Topknot87 Posted August 27, 2016 Share Posted August 27, 2016 So just getting into the game, never played fantasy, but I've always loved the idea of the Lizard Men. Decide to get into Sigmar and they're still here as the Serapon! Enjoying the battletome but when I go online to find some of the more specific models, like the Slann and Sunblood, GW is out of stock on a lot of the models. Can't seem to find them anywhere else. Could they be ramping up for new plastic models? Or is this omens of "you're an old army, be happy with what you got"? Has it been like this for a while?

rokapoke Posted August 27, 2016 Share Posted August 27, 2016 This happened in the past few months as well. They will restock and you can order them then. Don't sweat it - just start with whatever you can get. I definitely recommend the Start Collecting kit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sadysaneto Posted August 27, 2016 Share Posted August 27, 2016 If it got points under seraphon, it still lives on. If it got points under lizardmen compendium, its dead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rokapoke Posted August 27, 2016 Share Posted August 27, 2016 With my first kit I built a Troglodon. Next one I get will probably be an Oldblood on Carnosaur. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KhaosZand3r Posted August 27, 2016 Share Posted August 27, 2016 I noticed with the pricing on the Start Collecting kit, there is no reason to ever buy the standard Carnosaur/Troglodon kit instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swiftmus Posted August 27, 2016 Share Posted August 27, 2016 Indeed, those sets are very good deals and in a couple of cases make lone models pointless to buy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can still spend the same amount for that Carnosaur kit if that's what you really want... Or you can pay the same price and get some extra stuff. It may not be rational, but why complain?

Like gore-gruntas costing €67 while the ironjawz starting set cost €65 and you get the exact same gore-gruntats plus some more stuff... really? what's the point?

Veterannoob Posted August 27, 2016 Share Posted August 27, 2016 I have a ridiculously huge fully painted army and not sure when I'll play them so I'm selling a huge chunk, even then I'll have more than enough for variety. Just can't make myself excited to play them and want to do a non-Order army eventually (Warherds) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MechaBriZilla Posted August 28, 2016 Share Posted August 28, 2016 Ghb summoning rule is for matched play, still other ways to play, that let you use your army the same way you always have in AoS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rasmarog Posted August 28, 2016 Share Posted August 28, 2016 Yes I know that is for matched play. But currently I'm playing more matched than free play. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KhaosZand3r Posted August 28, 2016 Share Posted August 28, 2016 You can also house rule it, so long as your gamemates agree. Just modify the summoming rules in a way you will all support. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Fair enough, but don't forget to spread the gospel of open play. There are so many awesome battleplans out there that just don't work in a matched play context. There is so much more to this game than points, but with all the threads about optimal lists, and such I've been seeing, I'm afraid points are going to be the death of the best parts of this game.

Here in Portugal is really hard to find ppl to play AoS (mostly still on 8e). When I find someone for AoS, only plays pitched matches, or if we go for a custom scenario, they only want on strict points and rules for pitched matches.

This game is so good at telling stories instead of the tired old 'let's line up and fight' stuff. Of course, I've got to hand it to GW, at least the matched play battleplans are interesting. Just not as good as the narrative ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ppl who forget about how to have fun playing and only cares about winning, looking only for the most OPs armies and unities. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even with the GHB points, I really don't feel like the game is good for that style of play. I mean, points seem to be very loose, not super tight for a pure and even matched game. Of course, I've never felt like points did a particularly good job of balancing armies anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
