Nht500 Posted October 10, 2017 Share Posted October 10, 2017 Hi guys. thought I’d pop a message on here to get a bit of advice. have been out of the hobby since the days of 8th ed. Combo of moving away from my regular group plus really loosing the fantasy mojo (can pinpoint the moment. Day 1 at a Warrington event, horrid migraine and putting a high elf list with 2 dragons down only tfor face cannon after cannon after cannon. Why did a cannon ball hit both rider and mount?!) anyway, have kept getting GW emails and finally cracked and started looking at stuff again. its a bit tricky to find out exactly what happened to the old world but think I’ve got the hang of it now. wondered what advice people would have for someone possibly looking to get back into the hobby. an idiots guide to AoS would be fantastic if one exists! have read a few posts and listened to the odd podcast, but feel like it’s all a different world to me!

Aginor Posted October 10, 2017 Share Posted October 10, 2017 Welcome! Well, I think getting the free basic rules PDF and/or the General's Handbook 2017 is recommended. What armies do you still have? Maybe we can even give you some hints on how they play now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Killax Posted October 10, 2017 Share Posted October 10, 2017 Well it certainly is a different world! What Id say you can do is check the rules first and download the Age of Sigmar app so you can check many unit entries (Warscrolls). Cheers, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlphaKennyThing Posted October 10, 2017 Share Posted October 10, 2017 It really is a good game. It appears very simple at first, but when you get stuck in with one of your armies (the rules for which are free, in the form of 'warscrolls' on the Age of Sigmar app or on the GW website) in a game, it becomes quite apparent things are more tactically complex than at first glance. I heartily recommend giving it a go, the game is a lot more fun now in my opinion, with an ever increasing player base. Although the lore of the Old World was much better, the game itself is very good. As mentioned above, the best purchase would be the General's Handbook 2017; this lists all the different ways to play and contains all the rules for all the different play styles.

Nht500 Posted October 10, 2017 Author Share Posted October 10, 2017 Thanks guys. gonna have a look and see if I can pick up a few games. have got some wood elf’s somewhere I think. Did have a bunch of high elves and ogres, but think they’re all gone now. thinking might pick up some stormcasts as have a lot less time and less models would be better for me! generals handbook seems to give just plain warscrolls. Did hear Ben on bad dice mention about a celebrant (I think) with a 1+ rerollable save. Are there upgrades/wargear somewhere? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soulsmith Posted October 10, 2017 Share Posted October 10, 2017 Welcome back to the hobby The Handbook has basically everything you need to play, so that includes your wargear, as well as your traits which are like character/army upgrades. And a bunch of battleplans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nht500 Posted October 10, 2017 Author Share Posted October 10, 2017 Ha. Have the digital copy and got to the blank army list sheet and assumed that was the end of the book! Guess old habits die hard. lots more to read now though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
