hey guys I'm researching Age of Sigmar and stuff like that because I'm interesting in the far future to get WarCry, a couple questions:- Are lizardmen considered good guys now? I looked up the lore and they're now part of the 'Order' faction? or is 'Order' morally neutral term in this setting? Do normal human beings exist as units? or is it all golden space marines for the human side? Also, I really really love the high elves minotaur/cattle theme, it really is a super unique look compared with how elves are typically portrayed.

Ok now I know why Age of Sigmar has such incredible mini's they're really expensive compared to 40k even stuff like warcry is on average far more expensive than a kill team box and expansions. the starter set alone is 400-500 dollars and the expansions and teams are more expensive. Still you get what you pay for and those minis are astoundingly beatiful, but if you're gonna pay that much you might as well actually play age of sigmar itself. Actually holy cow it's like a reverse 40k, getting a big collection of normal Age of Sigmar and factions and terrain is actually far cheaper than trying to assemble a warcry collection! that's crazy! it's like the opposite of 40k!

Covermeinsunshine posted:Order is mostly "good" on the back of your average elf, dorf or human being just an average joe trying to make it. Even if we are talking deepkin - you average deepkin is just a poo poo farmer that will kick it before he is 30 and even still will likely see his children die before him (unless they get soul grafts) sorry I meant to say that collecting normal AoS is far cheaper than collecting Warcry, while in 40k, getting a decent collection of different factions and scenarios for KT is far cheaper than normal 40k. the worst KT will ever do to you price wise just to start playing and gaming is around 200 dollars, up to 300 if you buy two different squads on top, warcry looks like it will have an asking price of 600 dollars if I tried the same starting collection. maybe I'm super wrong though! I dunno! I'm probably not gonna get into AoS for another year or so, I'll see what the situation is like then.

thebardyspoon posted:I think War Cry is pretty much the same price as Kill Team as long as you're looking at a current box, it's been going a bit longer than the current Kill Team and is on it's second edition now I think, the latest starter is Heart of Ghur, came out in the summer and that's £90 or thereabouts, in the UK at least, comes with two teams, a board, terrain and all the rules and stuff. You might be looking at an out of print one from before that has much higher prices? ooohhhh I think I understand where my confusion happened, it's because I googled 'Warcry starter set' and got this:- https://www.amazon.com/Games-Workshop-Age-Sigmar-Starter/dp/B07VFKL5QM while the other starter sets like the catacombs and the hearts of ghur are all within normal ranges of 185 bucks or so. I'm a giant moron, all the other starter sets are well within the same price range as Kill team. my bad.

Yeah if I ever get around to warhammer fantasy it's gonna be a real tough choice to make between the Lizardmen and Minotaur Elves, those designs are loving amazing, the moon goblins are also really really awesome especially the squig models. Is Age of Sigmar as complex and long as 40k? I wonder how easy the game is to get into compared to 40k. Al-Saqr fucked around with this message at 14:18 on Nov 10, 2022 |

Beerdeer posted:I played Underworlds last night for the first time in years. I always forget how much I like that game. I’m confused what’s underworld? Is it different from Warcry? Let’s say someone wants to experience AoS but through a smaller package and entry cost like Kill Team, is underworld or warcry a good direction?

Muir posted:Underworlds is probably my favorite game right now. And it's definitely different from Warcry. It's a mix of board game and deck building. You have a war band of 3-7 models, the rosters of which are fixed (no customization of equipment or models included in your team). What you can customize are your cards -- you have a deck of objectives you try to achieve to score points, and a deck of upgrades and power cards to play. Plays in three rounds, in each round you activate a model four times. Plays fast, very strategic. It's not AoS but smaller, Warcry is more like that. There are AoS and Warcry rules for the Underworlds war bands if you want to use the models there, but that's it. Oooooh! This sounds right up my alley! Is underworlds easy to teach normal people? Is it a nice normal length game? If so I might actually go for that instead of Warcry or AoS, it will be a very nice complement side game to my kill team collection If you were to reccomend a starting point for underworlds what do you recommend? I would love to have those wierd Mohawk slayer dwarves or Minotaur elves and lizardmen. Al-Saqr fucked around with this message at 20:27 on Nov 10, 2022 |

Ok the more I look into warhammer underworlds the more I’m sold that this will be a really good complement game to my kill team sessions. Kill team will be my ‘big’ tabletop game while underworlds will be the more casual option. I’ll definitely get this game sooner rather than later. Just to make sure, if I buy Gnarlwood, would I still Be able to buy other warbands like the Minotaur elves/slayerdwarves/lizardmen and it will work just fine? Or do I have to buy the expansions or rulebooks and compendiums and decks seperately?

