Warhammer: Age of Sigmar
Hey guys!
Just wondering if any of you play AoS. It's been a little over a year now since I jumped into the hobby and I'm quite enjoying it so far. I've got a Beasts of Chaos and Sylvaneth army. |

Re: Warhammer: Age of Sigmar
Played once at a con a year ago. Was very similar and natural to Heroscape, at least compared to regular Warhammer/40K. I liked the multiple different scenarios and also the dice point system for special powers, with each character having special powers, and the clan having their own with synergy between them. Also liked that all you need is a card for each figure/squad and few cards for each clan and standard power, so no need to reference a rulebook for all the stats and powers.
I also especially like the long range of attacks and "zones", as although you do need a ruler, you don't really need it that often and you can fairly accurately determine if something is in range without pre-measuring. Measuring is one of my major gripes with most wargames, so they tried to remove it as much as possible. If I was to get into another miniature game besides Heroscape I think either Age of Sigmar or X-Wing would be my two choices - I just can't get past the "hobby" aspect of having to paint and the higher cost.

Re: Warhammer: Age of Sigmar
I was I guess talking about Warhammer Age Sigmar: Skirmish

Re: Warhammer: Age of Sigmar
My friend and his wife got starter sets a while back (Nurglings and Dwarves) but I never got into it with them. Today I bought Warhammer Underworlds Godsworn hunt as my girlfriend and I are going to start playing Underworlds once her work study is finished. I believe you can use the Underworld warband in AoS and maybe Kill Team as well but I need to look into it more.

Re: Warhammer: Age of Sigmar
Actually after looking again, I think I played Warhammer Age of Sigmar: Warcry, including Battleplan Cards. I think Games Workshop went a little crazy with too many Skirmish variants in the last couple of years. Again I'd be into playing it, but not into the hobby aspect of it (assemble, painting, measuring, memorizing charts).

Kill team is a separate game played in the warhammer 40k universe. Kill team is essentially the underworlds equivalent for 40k. |

AoS definitely has a steep learning curve, from the hobby aspect to learning the general rules and your army rules. It's not for everyone but I absolutely love the game! |

The StD model range is pretty sweet, from heavily armoured chaos knights and warriors to hordes of barbarians and cultists. They even have a badass leader riding a top a three-headed dragon! Archaon the Everchosen, Exalted Grand Marshal of the Apocalypse. Heck ya, the hobby is a lot of fun! I do warn you though, it's not cheap. It'll cost an initial investment of about $100 on paints, supplies, and tools. Then the models will cost about $200-$300 for a playable army. If you're just interested in painting some cool models, then buy a box for about $50 and have fun! Feel free to ask any questions! Post here or pm. |

Re: Warhammer: Age of Sigmar
Oh for sure, I was into Malifaux for quite a while and between 2 armies and probably 60 or so paints I was already in several hundred and Malifaux armies are much smaller than AoS. I can slow roll a Slaves to Darkness army now and by the time quarantine has let up and I can play at my game store, I will have an army that's ready to play.
