This is all too convenient, GW abandoning WHFB and replacing it with this bizarre, pointless, none-ranked mass battle Age of Sigmar system, just as Kings of War 2 is preparing to be released. With minis that match the the Elohi and cavalry from the Basileans. Shortly before that, the Space Marine codex introduced units of three for the Thunderfire cannon, the Jotun Hailstorm Cannon conveniently coming in discount three packs. I think it's pretty clear now that Ronnie Renton has been playing the long game. All of this has been perpetrated by an infiltrator - Secret Agent Hewitt. There's a Mantic moon rising

Business Gorillas posted:considering how hard mantic has been pissing into gw's wheaties i'm not surprised at all that a company known for suing the poo poo out of everybody is going to try their best to crush legit competition that's actively trolling them constantly Crushing them? Everything they've done is basically feeding Mantic more customers. Secret Agent Hewitt is James Hewitt, ex-community manager for Mantic who went to work on the GW rules team either late '13 or early '14.

You win the game if you wipe out all the opponents models or 75% of them I was thinking you could easily ruin that system by bringing 400 lovely dudes, but then i realised you could just as legally bring 400 dragons this is really loving stupid

Just bring 40k worth of (by 8th edition standards) guys. No need for "alternative" lists. "My goblin #342 moves 4 inches, goblin # 343 moves 3 inches, goblin...

It actually encourages you to make 75% of your army disposable filler so the remaining 25% can go for the easy win. Welcome back, Vampire Counts supremacy!

In hindsight, all of this probably should have been expected at this point.

The worst part is the rules are literally 40k lite. It's still a giant dicefest with no interesting rules/mechanics.

Hi, I'm pretty dumb. What is to stop me just taking the most powerful units from each race and army?

Skinty McEdger posted:Hi, I'm pretty dumb. What is to stop me just taking the most powerful units from each race and army? Uh obviously the superior game design and balancing GW is known for will ensure every unit you select with a WARSCROLL is equally capable also the good units will cost more, so you'll need to pony up if you want to truly forge your own narrative

What is to stop me just taking the most powerful units from each race and army? well, there's a lot less inertia from me spending half a hour deploying for me to say "lol gently caress you" and walk away from the game, for one two, since writing down lists is for nerds and nothing matters, someone will look at your list and pull out a hard counter from their massive case they had to buy for old warhammer third, i'm gonna kick you in the dick

All this talk of shoving things up asses has got me 'forging my own narrative' if you get my meaning.
