@The Mattler, why are you still on this thread trying to argue the positives of AoS when the thread is literally intended for people who are discontented with the new system? GW has already ruined our gaming system. There are numerous threads dedicated to the positive outlooks of AoS, go post on th...

The Mattler I will not reply to your bullshit posts any further, pleas stop commenting mine. Thank you. No. On a public forum, it's hypocritical to demand that the validity of your claims cannot be questioned, even indirectly by attempting to ban dialogue between two parties. If you have evidence t...

No single Warscroll may contain more than X wounds (i.e. 24) Although it's a shame to see a global maximum number of units creep in, the other recommendations aren't so bad, but this one is because damage output and armour saves alter the quality of the model per wound. They should be focussing the...

It's no fun to dice roll a player off the table. That's not included in my requirements for fun, but it's not a deal-breaker for me. If it's a deal-breaker for you, stop playing GW games, since dice rolling a player off the table is the central feature of their game mechanics. It may or may not pla...

But if you want to play a skirmish game , go play Infinity its amazing, not just rather fun. I agree, Infinity is an amazing skirmish game, but ranking up your dudes is still a smart idea in AoS. The large scale battles still work, and as some of the other forum members have already posted, many of...

Screaming Bell + Kairos. This is not a game. Since you're spreading that rumour, I'll say here what I said in the Rick Priestly thread: The possible results of a D6 are 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, or 6; Kairos does not have the ability to set the dice roll to any other number. In the Oracle of Eternity rule, if...

If you're enjoying AoS, great for you. Now try to play at least semi-competitively, face Screaming Bell and Kairos or a single scarab swarm and insta lose with no chance to win. 1) It's a permissive rule set, so you cannot pick a number other than those provided by the dice. The possible results of...

In one breath you're wondering why I might query the imbalance in the game.....the next you're agreeing about the lack of balance. I'm not out for a scrap or an argument, but which is it? Is the game balanced? Yes or no? On a per modal basis, some units are better than others, as is always the case...

SNIP What I'm saying and what you're saying isn't mutually exclusive. You're right that the Warscrolls have problems, some worse than others; the Skaven one appears to be particularly bad. Stupid yes, but was it so hard to include "You need at least X wounds, or X units" in the rules? If ...

@The Mattler, it is great that you are into Age of Sigmar, and I genuinely hope you enjoy the game. But this thread is very specifically for those of us who are disgruntled, annoyed and frankly just p*ssed off about the changes and, more prominently, GW's bullsh*t. Your optimism is wasted here, and...

What about social media as an option - a lot of the GW stores in Aus have a FB page? I also get the impression GW as a company are really just not interested in this kind of stuff. GW used to have a diverse social media presence, but that got scrapped just like their official forums. Facebook - No ...

Taking a positive approach to TD's Option B how do we tell GW just exactly how we feel. Could we summarise our points of concern, sign a petition and forward it to them for a supported WFB? The three GW email addresses I know are: custserv@gwplc.com - General mailbox, probably full of order process...

The Mattler, May I ask you; would you rather be playing a supported WFB or Age of Sigmar? That's a false dichotomy in the sense that the context seems to imply an either/or choice. I like 8th edition, but I'd be lying if I said I wasn't more excited about the new and interesting ways to field my Da...

3) The only thing keeping the game from being broken is the intelligence of the players in their army selection and tactics. Age of Sigmar gives you all of the rope in the world to hang yourself, but when two competent generals have a game, it's a fair tug-of-war. Which is fine if it isn't a tourna...

On the contrary, when life gives you lemons, you sacrifice the person giving you the lemons to Khaine; in this case the personage being a company known as GW. How dare you deny Khaine a steady supply of sacrificial lemons! The "pointless, butthurt bitching" is in fact negative feedback, a...

I like the interpretation of only casting the spell if the unit started on the board. The wording of the scroll is not 100% clear so could be argued BUT the defence is that the ability is written on the units scroll not the Wizards so I'd lean towards your interpretation. I hadn't spotted that and ...

A long, long time ago, they were actually based on something, as was revealed in a White Dwarf once. One point of Strength, so many points, one point of Weapon Skill, so many points, and so on. Did they balance the game then? No, because five Chaos Knights could wipe out an entire 2000 points Empir...

I agree with a lot of your points and I am actually very excited by AoS, but in DoTa (i have never played it) do you not both have a equal member team (I.e 5 people)? That's the only thing lacking in AoS you can take 5 I can take 500 even though you get sudden death conditions its a non game really...

Are you sure you haven't come straight from the GW marketing school the way you are trying to convince everyone this is the best game ever? It really is not. There are huge fundamental issue inherent within the game. Is it a bit of fun to be had on an evening? Yes I believe it is, I have played a f...

Still, strategy and style are replaced with "game". 360 degrees sight and free movement lets you slide a model or unit in any direction (without rotating). Rotation becomes an aesthetic thing, and something for irregular bases/formations. ... It also means you can't "catch" a un...

Actually reading the rules for summoning the models don't count towards your army but do count towards casualties. So You can count the, towards % for a minor victory if at the end of the game no one is outright destroyed. Also if you kill all the original models (I.e those that were deployed not s...

@the mattler that aspect of the game while interesting to explore is something that I cannot se working at a competitive tournament level which is a side of the game I really enjoy. Part of the enjoyment of "comp" is knowing that you are facing off against armies that while not balanced a...

Also, how are people planning on working around the whole lack of a points limit? Plenty to digest. Still no balancing mechanism though which is the biggest shame. Maybe there will be another expansion that goes into trying to make a balancing factor. A thought that a guy had on a battle report I j...
