table for Heroes located in the Age of Sigmar corebook.

Healing Injuries

Wiseman, Shamans or Bio-Engineer to heal ailments they sustained earlier in the campaign. If they do so removed D3 Renown

CASUALTIES AND RECUPERATION

In the course of a Path to Glory campaign your units may sustain injuries and casualties, reducing their combat e ectiveness as their
numbers dwindle. In the A er Battle Sequence the Path to Glory core rules provide the ability to recuperate models lost from your
units, however in an Age of Uni cation Campaign these rules have been revised to re ect new untrained soldiers being added to a
unit limiting the impact of the units expertise as they do so.

When playing an Age of Uni cation campaign use the revised costs for Unit recuperation, however the Fresh Blood rule is also in
e ect. Certain factions have unique mechanics for recuperation to better re ect their own unique narrative, some are shown below.

RECUPERATION RECUPERATION COSTS

In Step 7 of the Path to Glory A er Battle Sequence you may
Recuperate any units that have su ered casualties in the campaign. If Unit Points Cost Recuperation Cost (Glory)
you do so spend the required Glory on the table below and roll a 0-100 0
number of dice equal to that units Casualty score. For every 4+
reduce that units Casualty Score by 1. If that unit did not take part in 101-150 1
the last battle reduce that units Casualty Score by 1 for every 2+ 151-200 2
instead.
201-250 3
FRESH BLOOD 251-300 4
When making a recuperation roll for a unit from your Order of
Battle, if that roll is successful in lowering a units Casualty Score 301-360 5
immediately reduce that units Renown by D3 (up to a maximum loss
351-400 6
of the number their Casualty Score was reduced by) to a minimum of
0. If this loss of Renown would take the unit below a Veteran 400 7
reshold pick one of that units Veteran Abilities to remove.
