Warhammer Warhammer Age of Sigmar: Storm Ground - turn-based tactics with cards

[Galdred]

The only saving grace of AoS is that the MUHREEN faction doesn't actually take center stage like it does in 40k, but I guess the guys behind this video game don't get it.

It is because fantasy space Marines just don't really work.
And they kind of existed before. They were named Chaos Warriors.
Just look at the beginning of Warhammer Online, when everyone was rolling a Chaos Chosen.
That is also why Chaos as launch DLC for Warhammer Total War made fans angry (but I suppose it would have been the same with all factions, except maybe Vampire Counts).

He-man bullshit.

I'll play it if it's good. I'm not married to the old setting; I really don't give two shits about Warhammer lore, setting or anything like that. Only the aesthetic matters to me, and from what I've seen in Age of Sigmar only the Sigmarines look dumb as shit. Lizardmen and Skaven are still dope, which is all that matters.

Eh, in my opinion AOS is slowly overtaking 40k in terms of lore, have you read the recent 40k books and supplements? Trash. Considering what they did to Ghaz, I have a feeling the Silent king is going to get whacked and shake his fist at the space marines who beat him. Anyway, I will shake my head to anyone that pre-orders the game without actually seeing gameplay. But as you know such people always exist.

It looks like the "latest" Might & Magic: Heroes 7.
Which looked like some overdrawn, oversaturated anime.

It reminds of Dawn of War III - but that's no surprise because Matthew Kuzminski is on board.

Lore is for secondaries, only plastic matters.

Lore is for secondaries, only plastic metal matters.

Fixed.

Metal is for nostalgiafags. Real niggas convert.

Age of sigmar looks so janky somehow and I don't mean the game here necessarily. Models, names, factions, the map and all else it feels like a knockoff mobile game meant to sell coins for skipping queues.

You think so, huh?

Fuck off redshirt, it's still mostly GW product (see I used GW sprues as a support)

 

[MadMaxHellfire]

way to miss the joke.

 

[Space Satan]

Age of Sigmar is shit

I don't have high hopes for this ever turning out good.

It's published by Focus, and their recent Warhammer releases were met with lukewarm reception - mostly because they were released too early, with poor AI and many bugs.

And the dev studio has this blurb:
"Gasket Games is a studio dedicated to developing online games using innovative match-making and streaming technologies [...]".

Besides, it's Age of Sigmar.

I wonder if it will keep some of the inane rules of AoS.

Ie:

Ancient Dignity: Dragons are ancient and prideful creatures, and the Elves that
ride them are no less haughty, but from such nobility and dignity stems an inner
strength. If, during your entire hero phase, you can maintain a dignified (even
arrogant) composure and not smile, smirk or laugh regardless of your opponent's
antics, you may re-roll all hit rolls of 1 made for models in a Dragon Host until
your next hero phase.

That wasn't even the stupidest rule.

One army gave you a bonus if you had a bigger mustache than your opponent.

Wasn't there also a rule for who gets the first move based on the length of the beard?

But I think it was only their attempt at humour and trying to go for the meme appeal, and people playing the game didn't really use those rules except for some beer games.

Silly stuff has its place. But the reason that people absolutely savaged GW over this crap was because at the time they LITERALLY burnt Warhammer Fantasy to the ground and replaced it with this idiocy, and instead of actual rules to play by they slapped us in the face with that crap. They didn't even have god damn point values on release, it was literally a joke to them.

I love Warhammer, both fantasy and 40k (fantasy more though - Total Warhammer 2 I'm 1 game away from 100% achievements and have 750 hours played). I will never, EVER touch any Age of Shitmar property.

Don't you wanna collect some cards? Release on May 27th.



Some focus on online PvP mode and the single-player campaign will be "roguelike".

 

[Space Satan]

Cards+Online PvP+Age of Sigmar = Bullshit combo

 

[MadMaxHellfire]

buzzwords and red flags everywhere. i'm always hopeful, sometimes even too much, but this time seems pretty hard to be such.
