Going Forward: Age of Sigmar

Unless you have been living under a rock the past few days, or perhaps just on vacation with no internet access, the Age of Sigmar rules have been released in full. I have read them and I can say that they are interesting, to say the least. It looks like there could be real potential in the game if some of the more glaring issues are addressed, like standardized bases, war scrolls, unit formation, and army choices. Of course, most of these rules have not yet been released and we should be getting all the war scrolls for current armies this weekend which will give me, and everyone else, a better idea of how the game is going to be going forward.

As things are released I will be going through a full run on rules and war scrolls to help the community figure out if this is a game that we want to be playing and spending our money on. I also hope to have a few new players run through the starter with me so we can see how easy the game is for new players and whether there is serious tournament potential or if the game is going to simply become a beer and pretzels at home game (which would be disappointing to me as I get more games in at tournaments each year than I do at home or my local hobby store).

Let's just see what Games Workshop brings to the community.
