Error 404. Sounds like it might be cool though.

Just found that yesterday and printed it off. It has 2 versions, one for the generals handbook or the core rulebook. Slightly different battle tactics.

Tried a couple of browsers. Maybe my phone just hates me?

Wordpress problems. There actual link in the website is correct and corresponds to the new document, but if you jump straight to the old URL remembered in your browser it's dead because a manual redirect wasn't added. The sitemap still has the 1.0 version up so maybe they originally weren't removing the files as new versions were added.

It's doubled because the latter pages are a printer-friendly version with no background. Looks good. Cheers!

So here's a question, and it kind of relates to my annoyance at releasing a year 1 GHB (or CA in 40k). Do we select battle tactics only from the GHB, or in addition to the list found in the core rules?
If it's meant as an addition, why are some reprinted and not others? If it's meant to totally replace the core list, why bother with a core list at all if they're replacing it day 1?
I'm fine with either way for the tournament (or any game), but it feels like an unnecessary point of confusion.

You can also use battle tactics from your battle tome, only the new ones have them so far and they tend to be pretty niche.

Thank you for this. Should prove helpful.

Yeah, the stormcast ones (grand strategies included) are pretty forgettable. I really hope that trend continues. Putting secondaries into the 9th edition codexes was a terrible idea and I was praying GW wouldn't do it in AoS.
I don't want to see armies who are still playing with a 2nd ed book in a year and a half from now struggling that much more because they lack tailored win conditions on top of the general power creep.

yeah the stormcast ones (finally got my book in) are pretty lackluster for sure. I'd likely only use the ones from the general's handbook as there's alot more options that aren't so difficult to attain.

I'm fine with either way for the tournament (or any game), but it feels like an unnecessary point of confusion. As far as I understand GW's new thing is to release bundles of matched play rules as seasonal "battlepacks" so they have a mechanism to rotate out matched play rules as they want to make changes or mix up the metagame. I only have a vague notion about how this works because GW hasn't explained it well and they use the term 'battlepack' seemingly to refer to 'battleplans' half the time, but basically the valid battle tactics should all be the ones from the GHB because that's the current set of matched rules.
OR you can play with "Contest of Generals" the very light but still complete battlepack in the core book which has a different list of tactics, battleplans etc. which at least allows you to play matched play games with just a core rulebook in a somewhat season-agnostic way.
It seems pretty messy tbh and I'm not entirely clear what the intent was with having some things like tactics dropped immediately for the first GHB...?
