A running tracker for Warhammer Age of Sigmar battletomes — what's out, what's on pre-order, and what Games Workshop has actually committed to. We keep confirmed information and rumour firmly apart, because on this game in particular the gap between the two is wide.
Read this before you trust any AoS roadmap
Games Workshop does not currently publish a forward-looking battletome roadmap. They announce Age of Sigmar releases roughly one week ahead, through the Sunday Preview, and reveal models with no date attached.
There is an article on Warhammer Community literally titled “Age of Sigmar Roadmap” that ranks well in search. It is dated January 2022 and describes 3rd Edition. It is four years stale and it catches people out constantly. Anything you read presenting a tidy Q3/Q4 battletome schedule for this edition is invention.
Where the edition stands
- Current edition: Age of Sigmar 4th Edition, launched with the Skaventide box — pre-orders 29 June 2024, released 13 July 2024.
- 5th Edition: not announced. There is a persistent rumour (see below) and nothing more.
- Latest battletome: Ogor Mawtribes, on pre-order now, general release 29 August 2026.

Release years for earlier 4th Edition battletomes are compiled from trade listings and community trackers rather than a Games Workshop schedule, so treat the individual months as approximate. The status column is what matters.
Ogor Mawtribes — on pre-order now
Thirteen kits and a new battletome, the largest Age of Sigmar wave of the year. The Army Set landed 1 August; the main wave ships Saturday 29 August.
- Characters: Morga the Mighty (also builds as a Tyrant on Glutthorn), Redd the Maw the High Slaughtermaster, Grell Firefist, Butcher
- Units: Gluttons, Ironguts, Cleavers and Maulbeast Raiders (both dual-build kits), Hunters with Sabrefangs
- Plus: Okar's Torrbad Regiment of Renown, Battletome: Ogor Mawtribes, Ogor Mawtribes Dice
GW has flagged pre-order delays in Australia and New Zealand. The UK is unaffected.
Sons of Behemat — announced, no date
Revealed 17 August 2026 and worth being precise about, because several sites are already implying a window Games Workshop never gave.
- Ma Maegran, the Chooser of the Mighty — a Gargant witch who can grant or strip the blessing of size. Her kit includes two Ancient Ghyrochs.
- Boss-stompers / Rock-hurlers — one multipart plastic kit building three Gargants, either club-swingers or boulder-throwers. GW places them between a Mancrusher and a Mega-Gargant, which is a genuinely new size tier for the range.
- Battletome: Sons of Behemat — updated rules, lore and gallery.
What GW actually said: “available for pre-order soon”. That's the whole statement. It was not in the 22 August slate, so it's at least a fortnight out. The next Sunday Preview is where a date would first appear, and we'll put it on this page the day it does.

Warhammer Heroes: Cities of Sigmar
Seven blind-box push-fit heroes — Arch-Knight Kenzo the Drake-Blade, Colour-Bearer Brigson, Wildercorps hunter Caul Durnan, Forgepriest Brother Belias, Pyrocaster Ignus Sharn, Fusil-Trooper Brenwick, and one still unrevealed. Coming to selected retailers “later in the year”, no date.
Worth knowing before you commit: Games Workshop has stated outright that a full display of eight boxes does not guarantee all seven models. Buy them for the fun of the blind box, not as a collecting exercise.
Rumours — clearly labelled as such
None of this is confirmed. We're including it because you'll see it elsewhere presented as fact.
- 5th Edition, “The Last World”. The claim is a soft reboot — the eight Mortal Realms merging into one world, a roughly thousand-year time skip, Stormcast losing reforging, a darker tone closer to old Warhammer Fantasy. Suggested window 2027. The origin is a deleted forum post. Interesting, entirely unverified.
- Fyreslayers refresh — inferred from a teaser image in September 2025. No battletome announced.
- Lower confidence still: a Nurgle “Cogfort”, a Hobgrot Slittaboss for Orruk Warclans, a Soulblight Gravelords update.
There is currently no rumoured battletome with a credible date attached. If a site is showing you one, they made it up.
