Murphy'sLawyer

I think fluger and I mentioned that about a week ago. ;)

You do realize this thread is over 30 pages so I missed it in all the ranting back and forth.

 

But like I said before now that it is out I will try it out, but I am not throwing out my 8th Ed rule books yet.

Come to think of it if they also made a Living Rule Book to go along with GW's product this could turn out really cool. Then they can add more depth and excitement to the game and the Player Base can come up with a more balanced point system then GW any day.

Well what I see happening is the community that developed the Swedish Comp coming up with point values for players to use and taking GW out of the point value decision. That honestly would be cool but we will have to wait until that happens too.

 

Otherwise I don't see this taking off at all.

So who's up for game testing this? If this is all the rules we should all have it read by tonight.

Form all your models into units defined by warscrolls. Play an opponent. Alternate deploying until satisfied. Play a game.

But that just has no soul. No array of weapons that are different, no character to any Spells, no trying to work out a list that works? I must be missing something becuase this just seems dull.

 

Am I the only one that read the rules and went "that's it?" It just has no Life to it and literally has become a Push Model game.

 

I must be missing something and there must be more to come because this just looks disappointing. Hero Clicks has more interesting rules than this. I mean this is even worse than I thought they would do.

33 Pages. Should we start a new thread about Rules Discussion and leave this for our thoughts on the release?

 

In other words express your thoughts on AoS here but have the rules actually being discussed in a new thread so we don't have to dig through all this.

I still am not sure how to build an army here. I have the Orc pdf and I just don't understand what I can and can not bring. (I get the unbound idea but I have 250 O&G models and I doubt they allow you to bring that against someone with 10 models on the board.)

 

I guess I will have to wait and read more.

All I see are Space Marines every time I look at those Sigmarines.

 

Breaking everything into 9 realms is a little clunky and odd. Not sure I can get into that.

 

Still though the rules will be out soon and then we can make our decisions.

The only legal HQ for a Ravenwing force is still Sammael, unfortunately.

 

Generally speaking, multiple small units are better than fewer large units, especially in an army like RW that relies on mobility and flexibility to do its work.

Yeah I know the Sammael thing and I am hoping they FAQ that soon. As for the advise I appreciate it. Now let's hope GW doesn't drag their knuckles forever like some other FAQ's.

So I am piecing together an Army from my collection and I need to put together my Ravenwing Strike Force. Now I am not sure if I should go with two RW units 6 strong or 4 units 3 strong. For hit and run units would it be better to run them in smaller units or bigger units?

 

Still need to figure out who my HQ is going to be too.

I will definitely go with Chappy's interruption for now. Not only because it makes logical sense but also I trust his knowledge on anything DA related.

Hmmmm. I have to say with my Parents coming to town and the new book for my army I haven't played in years just hitting the shelves I might just sit back and wait. I am reading these rumors but honestly they do not inspire me yet.

 

I guess I won't be interested until I know what will become of my 3 armies I already have. Meaning I will have to wait until the rules for them come out. Everything else is meaningless until then.

Clearly GW intended for multiple copies of Sammael to be taken.

Now that I can do!

I was looking through the DA Codex and I noticed, as many others on other forums, that only Sammael has the Ravenwing rule even though you can take 3 HQ in the Ravenwing Strike Force.

 

I assume this was a mistake that will get FAQ'ed but what to do until then? How are you guys dealing with this?

I just don't get the 4 page rule book idea. Uno has a Four page rule book and so does Risk.

 

I just don't see it yet.

I can't tell if the Salt I taste is from the salt I am taking with these rumors or if it's from the tears of old Warhammer players? Still waiting for some good to come.

Looking at my collection I don't have to purchase anything unless I want to try out the Fliers again.

 

Still need to read the rules fully before jumping into a game.

Wow, the Demi-Company just got a lot more attractive.

Or does it mean every unit in that formation gets that rule?

Ok this may be a dump question as I may just be missing the obvious but when looking through the DA codex I noticed only the Battle Demi-Company mentions the Objective Secure rule but it also says for the units that have this rule. I have looked at all the units (I expect only the Tactical and Scouts should have it) none of them list that rule as an ability.

 

Did I miss something?

If the rules for AoS end up being really fun, I will make my own war troop.   Because beaten down, war-hardened empire vets holding up wooden shields and blacksmith's hammers speak truer to the races of men than steel-clad statues.   No matter how many dimensions they have traveled through.

 

 

The game is what you make of it.

Quoted for Truth!

So I saw a close up picture and those Sigmarites look just bad. I am talking not my thing at all.

 

I am not hopeful for future Human models at all, and if this is the direction GW models are going I am sticking with the retro look.

Hey guys I was just at RC and they are having a huge buy two get one free sale on GW (not much left) and all board games!

 

(Again not sure if this is the best place to post but everyone should hear about it.)

Hey guys Red Castle is having a huge buy two get one free on all GW and Board Games in the store!

 

Not sure if this is a good spot to post this but wanted to share the good savings. (They have to clear shelves for the repair work that will be happening soon.)

 

So help a LGS as they recover from the Accident.

Wait, the Boar Boyz and Savage Orc Big Boss are new plastic models. Why are they getting pulled? The models are actually great looking models too.
