- Let Tzeentch take the wheel with The Blue Scribes, scattering spells across the battlefield with only the hand of fate to guide them.

But, many players will be excited to see many of the overall improvements to gameplay:
- We have now removed the victory tickets from the key building capture point in major settlement battles. The only way to now gain victory tickets is to capture and hold the major point. This has been done to allow players to fall back without having to defend multiple locations.
- A range restriction has been removed for reinforcing armies in campaign battles. This will allow players to reinforce to any valid location on a battle map. The increased time will be calculated in the same way and added to the final reinforcement time.
- Wood Elves will now load in to the Wood Elves minor settlement battle map when occupying foreign settlements instead of the forest pathways in which they used to load.
- Beastmen will now load in to the Herdstone minor settlement battle map when occupying foreign settlements instead of the beast paths in which they used to load.
- Ranged units will no longer automatically charge into melee when running out of ammunition.
- Updated the wall zones on battle maps to allow units to dock on both wall sections on Major Empire maps.
- The defender in an ambush battle will now leave the cinematic camera after a set amount of time, stopping cases where the defender would have to watch their stalk unit army slowly walk to the exit.
- Fixed issues with character loyalty when getting reassigned to a faction.
