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.

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

You're just crappy at cheating! Just bring 40k worth of (by 8th edition standards) guys. No need for "alternative" lists.

I would also still appreciate some danger.



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!

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

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

If there is no points system there is nothing to stop you taking the best stuff from every 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

Something in the full release/warscrolls, very probably maybe I guess?

You can have the answer to every question about age of sigmor by carving WARSCROLLS into your tender flesh.
