I'm very happy to see unit strength return. Especially for things like fear.

I really like the idea of formations and things in the movement phase with the different formations. I like that there's a lot of crunch to what they're previewing. Rerolls for people with a high BS, rules for hitting when you need a 7+, etc.

https://www.warhammer-community.com/2023/10/30/old-world-almanack-your-first-look-at-the-rules/ Looks like we've got a Turn Sequence for the Old World now. Looks pretty reasonably familiar just with magic moving into relevant phases based upon the type of spell. Certainly seems like it'll be exciti...

I remember hearing about it but I've never tried it. Was it enjoyable?

Yeah, 6 player wargames sound like not the best to judge a game on.

And to you too!

Yeah, they went through all that trouble making the really nice elf on dragon kit and didn't give him new stats to go with it. He'd have been easy to build just with what was on the existing sprues too. Heck I think he's in some of the pictures they used in the 8th edition High Elf codex to boot. Wo...

Any news on this lately? Rumors still have it happening sometime in 2023 so there hasn't been a lot of news about it lately which is understandable given how hard they're pushing the new Horus Heresy edition. Wargamer.com had a running article if you haven't seen everything so far: https://www.warg...

I wouldn't put Age of Sigmar in there. Not that I presently have any problems with it. Third edition has been a ton of fun to play with my friends but it's a completely different type of game with completely different lore and mechanics. It's not *completely* disconnected but so distantly removed it...

Oooh! Good luck at that!

What is it that makes 3rd edition different from the two before it? Well there's a fair amount of changes between the second and third editions. Second was still an actual game as opposed to that farce of first edition but third is even more so. Also the newer GW style of actually paying some atten...

Has anyone been doing any of the new Path to Glory narrative campaigns for 3rd edition? We've been having a fair amount of fun with it. Feels like 3rd edition is a lot more of a game my circle can enjoy and we've built up a lot of forces. We're kind of using it as just a framework to just play games...

I think that's like a really bad title. Sounds like some C-grade Marvel comic.

Oh absolutely. It's both entirely possible to go too far and obviously has on occasion. At the moment it seems like GW is intent on correcting those kinds of imbalances so if that would continue I think it'd likely turn out at least interesting.

Well some imbalance is what makes it Warhammer.

Key word being /some/. Games can be over balanced. Not that I expect it from GW but I feel that strongly enough to at least bring it up.

Yeah. Bell of Lost Souls had this article with a lot of rumors that were posted on Faeit 212 . Rumors are saying 7th edition with influences from surrounding editions, which I've got no real problems with if that's true. Still years out it seems like either way. (As an aside, always annoyed at peopl...

It's still a ways off it seems like. I'm still thinking it might end up being sold like 30k is.

Unlike the older editions of Age of Sigmar, all in my own personal opinion of course, this third edition of the game seems to be a lot more interesting. Our club has actually picked it up and we're pushing above a thousand points in our Path to Glory campaign. I find it's a worthy game and recommend...

No, I was specifically talking about my community of friends and people who played Warhammer Fantasy. Nothing was picked up to replace it, no games of the old system were played, etc. No fan made continuations, no kings of war, no game of thrones, no historical, no just play older editions. Nothing.

Thank goodness we know what The Old World is actually supposed to be now. I'm very curious what the rules will end up looking like and how they're going to present models to people. Just rule books? Rules and then reboxed kits? Forgeworld only? I have so many questions!

Well now that they've actually said what it's actually supposed to be I'm much more interested. They did some really vague teasing originally but now that we know it's an actual blocks of troops war game that's going to draw from rules ranging from third to eighth edition of Warhammer Fantasy Battle...

Well, if I'm remembering correctly, it's true line of sight. So you're expected to get in close and try and decide that based upon your judgement if the unit can make out what it's targeting. So it's possible a unit might block line of sight, or it might not. I don't believe they provide any cover e...

It's fun to see a nice map and hear about the factions and things they're looking to explore but it'd be even nicer to at least get some reveal of just what kind of game they're trying to make...

So do we think it'll be a head swap kind of army..... Or do we just hope for the Old World to be better and not worry about it?

Hyshian aelves is very silly of a name but they are looking very nice. I wonder if I'll be able to trade away all these Deepkin in boxes...

So we had the initial announcement a few weeks ago of work starting on The Old World and square bases being teased, but now they've got rumors of even newer elves more in line with what used to be at least from the artwork used to described them with this spring. So new elves. Anyone seen anything a...

I'm way late to the party here, but Eagles are soooo good tactically. You should have more, not less! ;3

Hey, it looks like the materials are out for second edition and it's looking a lot more like an actual game this time around. It's still not Warhammer Fantasy, but at least this feels less like a slap in the face. Aelfs also seem to have some showing on the factions page.

https://ageofsigmar.com/

Yeah, the second editions rules seem a lot more like a fleshed out game.

Certainly a lot more exciting.

Well the game I played certainly felt familiar. The scenario we did heavily favoured my opponent while being completely detrimental to me. Opponent had twice the models on the table and those models had better in pretty much every way: number of attacks, rend, bravery, etc. Got tabled by demons in l...

I'm just curious. The FLGS near me is starting a biweekly slowgrow league and all these elves are just laying around. There are points and the company actually seems to want to make it a game now, plus there are Swifthawk Agent stuff that seems like I can field an actual elf army so I'm going for it...
