How do?
So I’m pretty much a NooB at AoS. Played it a handful of times when it first came out, but due to real life, had an enforced hiatus from hobbying in general (three to four hour commutes are rubbish).
But I can now work from home, even when Nurgle isn’t having shenanigans, which means I can attend my local club without having to worry about being home particularly early.
And it’s to AoS I’ve returned. Got the latest rules, and a decent sized collection of Bonereapers I swear I’ll get painted in time.
What I’m looking for here is kind of a beginners guide, focussing on the non-obvious. I know the turn structure and how buff stacks work etc. But given my local club (Hydra club in Tunbridge Wells) has at least two genuinely world class players, I’m looking for a wider picture of what to look out for.
Ideally I want general game stuff, as at the moment my frame of reference is too small for army specific ‘wotcha and gotcha’ things. But hey, if you want to chip in with a ‘wotcha’ for specific armies or list builds, I’ll still read it, digest, and be thankful for your input
In case peeps want to weigh in with Ossiarch specific stuff? I’ve got all the characters, barring the Generic Horsey Lord, 60 Mortek Guard (40 built as sword and board as two units of 20), 15 Kavalos Horsey Dudes (going with spears, as cavalry without look wrong to me), 2 Harvesters (Bludgeons), 2 Crawlers, 6 Immortis Guard, 3 Necropolis Stalkers (another 3 on order), and the Endless Spells. I do intend to get the terrain piece, but finding one in stock is difficult right now!
Right. Over to you. Show me the mysteries of AoS!
