In your Battle Tomes. There's a 2-4 page section detailing them in each.

Death warband tables have been updated to 1.5! This includes the overhaul required due to Soulblight Gravelords, as well as the new & improved starting follower options.

A bit belated with 3rd edition right around the corner, but Destruction has been updated to 1.5! Some minor tweaks, some consolidation of tables, and implementation of the new starting follower options.

UPDATE! Road to Renown will be staying the same for 3rd edition, remaining as an alternate system for those who prefer something different from the new PtG. This will include the continued incorporation of new content from what GW releases (where appropriate).

I am aiming to have the third edition update finished by release day, it will include core battalions (from the core rules) and quests (from the PtG rules) but mostly be rewording to take advantage of new terminology GW has established.

Version 2.0 of the main rules is up! Next is going through the warband tables, followed by the reward tables, then getting the FFA scenario document together.

Main Changes:

-Updated wording to make use of GW's snazzy new terminology, and as always to try and improve readability.

-Champions have been renamed Warlords and divided into three categories based on strength with tailored benefits/downsides to level the playing field between them without simply resorting to a huge spread of starting followers.

-1 renown can now be spent to gain a bonus enhancement of any type (instead of just an artifact) but it must still be rolled.

-Quests can be embarked upon for 1 renown and allow for obtaining bonus enhancements that are picked instead of rolled. Quests are now the means to unlock endless spells, invocations, and battalions.

-Speaking of battalions, most of the core ones are available and as part of updating the warband tables I will be adding lists of warscroll battalions that can be taken from each faction.

-Faction terrain is now free (given that every monster has the capacity to destroy it).

-Restrictions on summoning have been loosened and warbands who wish to invest in that will find it much easier to do so.

Reward tables have been updated! Mostly the same with a few rewordings and tweaks to fit with the new edition but also some changes;

-The Veterans reward has been completely rewritten.

-Deadly Onslaught & Deadly Counterstrike have had the charge-based rend buff increased.

-Soulblight Gravelords have new allegiance-based rewards, replacing the Legions of Nagash and Soulblight ones.

Big update! All warband tables have been updated to version 2.0, taking into account the changes of third edition. Broadly speaking they are quite similar in function, but tables have been restructured & consolidated, a swathe of new options that can be taken as initial followers have been added, most non-monster heroes gained an additional starting follower, and warscroll battalions have been added!

This is the first set of tables done for third edition AoS, I expect there to be some rough edges and at least one typo somewhere so as always please let me know if you have any feedback!

I am now working on an overall update coming alongside the SCE and Orruk battletomes. I will be going through the warband tables again now that I have a solid base of play experience to draw from. If you have any feedback please let me know! In particular thoughts on units that are too strong or too weak would be greatly appreciated, as well as if any rules are confusing to read/understand.

Update still in progress, SCE are like four armies worth of options on their own! In the meantime here are some changes that have been finalized;

-Third edition enhancements will be getting charts listed alongside the warband tables!

-Amulet of Destiny banned entirely; it's impossible to balance around

-Custom stormhosts are in; warbands can pick ONE of the listed traits instead of selecting a normal stormhost

-New quick rules! A one page print-friendly ruleset that goes over the basics in regular English instead of rulespeak, great for campaign organizers who know players can't be expected to read 5(!) pages of rules. First edition AoS didn't even have that many pages!

2.2 update is here!

-Fully reworked tables for SCE and OWC!

-Going forward third edition enhancements will have charts for random rolling put alongside the relevant warband tables, as well as content such as quests. The generic tables have been moved from the core rules to the first page of each warband tables document.

-The Amulet of Destiny has been banned entirely due its warping effect on balance. (Hopefully GW will errata it in the future.)

-Various minor touch ups in wording and formatting to make things more readable and concise.

-Various minor alterations to warband tables, mainly dealing with starting options.

-New quick rules! A one page print-friendly ruleset that goes over the basics in a brief manner for players who don't need/want all the details.

