Gen_Glory:
So I was wondering what warhammer was up to nowadays and OH LAWDY

It seems Warhammer Fantasy is being replaced with 40K lite

Not sure how I feel about seeing a beloved game change so radically (I would say ruined but I can't say that til I try it)

So what are everyones opinions on this??

Jubal:
As a fluff gamer, a little part of me is now broken :(

Seriously though, it's gone from a mid range fantasy that is generally relatively low/gritty with high fantasy flourishes to being beyond high fantasy. The AoS fluff is fantasy at arsonist in a marijuana farm levels of high.

The interim rules for old models are apparently intentionally stupid to shame people into moving to new armies - apparently with those new armies it isn't a bad game mechanically though.

Silver Wolf:
I have 2 major problems with AoS:
1) Few decades of lore being replaced by something that's rather mediocre
2) Lack of depth and strategy

That's enough for me.
I won't be joining the AoS club.

I like the look of the new Khorne models, though.
I might get then eventually, convert them a bit and base them on square bases.

Gen_Glory:
the rules are at least free

though reading through them it turns out it has gone pay 2 win as the only limit to your forces are the amount of models you have....

Jubal:
I hadn't noticed that. Oh dear. :/
