Brother Glacius Posted June 26, 2015 Report Share Posted June 26, 2015 Wow, I'm sorry. I thought the figs would have been somewhere close to the current fantasy ones so that there could be cross use. I don't see how in the world this can phase into a square base game. Welcome to Sigmar 40K. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Murphy'sLawyer Posted June 26, 2015 Report Share Posted June 26, 2015 That's a good thing. :)Yes and not completely my thing. If that was the look of the leader and maybe an elite squad then yes, but the whole army just looks "meh" especially the winged soldiers. And that is not a Griffin as mentioned before. They may call it one but it is something else. Some are going to love them, I know, but it is not my style. Just my opinion which shouldn't sway anyone else's opinion. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pretre Posted June 26, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 26, 2015 Well, good thing there will be other factions (and in fact more models for that faction than the sigmarines) for you to play. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Murphy'sLawyer Posted June 26, 2015 Report Share Posted June 26, 2015 What I want to see is the Orc's and Elves' rules. I have sooooo many models of those two factions I will be sticking to them for now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

splinx Posted June 27, 2015 Report Share Posted June 27, 2015 Wow. Here is a list of the supposed cancelled lines from GW and their recall list. Take it with a pinch of salt but looks like a major reboot here. http://www.spikeybits.com/2015/06/discontinued-warhammer-fantasy-minature-list.html?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+SpikeyBitsFeed+%28Spikey+Bits+Original%29&utm_content=FaceBook Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fixxer Posted June 27, 2015 Report Share Posted June 27, 2015 All of those kits seem to be prior to laser cut plastics. Im sure they want their entire line at that level eventually, gotta pull the old kits sometime. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Murphy'sLawyer Posted June 27, 2015 Report Share Posted June 27, 2015 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fixxer Posted June 27, 2015 Report Share Posted June 27, 2015 Im with NTK that this is not 9th ed. My thought is that they will introduce a larger scale version of their new system to allow for a more elaborate and complex game that takes the 2.5-3 hours to play like we are used to. AoS looks to be a skirmish game that maybe takes an hour to complete. This will be a great starting point for incorporating a larger rule set as time goes on, its actually a more feasible business model in the long term, IMO. They needed a distinction between point values in games to make it appropriate to play exclusively at a lower point level while not taking away from the depth of the larger game. When they are called two different things, you cant say that. You'd hear folks say "Warhammer at 1000pts is NOT Warhammer." Now you can say, "playing AoS" Warhammer did not scale well and low point cost tournaments were rare and full of players with larger forces anyway. Having support of events and tournaments for a specified lower point value, all the time, will keep a pooled player base in AoS. This will, hopefully, gradually graduate players to the higher level more consistently than people taking a $400 plunge all at once. Also, in the smaller skirmish level you see people collect more diverse kits. You will need 1000pts to play it, then you'll have 1000pts of a broader array of products keeping the sales more consistent across. In WH you almost have to dedicate yourself to a race or two, thats all you buy. I can imagine some people having a small force of everything for AoS and that means sales across the entire line. Id like to be able to dabble in undead or Lizards and in AoS I wont need much to give them a shot and see if I would go any further. From some of the pics of mixed bases it seems that AoS forces can be added to a larger WH force to complete an entire army. This is why we have been seeing imagery of mixed bases with Lizards and Skaven for example. **Hopefully!! Ive been on the GW ride with WHFB for a long time and will continue my journey. Its the only game I play with dice and tape and is wholly due to nostalgia, good friends, and an appreciation for the dark creativity of their (GW) ways. Call me what you want, I appreciate a little mystery in life especially in something as fickle as a game I play in my fun times. Ive seen a lot of horribly negative posts all over the internet about this. Its really something. A telling social experiment of the ability to be patient, trust, and keep a positive mindset, no matter what. A lot of negative nancys. Sigmarites are ugly, hope to slay many in the future. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
savion47 Posted June 27, 2015 Report Share Posted June 27, 2015 I am really hoping it is just the paint scheme that is turning me off of the sigmarines. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
indytims Posted June 27, 2015 Report Share Posted June 27, 2015 I am really hoping it is just the paint scheme that is turning me off of the sigmarines. Someone posted a link with the same figs photoshopped with a different color scheme... Personally silver/blue looks WAY better, in my opinion.

Murphy'sLawyer Posted June 28, 2015 Report Share Posted June 28, 2015 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prophecy Posted June 28, 2015 Report Share Posted June 28, 2015 Ya know in the right hands they could be a cool custodes army for 40k. You just play them for whatever terminator faction is doing the best. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rudra34 Posted June 28, 2015 Report Share Posted June 28, 2015 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. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brother Glacius Posted June 28, 2015 Report Share Posted June 28, 2015 I'm having trouble figuring out how GW is going to get people into fantasy with this game, and then somehow get them to a square based WFB style. I mean if you get AoS, you'll want to keep using those figs. Doesn't make a whole lot of sense. If GW is really wants to turn fantasy into Sigmar 40K, then why leave the square based stuff out there. My only guess at this point is GW is going to wait and see how well AoS is received. If it bombs..they go back to square...if it does well, then they stick with the skirmish game.
