... it was interesting. So some background. My opponent had only played one real game previously, I had played none. It was a 1000pts of Khorne (me) on Tzeetch action. My bloodthirster killed his LoC.
Now my initial reactions of this game are its a fun game to play. Doesn't really require much thought, simple rules, I get to use my cool models again. But, it seems to me like alot of "4's to hit, 4's to wound, oh my save is a 4+!" Some of the rules from the free downloads are ambiguous to say the least and how am I supposed to actually play some models when they have things like "repeat aloud your opponents spell backwards and get +2 to dispel"? Is there an errata that rewrites these rules?
Now I have some actual questions about the rules that I couldn't find the answers to in the general handbook;
•Can you really shoot into and out of combat with no penalty? Seems weird, but I'm ok with it.
•Is there no magic dice pool? You can just attempt any spell once by just rolling dice?
•Is the alternating turns thing legit? That was a shock. It worked in my favor too but I got shot up really good before I ever got into combat.
All in all it was a pretty fun experience. I don't think ill play that much cause it just seemed.... empty? Watered-down? I dunno, its just not W:FB. It is however the only way I will get to use my cool fantasy models in my area. I will definitely give it more games cause it was entertaining.
