[AoS28 - The Dark Age of Sigmar]

Some great figures but remember the other goal is to get you thinking about background and story. Think of it like putting together a RPG group for Dungeons & Dragons. The Nine Realms are huge and you can claim any part as your own: invent a city or a guild or a family. It's not just a nameless Stormcast, he's an individual with a reason for having beat-up armour and hanging around with Orruks.

Great, thanks, now I just have to try and pin myself down to one force.... but which one..... hmm...

Not if you don't want to. Your warband could consist of models from all Grand Alliances and factions. If you use the Hinterlands rules there is some leeway allowed for this in the AoS28 expansion. If you don't use rules then do whatever is cool. Personally I like the idea of a 'friendly' Orruk working as muscle for a human witch hunter.

I don't have much spare time these days but i'm going to try and submit something :).

Any issues if for someone like me very unlikely to play any games the figures don't really fit any rules and may use bits from other manufacturers?

The suggested rules - Hinterlands - are really flexible. But AoS28 is mainly about the aesthetic and the ideas, rules are entirely secondary. 

And personally I have no issue with non-GW parts, I've used a few myself in my warband.

Yeah this stuff looks really cool. Do you have a blog anywhere with backgrounds or stories? Looks like you have a whole thing going on.

I love this idea, bit worried my conversion skills won't be up to scratch. I'd like to give it a go though!

You don't have to convert, but in my opinion it's a pretty easy skill these days - you don't have to do anything fancy, a simple headswap can make a huge difference. Like those Sylvaneth Spite Revenants for example - they have really cool heads that could easily be stuck on a Stormcast body to make some sort of Vampire Stormcast. Takes no skill, just an eye for bits and some imagination for a back story.

Hello everyone. So I think this is going to be pretty cool.

I've been involved with Inq28 for a long time, and my favourite part of White Dwarf every month is the Blanchitsu section. But I'm also hugely interested in the Age of Sigmar and I think there is a lot of potential in the setting for introducing some of what makes Inq28 so much fun: the conversions, the stories, the shades of grey and the grimdark.

I know some of you are doing this sort of thing already, but for those of you looking for an excuse to get started with warbands and alternative takes on the Nine Realms then hopefully this is the place for you.
