Why would you state the same thing over and over again, because someone might've missed it? What if everyone would go around triple/quadruple/... posting his exact same opinion. Anyway, I come here mostly to lurk the narrative play section, my particular segue into AoS, the 9th Age then caters mostly to the r&f competitive side, still I'm no raving fanboy about either except maybe for well sculpted and painted plastic fantasy minis. That's why this release kind of bothers me, not merely the aesthetic part (de gustibus et...) but the kind of advanced tech setting direction it's likely a prelude of. I felt much the same about the chainswords, eye tech and other bits. But the times they are a changing i guess. Plus I love converting so its just a challenge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BaldoBeardo Posted March 17, 2017 Share Posted March 17, 2017 Fancy that, a 9th age player having a negative opinion on something new... I'm pretty sold on these. Everything feels like it's consistent with the AoS setting. Some nice touches on the minis. Background looks good. Thumbs up. Although, possible Cthulhu elves have now grabbed my interest...

Galas Posted March 17, 2017 Share Posted March 17, 2017 Those dwarfs are totally fantasy. Its other kind of fantasy. Its not the medieval-renaicess (I don't know how to write in english) type of fantasy of Warhammer Fantasy, just as Warhammer Fantasy wasn't the bronce-age fantasy of the world of Conan. Final Fantasy with his flying ships and magic empowered technology its a prime example of the type of Fantasy this dwarfs represent. But its not Sci-fi. If this dwarfs break your inmersion in the fantasy of Age of Sigmar its because you are not playing Age of Sigmar, you are still in the Old World. Not a bad thing you know, I play every week to Warhammer Fantasy. But we should critizise things for the thing they want to be, not how we think they should be. And in the "spam" of Dez... after years of rants and rants in Warhammer Forums, its refreshing to see someone really pasionate with Age of Sigmar as people was in the past with warhammer. Let people be happy. We need more happy people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Couldn't agree more, its been one of the really great things about AoS this far. I've loved the positivity, GW re-engaging with the community, trying new things, experimenting, and the general feeling of enthusiasm and the positive community that AoS has built up...long may it continue.

Aaah I wondered when... I play both tabletop games and for different reasons, can I, or do we all have to be in one camp or the other? Also notice the 'in my opinion' and 'personally' in my posts, I just don't like the world building direction this release seems to point to, and to me it's quite contrary to what I originally envisioned for the mortal realms setting, so I subsequently wondered if there were others feeling the same, but if that's already a dissent opinion I'll just as gladly go back to lurking.

There wasn't really a point to be made on that note, just that if browsing a thread and involuntarily noticing someone's name solely because of the same 'LOVE IIT' statement every other page the message might 've been clear after the first or second time. Discussing a release is about more than love/hate it right, you can appreciate a quality sculpt without loving its aesthetic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really liking the pale blue scheme we saw at GAMA displays. I am considering yellow ( similar to the Irojawz) for my fleet. Really feel they look better with less metallics.

At the beginning of the battle get a slap in the face from your opponent who put a lot of effort into at least doing three-colours and basing.

The Stronghold Posted March 17, 2017 Share Posted March 17, 2017 Wondering if it's just going to work like Space Marine chapters - there are well defined chapters with their own specific colour schemes and special rules, but you are still of course free to make up your own colour schemes and adopt any set of those special rules for your army.

What else is there to make of all these posts in just a single thread... Top notch meaningful DPRK style addition to the conversation. Personally not a fan at all, appreciate the sculpts not the feel. Not saying Tolkienesque dwarves were all that should be explored, but after those orc releases I kind of hoped that maybe we could return to normal scaled models, apparently not. These 'minis' don't just look grotesque, this steampunk/advanced tech is not something I can identify with in an, even epic, fantasy setting. No one is forcing me to buy them, but they will appear on tables and in tournaments. My personal fantasy immersion and enjoyment would be gone when that happens. Don't intend to be that doom 'n gloom guy but I'm recalling the original Sigmarine haters' outcry of AoS becoming 40k. Ridiculous, but now I'm less sure. You should see how much I'm getting paid in aethergold! I have a pool full of it, and I'm jumping in it RIGHT NOW Scrooge McDuck style! I've never been paid so well, I just strut around with my purple tuxedo on wearing a top hat and monocle and my personal GW Red Shirt carrying my banner that says "Haters gonna Hate" in glowing neon letters. Gettin' paid like Flava Flav, YEAH BOY!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dez Posted March 17, 2017 Share Posted March 17, 2017 Yeah it's purple and looks like Mr Monopoly, no beard though just big side burns. I'm also carrying around a cane, it's the key to Nottingham City Games Workshop Headquarters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure if it's been already been mentioned here but my guess is that they'll do "chapter tactics", with the easiest way to identify them being colours.
