Age of Sigmar: Slaves to Darkness - Battletome

This Battletome gives you everything you need to play – faction rules, unit warscrolls, and game modes that help you get oriented quickly, even as a complete beginner.
About the Book
Battletome: Slaves to Darkness is the official faction book for Warhammer Age of Sigmar. It explains how to build the army, how to command it on the tabletop, and how to use its main strengths – durability, hard‑hitting melee units, powerful heroes, and a wide range of army‑building options. If you’re starting out, this book will make your first games much easier and help you keep everything important in one place.

What You’ll Find in the Book
- Lore and atmosphere of Slaves to Darkness: Chaos warriors, service to the Dark Gods, and the path to power and damnation.

- Unit warscrolls + clear references for quickly finding abilities during the game.
- Game modes: Spearhead for fast matches and Path to Glory for narrative campaigns.
Gameplay Use
You’ll use the Battletome when building your roster and directly at the table. Slaves to Darkness often work thanks to strong heroes, elite unit support, and well‑timed attacks. The book helps you understand how the units work together, how to set up your army’s playstyle, and how to get the most out of it from your very first games.
Lore and Atmosphere
Slaves to Darkness are the iconic face of Chaos – dark knights, treacherous champions, and armies that pursue glory no matter the cost. The Battletome gives this world a solid framework: you’ll learn why individual warriors serve Chaos, how their paths differ, and what drives entire legions forward. Perfect if you want your army to have a strong story and style.
Who the Book Is For
- For complete beginners who want a strong, straightforward army with a clear gameplay identity.
- For players who enjoy elite Chaos warriors, hard melee pressure, and dark aesthetics.
- For fans of Chaos lore who want inspiration for painting, themed armies, and creating their own warband story.
How It Fits into the Army / Faction
This book is the core “command manual” of the entire faction: you’ll find the rules that define how Slaves to Darkness function on the tabletop and how to build a roster depending on whether you want more elite fighters, heavy cavalry, monster support, or a combination of several dark approaches. If you want to play regularly, in clubs, or competitively, the Battletome gives you the clarity and confidence you need.
What You Need to Play
| Requirement | Why |
|---|---|
| Warhammer Age of Sigmar – Core Rules | The Battletome covers the faction, but the core game mechanics (turns, phases, objectives) come from the Core Rules. |
| Slaves to Darkness Army (miniatures) | The rules in the book apply to the faction’s units – you build your roster and play based on them. |
| Dice, measuring tool, and gaming board/terrain | For rolls, measuring, and scenarios, this is the essential foundation for meaningful objective‑based games. |
Recommended Follow‑ups
| Follow‑up | Recommendation |
|---|---|
| Spearhead: Slaves to Darkness | Want to start playing quickly? Spearhead is the fastest path from box to first game – the Battletome gives you the rules and faction context. |
| Warhammer Age of Sigmar – Core Book / Core Rules | Great if you want to have the complete core rules, scenarios, and a broader overview of the world. |
| Hobby basics: glue, brushes, and paints | Chaos warriors look great both on the table and in a display case – with hobby tools you’ll get the most out of them visually and in gameplay. |
