smashthedean Posted November 3, 2015 Report Share Posted November 3, 2015 I didn't see a post here, but it looks like the 9th Age people have put out the updated armybooks and have a new draft of the main rules as well. I was originally pretty skeptical of it, but 9th Age is really turning out pretty nice. All of the new armybooks are pretty well put together and all of the main rule changes seem like big improvements over 8th. Check it out!http://www.the-ninth-age.com 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Myster2 Posted November 3, 2015 Report Share Posted November 3, 2015 I had a chance to dig into this as well and i am impressed, it looks very fun to play and very well thought and laid out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ClassicFlava Posted November 4, 2015 Report Share Posted November 4, 2015 took a peak at a couple of them and they look good. I cant see it pulling me away from KoW, but I would play it over 8th edition hands down. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smashthedean Posted November 5, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 5, 2015 I'm going to start trying to get people to try this out up here in Bellingham. I think it'll take a little while to get going as everyone is still a little disheartened on Fantasy since the end of 8th, but people are slowly coming around. I've been looking through all of the army books and it looks like there is something to be excited about no matter what army you used to play.

JMGraham Posted November 6, 2015 Report Share Posted November 6, 2015 Wow, that Empire stuff looks really sexy. The flexibility means I could likely bring back my witchhunter army. It's got options for the Dogs of War stuff I used to take, duelists, generic light cav, etc.Gotta dig into it more, but color me interested.

Peanut Posted November 6, 2015 Report Share Posted November 6, 2015 I played last night and enjoyed the updates to my wood elves. Seems like they did a good job of making all units viable. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smashthedean Posted November 6, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 6, 2015 I'm personally really excited about the return of specific Vampire bloodlines along with the bonuses for taking a mono-god Chaos daemon army. So much flavor packed together with actually balanced rules! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sherbert Posted November 7, 2015 Report Share Posted November 7, 2015 I looked over O&G today and was pleasantly pleased at the changes they made to spells. Foot of Gork is not nearly as powerful and there are just generally better spells to choose from. im liking the changes more and more. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prophecy Posted November 7, 2015 Report Share Posted November 7, 2015 I'm knee deep in finishing my Kislev army but I have been using the warhammer armies project book. I hope they take a look at his stuff and drum up some more books in the near future. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lion of Flanders Posted November 8, 2015 Report Share Posted November 8, 2015 Hey so I downloaded the rules and gave it a ultra fast once over. This seems pretty cool to me so far...encouraging. If folks are playing it, I'd definately be up for a game....perhaps a tournament at Borderlands....Talapas? What does Raindog, Lord of the Rampages think, I wonder?

Grom20 Posted November 8, 2015 Report Share Posted November 8, 2015 I am liking this so far...although it is only a quick glance. I am with flanders...boarderlands setting up a tourney to try out? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JMGraham Posted November 8, 2015 Report Share Posted November 8, 2015 Working on lists, and I've got to say... 9th age seems baller as [big bad swear word]. I don't know if it's the same for all of the lists, and not just the ones I play, but it seems all of the no-brainier stuff is reigned in, and a lot of the stuff I'd ignore before is worth considering. I can no longer abuse a lot of the idiosyncrasies of 8th (Congo lines with champions in front, elves rerolling everything), but I reckon that's a good thing. Big changes: shields are awesome on infantry now? -1 to hit? Yes please! Disappointed with some of the Nurgle stuff. While I like the monogod daemon benefits, I wish I miss the variety you can get from the Legion lists. I reckon the community can always come up with monogod Legion lists. Here's hoping!

Kremmet Posted November 9, 2015 Report Share Posted November 9, 2015 Wow, those WE rules are insane. Can only hope they drop the blind designing soon as right now things are reminding me a lot more of 7th than of 8th in terms of army books. I mean, the Daemonslayer has, what, 12 special rules and the ability to buy more? And they did nothing to improve the slayer rule to make it not a nightmare of book keeping? I guess we can only hope the 9th Age team uses the advantage of their super small size to pump out new iterations quickly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smashthedean Posted November 9, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 9, 2015 I think a lot of the currently crazy stuff like the Daemonslayer are definitely going to be getting reined in soon. Basically for anyone who hasn't been following it, the process has been: 1. Rules Team puts together core rules and magic paths 2. Army Book Committees redo army books 3. Rules Team modifies army books to bring everything into balance 4. Rules Team and Army Book Committees analyze playtest data and make changes to everything as needed They're basically in the middle of step 3 right now and just did a 0.9.1 update to all of the army books for errata and balance issues that needed to be immediately addressed. Word has it that the first major batch of changes to the books are coming on the 21st with another planned pass to be done at the end of December. I feel like they're definitely on top of things and things are only going to get better from here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
