Malakithe Posted June 22, 2016 Report Share Posted June 22, 2016 Looks like matched play will have a real organization. GW was talking about Battleine units that a required Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Threejacks Posted June 22, 2016 Report Share Posted June 22, 2016 Yeah,,its been confirmed that there will be a core tax of some sort.Hopefully its not some percentage amount. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malakithe Posted June 22, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 22, 2016 Well ithen will be a 'minimum number of units' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alindahl Posted June 22, 2016 Report Share Posted June 22, 2016 Hmmmm, well I'm not sure how I feel about this. Would definitely be interesting to see how it plays out. Glad they are maintaining the "three ways to play" thing though because if this is the case I am not going to want to play matched play all the time haha.

Malakithe Posted June 22, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 22, 2016 Regular points should be fine. But matched play will probably have specific formats Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malakithe Posted June 22, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 22, 2016 If matched play turns into mono-sub factions only then a lot of people will stick with just points Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alindahl Posted June 22, 2016 Report Share Posted June 22, 2016 Definitely. I feel like they wouldn't do that though. It would make some almost unplayable, or at least rather boring. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malakithe Posted June 22, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 22, 2016 Yep. Current sylvaneth, fyreslayers and ironjawz have limited support. You need to use overwhelming tactics for them if not supported by gap fillers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malakithe Posted June 22, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 22, 2016 I just want the damn book to be out so I can start building 2k points lists lol I'm sure there will be an army builder app soon after too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alindahl Posted June 22, 2016 Report Share Posted June 22, 2016 Yeah and I was thinking about Lion Rangers. Here let me just make a 2k point list with these two unit choices... Boom. Done. Heros? Who needs them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Threejacks Posted June 22, 2016 Report Share Posted June 22, 2016 More and more its looking like matched play will be strictly for a competative setting.Its not likely many battalions would fit into the point range or even in the core tax requirement.This is by design though,I think GW is trying to avoid what happens to so many game systems were once players start to min/max the point/core matrix then the game just becomes nothing but a selection of a few scenarios that are deemed as being the most balanced,then just 5-10% of the models in production being used as they are the most "competative" with all others sitting on the shelf until the next rendition/revision of the rules comes out. This is why they are promoting the book as "Three ways to play".The nice thing about AoS though is that the fan made systems have shown that they can work very will with formations and fluff play using the published battleplans.So there will always be SCGT or even the Laurels system to play battleplans with.While the campaign system will be there ,,which Im hoping will bring a new take on how escalation leagues are played.

Malakithe Posted June 22, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 22, 2016 Well at a minimum the points will probably still just be points with player added restrictions. Like for us if we make a 2k points game with no other restrictions that would be no big deal 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alindahl Posted June 23, 2016 Report Share Posted June 23, 2016 Agree with Malakithe! The whole spirit of AoS has been enjoyment and fun, if something just makes it a pain we shouldn't do it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malakithe Posted June 23, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 23, 2016 Most are ok with points anyway. Matched is going to be for events only so no big deal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deadwing34 Posted June 23, 2016 Report Share Posted June 23, 2016 I really like the idea of having 3 ways to play also (although I just need one way to play at this point, since I have yet to play an actual game ha-ha). I think just having some baseline point value for people to use other than people previously using the total number of wounds and/or the number of war-scrolls. Once we have points then people can bolt on other rules for limiting or opening up the system that GW makes up. Although I think it is a bit premature to just throw what GW has come up with out the window yet. We don't have the book in hand to see how all 3 of the new systems are designed. I personally can't wait to buy the book and see what they have come up with. Just give me the damn book already, honestly at this point I kinda don't want to buy any more models or play a game until I have it in hand.

Malakithe Posted June 23, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 23, 2016 Yeah it's hard to plan ahead right now. Should be within the next few weeks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steel Angel Posted June 23, 2016 Report Share Posted June 23, 2016 Yer I stopped buying and just painting what i got. Got to get ready to smash Chaos in Sigmars name. And look good doing it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I'm kinda in the same place. We also have the summer campaign coming up real fast though. I will probably just stick with what I have, pound out a few games with my tiny Stormcast army for the campaign then make plans for expansion once the handbook is out.

deadwing34 Posted June 23, 2016 Report Share Posted June 23, 2016 Yer I stopped buying and just painting what i got. Got to get ready to smash Chaos in Sigmars name. And look good doing it. Sorry but you ain't smashing [big bad swear word] ! I have my start collecting Nurgle mini army completely painted and done. I am currently working on painting all of my Silver Tower stuff. But at my pace it will take months to get it all painted. It should nicely bolster my legion of Chaos once it is done. I want to eventually get Archaon or some other nice big center piece model as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malakithe Posted June 24, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 24, 2016 Well points are getting leaked so yay it's close Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Threejacks Posted June 24, 2016 Report Share Posted June 24, 2016 Leak from fb-- https://www.facebook.com/paintinggoblin/photos/a.1585460145079780.1073741834.1585130358446092/1588362461456215/?type=3 From the comments I can see that summoning is pretty much just reserves now...not too bad of a route to go for competative play.But as I mentioned in one of the comment threads,I want to see what they do about banners that bring back dead models and stuff like that.

Threejacks Posted June 24, 2016 Report Share Posted June 24, 2016 Also I read a post a few days ago that stated Nagash is 700 points in this system..if so this would be a fair indication of were the upper end point cost of monsters are in the game.