I tried the videogame version of Warhammer AoS underworlds, I was really surprised how much I really enjoyed the game! it's fast, action packed, easy to learn, a fun deck building and melee combat game, and it's perfect as a more casual game to play along side the more involved 'Kill Team' experience. I am absolutely going to pick up the game! however, because I'll have to ship it across the globe, I would like add some decks and teams on top of the 'gnarlwood' box so that I can have a good collection of stuff and options to last a while. What other teams/decks/accessories do you reccomend? From what I'm looking around casually, the teams that caught my eye are the Vampires, Lizardmen Pirate ogre and the sigmar marines, Sadly the Minotaur Elves seem to be completely gone online which is sad because it's by far my favourite looking group from AoS in general other than goblins. oooh the snake people and fish elves look really cool too! thanks!

I want to give a big fat warning to people getting AoS underworlds, in this case gnarlwood but also direchasm, be very careful with pushing the pegs of the figures into the holes, the plastic is much more fragile than you expect and the way the models are cast means that weak points are located either on or around the pegs, I almost accidentally broke one of the legs of the skeleton knights (thank gently caress I noticed the bend starting before it was too late) and let me tell you the neighbors had a great time listening to the shriek I let out. I think I’ll settle for glue thanks.

peer posted:was it the left leg of the twohander guy YES HOLY poo poo WHO THOUGHT THAT LEG WAS IN ANY WAY GOOD FOR A PUSH PEG it's really annoying because in the direchasm box one of the elves shoulder pads wont close the gap no matter how hard I press the pieces together and got too freaked by the skeleton knights out to try my luck, those things are insanely weak and fragile! I even broke a peg that connected a cape to a back so I had to glue it on, and the top ring of the staff of the cow elf leader was torn in half in the box on the sprue! really bad moulding design, but I managed to fix it, and overrall I'm really excited to start painting them soon.

hey guys, I made a friend who actually has an Age of Sigmar starter set he never played it, so we're gonna crack that thing open to give it a try to see how it works since I've always been curious about it, I'm more of a 40k guy myself but I'm super curious how the fantasy version works if it's more focused on Melee combat. any advice?

hmmmm it turns out my friend has the 2nd edition smallest starter set for AoS, the stormstrike box I dont think I'll be able to get him to buy the third edition rulebook and battletomes unless we both jump into it financially. I think what we'll do is try it and find the very basic rules of 3rd edition online, try the stormstrike box, and if we like it I'll try to cajole him into getting the rules and each one of us gets our own army/battletomes. Now that I think about it, maybe the double turn think makes sense, since the attacker has initiative it makes sense the defender gets a positioning bonus since it's a melee focused game. lets see, I'll let you guys know when we try the game out, thanks for the input!

I might actually try out AOS in 4th edition, but not as a starter box, I'll probably get two boxes of an army of cities of sigmar and flesh eater courts or something. I tried out AoS with a friend of mine a couple weeks ago, take note, this was a small game done with the very smallest basic starter set of AoS, from second edition with the Eternals and ghosts in it. literally two squads of basic units, for the eternals it's was hammer bros and ballistas, for ghosts it was banshees and glaive guys. Two things I noticed 1- What's the point of running around in a map if in the end we have to do melee? are there enough magicians and sorcerers to worry about in the game that cover and positioning and line of sight will matter? 2- It feels like alot of the game is taken up in the actual melee fighting phase, like two thirds of the time was taken up resolving melee combat, can you make more than one squad enter into a fight when there's two people fighting? In 40k I think you're not allowed to charge a unit that's already in melee against another or did I horribly misunderstand something? 3- We never got around to trying out the 'double turn start for the attacker' thing, lets see if that sticks around for 4th. overall it was good, it just felt like everything halted when our units got into melee combat, maybe it's because we were playing a basic 'kill everyone' mission so there wasnt enough dynamism in the mission we played. Does age of sigmar have secondaries and tactical objectives? Al-Saqr fucked around with this message at 16:48 on Mar 15, 2024 |

grassy gnoll posted:Gitz are doing very well, and Cities is in a strong position. What do you mean by holistic block? Yeah im not gonna buy any books, if i were to say what my probable purchases after 4th edition is out it will probably be a box of cities of sigmar and a tie between the Bonereapers and Flesh eater courts. Gloomspite are also an emotional fave for me. Im mostly basing my decision on how cool i think they look. Not much more than that. Theres rumored to be an AoS combat patrol coming out for 4th yeah? So i guess the core rules and two combat patrol boxes would be where i'd go.

Holistically speaking cities of sigmar and bonereapers or flesh court are the armies that make me go 'holy gently caress thats cool' when i see them as a whole, the elve factoons are also incredible but if i were to play the game id like to go for a bloodborne-castlevania look and feel, the vampires are super cool as well but that can be later.

Doing my research into AoS, it does seem like Stormcast went through significant changes each edition to make them more interesting and not just 'fantasy space marines', the miniature quality and overall creativitiy really made huge strides with each edition and the lore was significantly spruced up as well, like for example with their dragon riding and panthers and whatnot. I wonder what they'll do with them in 4th. I'm slowly coming around to them as being interesting rather than just a space marine knock-off.