Well it's been a while, times are crazy, Nurgle remains abroad, and GW's Path to Glory content has been... let's just leave it at 'not as good as 40k Crusade'.

But RtR carries on with the 2.3 update!
-Various balance tweaks, as always.
-Warband tables have been gone through to improve availability of 5-man monstrous infantry/cavalry units (to avoid the coherency issues of 6-man).
-Nurgle has been updated to reflect the new battletome.
-Major overhaul to the Rewards to bring them in line with the new edition and cut out some bloat.
-Scenario document updated with new options & updated FFA/Alternate-by-Phase rules which should now be smoother and more intuitive.

I hope you all enjoy!

Made the update a few weeks ago but forgot to post! Fyreslayers & IDK had their new hero added and retinue adjusted for the new warscrolls. Mainly this exists as a holdover until the battletomes come along shortly.

Version 2.4 is up! This time I have a proper changelog:


-Fyreslayers and Idoneth Deepkin updated with their new battletomes!

-Inverted the availability for battletome endless spells, invocations, and battalions; all battletome-specific options in these categories are now available by default unless the warband table says otherwise.

-Moved the exception for terrain features to the core rules on summoning rather than listing them individually on warband tables.

-Expand and Contract scenario objective renamed to Consolidation, secondary objective removal moved to round 5 (from round 4)

-Improved the Savage Warmasters reward, added an allegiance reward for Idoneth Deepkin (it had previously been lost to the tides)



Warband Table Changes

-A large number of Cities of Sigmar warlords received additional starting followers, Freeguild General was removed from the Hero retinue chart to balance against his command ability.

-Added Grundstock Thunderers to the last cell on the Kharadron Overlords retinue table

-In light of their improved allegiance, Beasts of Chaos warlords have had their starting followers reduced back to normal

-Bloodthirster of Insensate Rage reduced to 2 starting followers (down from 3)

-Slaughterpriest added to the last cell of Khorne Bloodbound Hero Follower chart

-Lord of Blights & Harbinger of Decay returned to normal warlord status (from grand warlord)

-Unmounted Terrorgheists & Zombie Dragons brought down in cost

-FEC retinues adjusted to boost Crypt Ghouls and Horrors

-Tweaked the structure of the SGL tables to hopefully be more user friendly

2.5 is up! Changelog:

General Changes
-Exalted follower tables are in! These tables of extra-strong follower choices cost 2 renown to roll on
-Finished the Rewards overhaul; Keyword rewards now stick to central themes and are mechanically straightforward, leaving the more eccentric options for allegiance rewards. Several allegiance rewards have been adjusted to better tie in with allegiance abilities and/or theme of the army, the Light and Heavy tables had some alteration to their qualifiers as well as some minor changes, and a number of new reward options have been added.
-Allegiance rewards are now organized into separate pages based on Grand Alliance
-Added an additional glory for winning an FFA match
-Added a bonus for having extra glory in the final battle of a Rampage Campaign
-Unique enhancements now have a blanket rule exempting them from needing to roll randomly
-The Heroic Rewards rule has been expanded to include any unit that is Single on its pitched battle profile

Warband Table Changes
-Daughters of Khaine and Nighthaunt have been updated with their new battletomes!
-All warband tables have been gone over with particular attention to the overall goal of getting players out of their comfort zone from time to time without being a pain or denying thematic build options.
-Sylvaneth and Skaven were not altered as they will be completely rehashed after the imminent battletome release.
-Most 2-follower starting options can now be found on the Exalted follower tables as well
-A number of armies have had their hero retinue charts merged into regular ones, helping with flexibility and enhancing the element of choice within a given result.
-Retinue tables are now clearly labelled with their respective costs in full
-Order Warband Tables document has been split into main and aelf
-Cities of Sigmar have been reorganized with greater table flexibility to accommodate the unique nature of the army and its themes. Intuitive sorting puts cool units in left column, lame ones on the right.
-CoS have also received a buff to retinues & adjutants to boost the performance of its ‘small’ warlord options.
-Celestial Hurricanum removed, Anointed on Phoenix added with the caveat that it cannot be Living City.
-Hallowheart now requires 1 renown to select so as to even the playing field with other cities
-Chaos gained a new optional rule allowing marked coalition units to benefit from allegiance abilities
-Khorne’s basic retinue table has been reworked into more ‘thematic’ categories that are very intuitive
-Liege-Kavalos moved to Grand Warlord (up from normal)
-With the addition of the hero options the SGL retinue table was split back into Flesh and Bone categories
-Killaboss on Gnashtooth gained another starting follower
-Added a special mercenary option for Ogor Maneaters.

