This kind of release is, I think, exactly the kind of thing that AoS needs. It's silly, humorous and over the top high fantasy. AoS itself is...not a very good game...but having cool, weird, over the top models and encouraging you to use them makes the time spent at the table worthwhile.
Well well well. More then night goblins are moving underground!
There's a new boxed set for AoS, with Skaven vs. Flesheater Courts, with new and gribbly ghoul lord and recklessly overarmed Skaven boss.
I gotta admit, my first thought on seeing "overarmed" was not "rokkit launcher and all sorts of other stuff" but rather..
... when did the Skavens start worshipping the Four-Armed Emperor?
I don't think AoS is ever going to be a finely balanced, well tuned, super competitive game to play, but I do think it can be a really fun game to play.
*Hopefully, it would be a shame if they have all kinds of cool rules for various units and army compositions but the meta becomes: Grot swarm, more Grot swarm, lots and lots of swarming Grots.
You forgot to link to the glorious little classic horror pastiche intro trailer they did for the set.
Lexicanum has been making a big push to recruit contributors to expand its Age of Sigmar section for a while now. It's a bit patchy because like many wikis a lot of it comes down to which bits of the setting the contributors are particularly interested in, but it's probably the most detailed Age of Sigmar wiki out there.
Has any of you given the AoS skirmish rules from the current White Dwarf a go yet? Are they any good?
