I bet they'll try to do the already annoying upgrade card collecting gist from x-wing, but gw it up so your Aelf Birdfucker has the fly keyword but if you want the rules for flying you have to buy the Bloodwinged Bloodostrich Bloodherd box, webstore exclusive 3 models for only £79,99! Exclusive flight rules expansion for the Warhammer: Age of Sigmar fantasy miniatures game included!

Lord Twisted posted:New "Retributor Armour Spray" to "Effortlessly base your Stormcast Eternals" And the 12ml quick-drying-pot is 4.5€.  Ummm no, I think I'll just go down to the modeling store where Vallejo paints are 2€ per 17ml and come in muted-realistic/bright-fantasy/airbrush lines and more "special effects" stuff than I know what to do with.

Seriously if this doesn't flop in three months, I will be appaled at GW players. Also everything I've heard from People In The Know is that this is it and there's no 9th. However I wouldn't be surprised if we get a rushed 9th edition before the end of the year if this thing really bombs.

And then next year we get 40k: Age of the Emperor. Honestly I think the best that can be hoped for is that AoS doesn't do well and GW just takes their ball and goes home on the fantasy title.

Hilariously. Honestly I don't see 9th after this. A lot of new players will come into AoS and think "Gee you Fantasy players were dumb."

AoS looks totally unplayable so I don't think it will pick up new players. The only people buying this at launch will be desperate Fantasy fans hoping that there's something everyone else has missed and it's salvageable.

That's the worst case scenario really. New people might try Age of S once, realize how bad it is, and just assume the whole hobby is like that and swear off it completely.

From what I can see AoS seems to be great rules for essentially a self-contained boxed game, but once you add even extra models from a duplicate copy of the same set poo poo starts getting massively unwieldy and unbalanced.

I just keep thinking that with a point system and army construction rule that is either fan created or otherwise, the basic rules are still only 'okay'. Movement has nearly no tactical value, no flanking, no forward arc for LOS, etc. The lack of relative values for WS, S/T is just boring as you really only need to worry about getting rending weapons onto high armour targets. Shooting will be way way overpowered since you can shoot in combat and into combat. The mortal wounds rule is stupidly overpowered. Magic is simplified to the point where there is no need to plan the phase, every wizard seems to be able to cast every spell once per turn and there is practically no variability. It's just a *bad game*. This might actually be the best thing to happen for me. I'll have no need for any new models, just keep playing 8th and GW will never see another dime from me on the fantasy side of things. Thanks GW!

The UK Warhammer forum has a dude who played a game - and got sniffy with people slating it who'd only read the rules - and he was all NO THIS IS ACTUALLY QUITE GOOD of course he'd fudged the LOS rules and measured to bases instead, and they agreed on armies instead of the normal deployment rules... So even the people who desperately want to like it are automatically ditching poo poo

A Goblin wounds a Dragon as easily as it wounds an elf. The only stat that really matters for defense is armour now.

At 24m the Newb is asking if his character is part of the unit he's next to, and they have no idea. If characters aren't part of a unit, they are going to be hilariously easy to kill with magic or shooting.

Honestly Fantasy really didn't seem very distinctive from other IPs and would probably have lost a lot as KoW matured anyway but lo and behold, the solution to seeing the check engine light on was to drive off a cliff.
