Peanut Posted June 26, 2015 Report Share Posted June 26, 2015 I don't know what to think. I'll need to see the models up close I guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dashneeb Posted June 26, 2015 Report Share Posted June 26, 2015 This looks like 4th edition D&D. It looks cute on paper but as that pic you posted points out there is some game envy going on. The can't beat um join philosophy doesn't always work. I'll wait for a piazo to step in and show them that you don't just crap on the formula because YOU want change. These pics say warmachine to me. I love warmachine fluff and models and I have owned two massive armies before but the gameplay is lacking. If the game is fun I will play. If not fantasy will sit on a shelf until poor sales drive them to make sensical decisions. I'm pretty sure it was poor sales of Fantasy that drove them to this decision. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iraf Posted June 26, 2015 Report Share Posted June 26, 2015 lol i think we are all getting played... can july 4th just come already? The first photo is new models. The photo that is Warmachine models is Pretre's repost showing the similarities with Warmachine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pretre Posted June 26, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 26, 2015 Hah, I thought the models in that one pic looked familiar! Here is the pic for Warmachine sword knights from the PP web site. Whoops. Fixed it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blustorm Posted June 26, 2015 Report Share Posted June 26, 2015 I think your record is still something like 99.99%, Pretre. Pretty hard to fool you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
splinx Posted June 26, 2015 Report Share Posted June 26, 2015 I may grab some of the chaos guys as marauders but the rest of the models look naff (English word for crap) to me. Be interesting to see what 9th ruleset has in store now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McNathanson Posted June 26, 2015 Report Share Posted June 26, 2015 AoS may or may not be a good game. But I don't understand why people assume it's replacing WFB? I would bet even money today that there will be a 9th ed WFB. My reasoning is simple: why would GW continue to make Fantasy models, and yet open the door wide for another rule set to step in and fill the large-scale battle void? They'd just be giving away a business for no reason. I'm sure there are a lot of aspiring rules writers who would *love* to re-write WFB and have all the models done for free. That, and there is a great and simple explanation for their silence on 9th ed., which is that they don't want people to pass over AoS and just wait for 9th. It's going to work (at least somewhat) because I know I'm not the only one who will buy the AoS rulebook(s) just to see what's what, whereas if I had 9th edition to read in a few months I might not bother with AoS at all. Anyway, I just don't believe GW would simply scrap their WFB rules and replace them with a smaller scale game... there's just no good reason for them to do that. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Murphy'sLawyer Posted June 26, 2015 Report Share Posted June 26, 2015 Well whatever AoS is those Empire models are straight up Space Marines without the high tech. Not original at all when you compare them to the 40K line. I'll pass on the new Empire now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MexicanNinja Posted June 26, 2015 Report Share Posted June 26, 2015 Don't care, I'm buying those models. Whatever army they are, that's what I'm playing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peanut Posted June 26, 2015 Report Share Posted June 26, 2015 Hope you're right. I'm really excited for a skirmish game - Mordheim is my favorite game ever. But mass battles is amazing too... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
indytims Posted June 26, 2015 Report Share Posted June 26, 2015 Why is the empire stealing my swooping hawks!? Theyr are trying to ruin my warhams!!!1!!1!! Seriously i am meh about the figs. But since i only buy rats, the figs they show mean nothing to me really. I am much more worried about the rules. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Murphy'sLawyer Posted June 26, 2015 Report Share Posted June 26, 2015 I am going to stick to my Dark Elves and Orcs for now. Still hoping that the rules are solid and I am not changing the models I have based with circle bases, new ones sure, already based ones Forget About It.

I would bet even money today that there will be a 9th ed WFB. I'll bet you a dollar (to be picked up at OFCC) that either AoS is 9th edition or it is the starter set for 9th edition. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wait, if AoS is the starter set for 9th edition, then I'd be right in what I was willing to bet on, as there would be a 9th edition (a large-scale fantasy game to replace 8th edition WFB). Are you trying to trick me into betting against myself?! :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andrewgeddon Posted June 26, 2015 Report Share Posted June 26, 2015 So, we're just going to stay with 8th edition, right? I kid, I kid. Still reserving final judgement until the rules come out. Chaos stuff looks good, and the one thing I will say about the Sigmar stuff, even though nothing about them screams "Warhammer Fantasy" to me, is that it definitely screams "Games Workshop," although maybe a little "Privateer Press" too. Certainly going to be a lot harder to find alternative miniatures to use with your "not-space-marines gold lightning angel knights" army, so in that respect GW has succeeded. Still, as a guy who is looking at playing Empire (...Sigmarites?), this has got be a bit worried. But again, will wait for the rules to come out before I make any final decisions. If nothing else, you guys are more than welcome to come bring your old square bases and push them around Mordheim with me, heh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McNathanson Posted June 26, 2015 Report Share Posted June 26, 2015 I'll definitely be playing 8th edition at least until 9th edition comes out, or everyone else quits and I have to switch game systems to find a tournament to play. I truly feel zero compulsion to change rule sets just because GW is deprecating 8th. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
