My apologies if this has already been mentioned in a thread...

The pic won't paste ack.

It's the "White Dwarf January 2019 on sale January 4" header that shows:

*  Battle Report

*  Warhammer Age of Sigmar Skirmish

*  The Return of Index Astartes

*  Brand New Columns

*  The 'Eavy Metal Challenge

*  New Fiction and More!

There was a Age of Sigmar Skirmish released a while back. To be frank, it absolutely sucked... It played more like a half-baked minigame idea from a White Dwarf article rather than a proper game. Given that AoS actually scales very well from low points levels up to large game sizes (seriously, you can play a very enjoyable game with just a Start Collecting box per player), there isn't much need for a "skirmish" level of the game as an introductory product, what AoS really needed was a campaign-based, more detailed game, akin to Mordhiem or Frostgrave... What we got was just regular AoS with a much more limited selection of models, fewer factions, and unnecessarily convoluted changes to the AoS points system. 

Frankly, unless they have made a major overhaul of the system, if you want to play a skirmish game with your AoS minis, I'd just grab a copy of Frostgrave.

Path to Glory is the AOS Skirmish/ Escalation ruleset. It works great!

Yah the original Skirmish was crap, I am hoping this is a fully fleshed out new version. I doubt it will be as polished and fleshed out as Kill Team. But if they can get it on some level close to current Kill Team it would be awesome.
