age of sigmar, or aos if youre nasty, is the often maligned successor to games workshops long running warhammer fantasy battle tabletop miniature game. the transition to the new system has been a rough one to be sure. the destruction of the old world setting, and the squatting of some factions, along with sweeping changes to rules that make it play more like 40k instead of being its own distinct thing have left a lot of people bitter or disappointed

however, there are those out there that actually enjoy the new rules, settings, and factions. they may or may not have valid points, but i think its fair that they should be able to make them without being relentlessly mocked. not to say criticism is verboten, but try to be a bit more nuanced here than in the death thread

if you are dissatisfied with this op written by someone who has no vested interest in age of sigmar, and has never even played a game of warhammer fantasy outside of vermintide and the total war game, the old op is much more indepth and you can read it here

thats pretty absurd if youve already bought a bunch of overpriced gw crap and decided to use third party bits to make them look less dumb that it would disqualify you from playing in a gw tourney

making it a bit smaller is a way to add visual distinction to a rather bland looking faction i guess?

Surely there are ways to add visual distinction that don't involve boob plate. It's 2017. Let's move on already.

If it's like the same named section in the General's Handbook, it's a campaign/warband system that lets you upgrade heroes or add units to your warband based on wins/losses. I think they added more warbands (a few were added to the world I guess since the book came out) and missions etc... in the full book.

these are very nice but need more blood and skulls
