==Basics==
AOS is a very different beast compared to that which it replaces, Warhammer Fantasy Battles. AOS is streamlined, faster, and easier to get into. Just don't mention the dark early days of rage, pain and suffering.

All games consist of multiple (usually two) ''Armies'', playing out the narrative given in a ''Battleplan''.

Each unit in an army will have a ''Warscroll'' describing its own abilities and special rules. Additional abilities are given for grouping certain units which are usually found in ''Battletomes''. As of AOS 3E, variable unit sizes have been scrapped and now every unit only has one set model count - however, you instead have the option to '''Reinforce''' a unit, allowing you to buy two or three units and consolidate them into one bigger blob.

A Battleplan will state which set of ''Battle Rules'' to use in addition to setup, objectives, victory conditions and any special rules.

There are various ''Play Types'' each with their own style (tournament, narrative, league etc) and set of Battleplans.

''Battle Rules'' are simply the ''Core Rules'' with additional restrictions.

===Priority Targets & Prime Hunters===
Introduced in the [https://www.warhammer-community.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/SeAPQtAryX4qcLM9.pdf March 2022 Battleslate] are the '''Priority Target''' and '''Prime Hunters''' keywords. The former tends to be assigned to certain high-wound units, though not all setpiece characters. (e.g. Mega-Gargants, Be'lakor, Morathi, [[WAT|Pink Horrors]]) Each of these targets also has a number of VP they give the enemy should they kill it, incentivizing you to focus on those particular enemies.

Following onto this is the '''Prime Hunters''' rule. Unlike the previous rule, this is assigned to entire armies and gives you an additional VP if you kill a '''Priority Target'''. The armies with this keyword are as follows:

*Sylvaneth
*Gloomspite Gitz
*Orruk Warclans (If they focus on Bonesplittaz, not for any other factions or for a Great Waaagh)
*Hedonites of Slaanesh
*Skaven
*Nighthaunt
*Ossiarch Bonereapers
