Looking for an Age of Sigmar list you can actually play? This page collects all of our Age of Sigmar 4th Edition army lists in one place, covering 25 factions across all four Grand Alliances. Every faction page has a 1,000-point list built on that army’s Spearhead box and a full 2,000-point list, each with a points table, how it plays and what to buy next.
Every list was checked against Games Workshop’s Battle Profiles, October 2026 points document (published 28 October 2026) and the General’s Handbook 2026-27 army-building rules. Points change several times a year, so always check the Warhammer Age of Sigmar app before a game.

The numbers in brackets are each list’s points total. Lists don’t have to hit the limit exactly. Most finish 0–80 points under, and that’s normal: finishing well under the limit can even earn you an extra command point. The biggest gap is the Sons of Behemat 1,000-point list (920), because every gargant hero costs 370 points or more and nothing sensible fits in the last 80.
What about Khazalite Holds? The new Khazalite Holds battletome doesn’t have points in the October 2026 Battle Profiles yet, so we haven’t written a list for it. If you collect Fyreslayers, our Fyreslayers army list explains how the change affects them, and our Khazalite Holds battletome guide covers the new book.
New to a faction? Start with its Spearhead
Every list above starts from a Spearhead box, because it’s a complete, balanced army for Spearhead games and every model in it carries straight over into 1,000- and 2,000-point games. Our Age of Sigmar Spearhead guide explains the format and links to each faction’s box.
Battle sizes: 1,000 or 2,000 points?
The General’s Handbook 2026-27 battleplans are designed for 1,000- or 2,000-point battles.
- 2,000 points is the standard size. It’s what most tournaments and clubs play, usually on a 44″ x 60″ board.
- 1,000 points is ideal for learning and for quicker games. Many players use a smaller 30″ x 44″ board with fewer terrain pieces.
- Spearhead is a separate, fixed-force game mode. You play one Spearhead box against another, with no points at all.
Our advice: play a few games of Spearhead with your box, then grow it to 1,000 points, then to 2,000. Every list on this page follows that path.
How army building works in AoS 4th Edition
Age of Sigmar armies are built from regiments rather than a free-for-all list. In plain English:
- Pick your heroes. Each regiment is led by one Hero. You need at least one regiment and can have up to five.
- Fill the regiments. Each Hero can take up to three non-Hero units, chosen from that Hero’s regiment options. Your general’s regiment can take up to four. Some heroes can join another Hero’s regiment instead of leading their own, and each one takes up a unit slot.
- Auxiliary units (optional). Units that don’t fit in a regiment can be taken as auxiliaries. The catch is that the player with fewer auxiliary units gets an extra command point each battle round.
- Choose your faction options. Pick one battle formation, then one enhancement from each enhancement table (usually a heroic trait and an artefact of power), a spell lore, a prayer lore and a manifestation lore, where your army has them. Unique named characters can’t take enhancements.
- Reinforce if you want. Reinforcing a unit doubles its size and its points. Each unit can only be reinforced once, and some units can’t be reinforced at all.
- Add a Regiment of Renown (optional). You can include one of these mercenary-style forces from another faction, paid for with points.
- Check the total. Your army must be at or under the points limit.
One thing has changed recently that catches people out: some battle formations and enhancements now cost points. Most are still free, but always check them in the app. Our Age of Sigmar points explained guide covers points in more depth, and our army builder tools guide compares the apps.
What makes a good beginner list?
- Built from what you own. All of our lists start from a Spearhead box, so you aren’t buying units you’ll never use.
- Regiments with a clear job. A good list usually has one regiment that holds objectives, one that hits hard and something fast to grab far objectives.
- Enough bodies to score. Objectives win games, so a cheap unit or two for holding them is worth more than another expensive hero.
- An answer to monsters. Every army meets big monsters eventually. Make sure something in your list can deal with them.
- Simple options. Free battle formations and enhancements that work without much planning are the best place to start.
Frequently asked questions
Is 1,000 points a real Age of Sigmar game size?
Yes. The General’s Handbook 2026-27 battleplans are designed for 1,000- or 2,000-point games. 2,000 is more common at events, but 1,000 is a popular size for learning and for quick games.
How many models are in a 2,000-point Age of Sigmar army?
It varies a lot by faction. Elite armies are small: our 2,000-point Sons of Behemat list is just 11 gargants, and the Lumineth list is 50 models. Horde armies like Skaven or Kruleboyz field far more.
Can I use my Spearhead box in a full game?
Yes. Every model in a Spearhead box has a full Age of Sigmar warscroll. A Spearhead box is worth several hundred points in a full game (the Kruleboyz, Lumineth and Cities boxes come to between 580 and 710), which is why most of our 1,000-point lists add one more regiment to it. The Ogor Mawtribes Army Set is the odd one out: at 1,050 points it’s slightly too big, so our Ogor list leaves five Gluttons on the shelf.
Where do I find official points?
Games Workshop publishes the Battle Profiles as a free download on Warhammer Community, and they’re built into the Warhammer Age of Sigmar app. Points can change every few months, so check before each game or event.
Which faction is easiest for a new player?
Stormcast Eternals are the classic choice: tough, flexible and easy to learn. See our best Age of Sigmar army for beginners guide for more options, and how to play Age of Sigmar for the rules.
Do I need the General’s Handbook to play Age of Sigmar?
Not for casual games. The core rules and the Battle Profiles points are free, and you can play using the free rules and your warscrolls. The General’s Handbook 2026-27 adds the current matched play battleplans and season rules, so you’ll want it for tournaments and most organised club events.
How long does a game of Age of Sigmar take?
A 2,000-point game usually takes around two and a half to three hours, and new players often need longer. A 1,000-point game is roughly half that, and a Spearhead game can be finished in about an hour. Experience matters most: once you know your warscrolls, games speed up a lot.
