Age of Sigmar : first miniatures revealed.

[frenchyvinnie]

New miniatures coming in.

More stormcast eternals with their usual huge shoulder pads and pauldrons. But the new scenery is absolutely gorgeous. Love the detail on those engravings.

[Orkfaeller]

The Demigryph whelp is cute I guess.

[CrayonVonCaesar]

Godawful.

[MissRarity]

Godawful.

Understatement of the century. Lady of the Lake, give us strength.

[Son of Horus]

Contrary to my first throughts they don't even make good space marines any more. This is Warcraft at it's stupid worst.

[korsakoff]

Seen the guys at mini wargaming play Sigmar and it looks so dumbed-down and unbalanced and no point system??? What the hell have Games Workshop done?

[Red Dox]

In brightest day, in blackest night,
No evil shall escape my sight.
Let those who worship evil's might,
Beware my power, Green Lantern's Golden Sigmar's light!!!

Worst part of the new guy is not the price or the miniature design but again the rules. First time I see a magical lantern as mighty weapon. But after the cloak that shoots magical warhammers it seem to be a new trend to have really weird items on your heroes.
Coming up next: The fork of Truth

Pain. So much Pain.

The irony of this... life!

[frenchyvinnie]

If this doesn't look like a space marine with a bolter, then I don't know what does.

[Orkfaeller]

I swear, the main reason they gave them crossbows like these is so that they are easier to convert into Space Marines with Bolters.
They allready had Bows at options, its not like they really needed those.

[MissRarity]

Bolters indeed. I hope they have the same damage profile.

Well on the good side, the Point system will balan....wait...you say they removed it? But...but why?

[Vardeus]

mk 10 Sigmar pattern bolter and stormbolter, respectively.

[korsakoff]

Has anyone even looked at the price? 60 quid for 10 models. Not even a box of tactical marines cost's that much...i wonder how balanced they are with them having no point system.

Its balanced by bank account obliviously.

[Vardeus]

It's balanced through total wounds, types of scrolls (warmachine, monster, cavalry, lord etc) and the number of them you can bring. Number of wounds on a single scroll can also be limited.

So its points again but just harder to calculate?

Kinda...it's less restrictive than a point system. Upgrades are free for example.

But yes, it's rather complex.

Unless someone says "no, you can't play all Cav", I'm running Glade Riders. (Theoretically, that's if I ever gave this rubbish the time of day)

14+D6" Move, 20" Range 2 shot 4+/4+ Bows. For 2 wounds ea, can move and shoot (and charge and shoot into combat, heyho); Can you kite for the kite god?

It's not complex at all.

I want this thing to fail, I really want this to fail. I want it to be burned into GW's memory how bad it went, I want it to blow right into GW's face how wrong they were to try this. I want them to be humbled at the failure this can bring to their pockets. But most of all, I want their ego to be destroyed.