Heads up for everyone; we have some new battletomes coming up and that means an RtR update! I have adopted a general policy of trying to update multiple things at once rather than rapid-fire small updates, so this will incorporate some general purpose updates as well.

Hello, thank you for your interest! I do have a resident Discord server with a Road to Renown channel, found here: https://discord.gg/ZK4JRkG9

Also as a general note, updates were delayed because I had to go out of town for two and a half months for brain surgery.

[edit]To assist others with understanding the behind-the-scenes process of constructing RtR, I have crafted this handy chart as a basic representation!

RtR Changelog 3.0

With all the content in this update it felt appropriate to finally knock things up to 3.0! This is also because previously RtR was mainly just ‘patched over’ from 2nd edition with the intent of seeing how GWs Path to Glory played out before making any major changes. 3.0 marks the decision to move away from GWs PtG entirely and continue designing content for RtR on its own as I have previously (though obviously I will continue to borrow/change terminology to remain consistent where I can, as that helps with understanding).

General:
-Campaign mode names changed to “Matched” and “Narrative” respectively, and some content will now be labelled as being recommended for a certain version.
-Rewards are now called out as being for Narrative, with a new Slim Rewards rule for Matched
-Wording around reinforcing units changed for clarity and to tighten up rule interactions.
-All warbands now start with 2 renown (up from 1).
-All warbands now start with 1 reserve for summoning (up from 0).
-The numerical restriction on summons relating to warband tables has been removed.
-The scenario document has been overhauled, finally completing it with a full scenario generator!
-The FFA and Alternate-by-Phase rules have had updates to their wording (still function the same) and got their own document
-By popular request* I have overhauled how quests work, writing new ones to fit with RtR that people should hopefully find more hospitable than the PtG quests!
*The pun is always intentional.

Rewards:
-Reward results 1 and 2 have been combined.
-The table for Cavalry has been reintroduced.
-Minor tweaks on several reward options for purposes of aligning rules/terminology with battletome releases as well as (hopefully) making them easier to understand.

Warband Tables:
-Tzeentch, Slaves to Darkness, Mawtribes, Sons of Behemat, and Lumineth updated!
-General formatting update with some light balance touches on other warbands
-Arkanaut Admiral moved to grand warlord and Arkanaut Frigate increased to a cost of 5 starting followers (up from 4). Keeping a close eye on how much the transport capacity should be worth and how much it needs to cost before it no longer becomes an auto-take option (would particularly value feedback on this).
-New tomes have warranted adjustment to the Ascention & Damnation rule in order to put some restraints on excessive spawning**.
-Chaos warbands now have a narrative option to play as a “Godsworn Legion” which works along the lines of 2nd edition mono-god allegiances.
-Beasts of Chaos and Blades of Khorne warbands have had their bonus starting followers removed, thanks to the benefits of their recent updates.
**Always.

Hello, RtR fans!* Just wanted to touch on the developments lately with the sort-of release of new Cities and the supplement for Ironjawz. Those are being worked on/completed in good time, I am holding off until the release of the next Harbingers book to see if I will need to do anything to account for the Armies of Renown and then will put up all of those updates together. If you have any feedback, now is the time!



*All three of you!
