Mikey Purp posted:I'm as bummed as the next guy that the double turn still exists, but I don't see how anyone can say that they did absolutely nothing to address it. Agreed. Personally, I like the priority roll, but I know it's not for everyone. At least, for the very recent batreps coming out with AoS 3.0 rules, it seems like its impact is quite diminished, more than I first thought, as you can see in this example, where both players traded priority rolls in the second and third turn: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SRd4-S21QJ0

SkyeAuroline posted:I've been told AoS (or its attached RPGs) gives some actual depictions of the Chaos gods' positive aspects, in contrast to 40k. I don't play, so I don't know, but is that true and if so where do I go find it? You can find the list of each god's aspects and alternate names in Lexicanum: https://ageofsigmar.lexicanum.com/wiki/Elemental_Deity#Chaos_Gods

I can't believe Katakros went down 30 points for OBR. Let's hope we see some changes for their discipline points.

Batreps with the new rules have starting to pop up on YouTube and Twitch, they look quite fun with the new reactions, smaller maps, and abilities. We'll have to see what the new points do, but it looks like they did it to compensate for the smaller map.

Dominion's price and availability meant that our local AoS group convinced at least seven 40k players to take the plunge and start an AoS army. Hopefully, the new rules can keep them, a lot of the 40k guys complain about the double turn every single time we are playing AoS around them... without trying it when we offer a demo, of course.

berzerkmonkey posted:Well, good news for them - I've heard a couple people say AoS 3.0 is getting into the territory of 40K-lite now, with the changes. I have no idea if this is true or not, but if it is, I don't know how I feel about that. I like the two sharing a core, but I'm not at all keen on playing Warhammer: Age of 40K and only really seeing a change in army types (yes, I know it's not at that point - just saying I like the differentiation.)

Revelation 2-13 posted:The comparison is probably not to cursed city but more to the 40k box, which GW also kinda compared it to. That one sold out in hours and they had to do a super special extra run for half a year, despite an immense amount of reassurance that there would be more than enough for everyone before the launch. There hype for 9 was real, and space marines are way more popular than sigmarines. AoS is a different beast and if all the boring unboxing videos can get some people to make the jump and start an army with Dominion or whatever, that's a win in my book. And yes, Kruleboyz own.

Danimo posted:Reports from people who have got a lot of 3.0 games in reflect a decent change in how the "double turn" feels. The heroic actions, monster rampages and extra command point legimately make your opponent's turns more interactive. It isn't going to completely nullify the advantage of getting two turns in a row, sure, but thats just the game.

I'm a little late to the sales-chat but there's actually a chart of the Top 5 Non-Collectible Miniature Lines that reflects sales based on interviews with retailers, distributors, and manufacturers. Warhammer 40k has been #1 for a while: https://icv2.com/articles/markets/view/41010/top-5-non-collectible-miniature-games-spring-2018 https://icv2.com/articles/markets/view/45370/top-5-non-collectible-miniature-games-fall-2019 https://icv2.com/articles/markets/view/47882/top-5-non-collectible-miniature-lines-fall-2020 Still, once it reached the list back in 2018, AoS has been a constant presence among the top 5 in sales. Now, look at this one from 2015: https://icv2.com/articles/markets/view/32096/top-5-non-collectible-miniature-lines-spring-2015 Or this one from 2014: https://icv2.com/articles/games/view/30000/top-5-non-collectible-miniature-lines-summer-2014 The last time Warhammer Fantasy appeared in the top 5 sales was in the summer 2013 report: https://icv2.com/articles/games/view/27069/top-5-non-collectible-miniature-lines-summer-2013 Now, there's not to say that it wasn't selling, but just take a look at the other games on that list and you'll see why it was worrying to GW. Yes, there was a lot of mismanaging, but I'm still in the opinion that ending Fantasy was the right choice, really badly done, but that's another conversation.

neaden posted:AoS is a better setting for a wargame then the Old World. The setting is more malleable so you can feel more free to create your own dudes without worrying where they fit in the map. It also makes it easier to explain why any two armies are fighting where in the Old World they might be on separate continents. Since it's also not as tied with a historically inspired setting it's also more diverse racially and gender wise where in the Old World nonwhite races were more just of the side of the map and not a playable faction. For all that people make fun of Stormcast as being sigmarines they give a showcase faction that lets you be more of a straightforward good guy rather then fascist child soldiers. Years later, I played a bunch of Total War: Warhammer, decided to give the tabletop game another chance and I was pleasantly surprised that it was a whole new thing.

Not to mention they used those realms a lot in... well, "Broken REALMS". Now with the new General's Handbook only located in Ghur, it looks like they are going to use them for these "seasons" of matched play.

Deofuta posted:OBR seem to be in a rough spot if you decide not to play with Katakros. The generation of points is there but not having access to the new general command abilities is tough when they are so darn good. Also only being able to use each ability once and each unit can only be effected by one ability is something to get used to as well.

I went to pick up my Dominion box and apparently, the owner of my FLGS got 50 boxes and already sold 30 in just preorders and another 10 from people coming to the store, not bad for a store in a third-world country. I can't wait to start teaching people to play.
