Age of Sigmar Rumor Roundup

[MARCOLL]

Sadly I think after 20 years of playing WFB and having collected a huge O & G army over that time this is the end of Warhammer for me, if I can't find a similar playable game system my collection will be going on e-bay.
Not measuring from bases = moronic
No points values = moronic
New model scale - horrible

The list goes on and I can't believe they have employed someone to completely destroy the game.

I have to say this is the least impressive (read bloody awful) format for WFB I have ever had the misfortune to see and after 20 years I think I am done.

They didn't use bases to appease exisiting Fantasy players with square bases
Points values are just one of a number of balancing mechanics, M:tG does fine without them for example
The scale is the same, Eternals are just big dudes.

This isn't a positive comment! LET'S DOGPILE HIM, GUYS!

Joking aside, I feel your pain. I sold up about a month ago when it was abundantly clear that AoS was replacing WHFB. I don't want yet another skirmish game and I suspect you're the same. If ranked battles are what you're after, may I suggest Kings of War? I don't play it myself, but I hear they've just updated the ruleset and are doing a roaring trade since GW decided that everything must be skirmishing Space Marines.

Check out Kings of War's second edition when it hits stores soon. They're really pushing for the WFB crowd, it's written by Alessio Cavatore (formerly on the WFB design team), and some of their promo shots show Orcs and Goblins (GW's models). It has regimental combat, points, same model scale. It's a good bit simpler than WFB from what I've seen, but that's not necessarily a bad thing.

Also keeping an eye on kings of war, if it works at small scale I'll pick up a bunch of wood elves second hand

[Tomgar]

I will be, if it plays at small points I might grab a bunch of wood elves second hand off ebay to run.

Wish I'd known dude, I just sold about 4000pts of Wood Elves!

They didn't just destroy the game but the setting as well. so this has few ties to what came before... And I'm out if the whole model scale changes.

KoW is likely what I will be playing going forward. It's not exactly the same, but at least it's a battle game and I don't have to deal with the idiocies of AoS...

Did people burn their 8th Ed books or something?
