For casual play at stores, the vast majority of people wont care if they are on squares or rounds. In tournaments it is really up to the TO, more and more events are requiring round bases. It does become a bit of an issue since all attacks in AoS have range and pilling in becomes an issue as well. Square base sizes are not an exact equivalent to round or oval bases and a lot of base sizes for models have changed over the years. Most players that are really into AoS take the time to re-base their armies onto rounds luckily I never played fantasy so I never had that problem. I have had to re-base (or use extenders) to a few models due to the base size changing.

For any Age of Sigmar players that want to play 3 rounds at 2000 points, taking place on Oct 12th starting at 10am at Geeks and Games in Oregon City. The only requirement is 5 items of food, a 2000p army, there is no paint requirement as well. Further details in Facebook event listing. Hope to see some players out, its going to be a lot of fun.

I think we should be good, it's hard to determine how many people will show up each week

Yah I know how that goes, I should be there tomorrow, see you then.

Yup, you're all welcome to come!

Oh yeah, it was pretty good. 9 people! It was really cool. I'm finding that we have a good mix of beginners and veterans. Was thinking of splitting the group into veterans and beginners to keep the vets engaged and beginners can go at a slower pace.

Ok so no problems on table space or terrain then?

I am thinking about coming out tomorrow. Will I have room to play, I may bring 1 or 2 people as well? I heard you had an amazing turn out last time.

Great, thanks for the reply!  Looking forward to it.  I had played Underworlds consistently on Tuesdays at Guardian, but fell out of it a couple months ago.  Now excited to go back for Warcry.

Oh I am sure we have played before because I love to play Underworlds as well. We are continuing to play AoS, Underworld and Warcry on Tuesday nights.

Darn, I just found out about this 2 days late!  Unfortunately, I am traveling for work the next two Tuesdays so the next opportunity I can be at Guardian is 10/1.  Is that too late to join the campaign?

 

EDIT:  turns out I can join weekly beginning 9/24, so I hope that’s not too late to join.

I am keeping this very loose and open ended, anyone can join at any time. I did put an official end date of Oct 29th, but that could end up getting extended out. Its really hard to say how long it will take for everyone to finish their own personal campaign quests due to how the whole system works. I really don't expect everyone to finish by that date and it is no problem to extend it past that date. Anyway I hope to see you down on a Tuesday night soon.

Yup, if we encounter any issues we'll make the adjustments. The main goal is just to meet people, learn the rules, and throw some dice!

Also, we posted the battleplan and other rules on Discord. Should be a good turn out!

Ok works for me sounds like fun if I come I will have with me a silly list of Warcry and Slaves to Darkness stuff I have. I prob wont even worry about allegiance traits.

Just now, Atules said:

Yup, we're keeping it open to whatever you want to bring for the first month.

Ah ok, so no restrictions at all sounds good then?

I may be able to come tomorrow. But did you decide on army composition at the 500 point level yet? How many heroes and how many battleline etc, thanks.

Ah that all ties into the Narrative Campaign, arguably the most complicated and advanced way to play the game. For normal games you would just ignore all of that.

Basically for most Warbands you choose a quest for them to undertake for the entirety of the narrative campaign. The chaos warbands have two to choose from and the AoS warbands only have one quest to choose from (for now). Convergence battles happen at key points in your narrative campaign that tie into your overall campaign. Basically there are really cool battles that you have to win to progress in your campaign.

Are you talking about open, matched or narrative play? If so all of GW main games now are using that new system to differentiate the ways to play.

Just a final reminder that we are kicking this off soon and anyone is welcome to join in the campaign at any point.

Sounds like the book will only be $25 and it has a ton of really cool options in it can't wait!

I am going to try and make it down as well as long as it does not conflict with my twice monthly Thursday board game night. I also love teaching people how to play.

I would be Interested and I know of a few other that would be as well. 3 90 min rounds sounds about perfect to me.

BTW: It would prob be good to avoid Oct 12th since that is Food for the Blood God down in Oregon City Geeks and games.

Its pretty rare that I dislike almost the entire model line for a GW army, but I am not a fan either. But there does seem to be a lot of people who really like them. It does seem like this will be more of an elite Death army too which could be promising. I also think that with new army it will be easier for GW to protect their IP, rather than here is a human skeleton dude with a sword in his hand.

Damn already going to quit the game....so sad haha!

In the previous two years, the end of August date put us in conflict with certain College and University schedules, let alone Labor Day weekend.  There were several teams in that two year period who -could not- attend due to school/work appointments starting, classes underway, etc.  A late July date forestalls both of these issues.  Locking in early this year (and more importantly announcing dates early) allows us more lead time to manage sponsors, promote and sell tickets, and make your future OFCC experience an EVEN BETTER ONE.

Because that's why we do it.

Ah ok makes sense the less conflicts for people the better.

Oh nice thanks, with you had some finished shots of the fantasy models painting 10 in 20 min its crazy.

I got not problem with the date change but was their some reason behind the date change?

We need pictures!

Here are a bunch of you tube video teaching you the game or reviewing the game etc:

Darn Tuesday night....that's my D&D night. 😞

No problem, its always tricky finding a day and time that works for everyone, that's for sure.
