GW released a ruleset where ten bloodthirsters outnumbered by a hundred skavenslaves are considered the underdog and get to arbitrarily declare a victory condition. This is it. This is Peak GW

Do that, but run AoS in parallel with WHFB, don't kill one and promote the other. (Even if they plan 9th ed soon, it won't be soon enough).

These rules are both bad and contain enthusiastically vile amounts of buzzwords. It like a Michael Bay film on paper- all flash, no substance, maybe sorta funny sometimes? Not really defending them but I could see the book a adding more rules. I mean it LOOKS terrible but our communities assumption of GW giving away the full rules for free is like me assuming Homeless Rumors Guy isn't going to try to steal my wallet for booze and model money.

Spiderdrake posted:isn't it really loving easy? Like, you have set unit categories (hq, elite, mass, warmachine, donkeys, etc) and then have pre-set game tiers with options for each tier? It doesn't seem hard to make a streamlined set up at all. In fact I thought people introduced this run of rumors with something like that? This is what I don't get. It would have been pretty trivial to give at least a cursory points value to units. I mean we all know GW is bad at pointing things but even a token attempt would be better than "eeeeeeeeeh, just do whatever you want we don't even care anymore".

That'll be what kills the old range with people who play this, with no balance you'd always just choose the most elite models you can get. I imagine in a few months even blood knights or Silverhelms will be regarded as a trap unit.

I'm going to assume the "free" rules are free like a car with part of the radiator and possums living in the cab is "free". I mean technically it is a car, and technically you can have it, but also technically possums are mean and they bite.

How is this going to be able to get people into the game? I mean if you have no ability to judge power ratings how is the game even playable? Theoretically the starter box should provide a close match, which is great. But if then each player buys a unit to beef out their forces it could end up wildly in one sides favor completely by accident. If I wanted to play age of sigmar against someone how would we even build forces out of our current miniatures to be balanced? God drat it GW, why the gently caress is it always one step forward, two steps backwards.

Business Gorillas posted:*quietly passes you a folded up note with a severed nipple in it as an answer* Grade A Warham nipple. Something I thought when reading the rules. Ranged weapons. Can I shoot into a combat going on? Can my archers choose to shoot at another unit while they are engaged with another? Can I decide to point blank shoot the unit I am in melee with? Someone else asked these questions and I also want to know.

These seem like awfully complex questions. I would say, according to the rules, maybe you shoudn't play AoS. Seriously though, yes, there is nothing preventing you from shooting enemies engaged in melee with you. Did you know Possums only live 1-2 years and die of a variety of old age complications, including cancer? They age crazy fast.
