SIGMARINES

WE ARE THE SIGMARINES

OUR ENEMIES DIEEEEEEEEEEEEE

 

[Nortar]

If only it was set in the old world.
AoS is such a pos, the game does not excite me at all.

 

[BrotherFrank]

On paper it seems like it could be fun but yeah, fuck the sigmarines.

 

[udm]

Yeah not a fan of the AoS lore. Countless videos later and I still don't understand what it's all about. The only good thing about AoS is that it gave us Warcry and Warhammer Underworlds.

 

[Haba]

FUCK
Sigmar
FUCK IT!

In the name of emperor, why ?

 

[Bara]

I'd have more interest in this if they had the guts to have the campaign being about mortals from the old world tring to survive in the wreckage of the realms instead if the sigies.

 

[Beowulf]

Yeah, I'm confused.

Why the fuck anyone would make a game in this gay ass AOS setting, when old world is still very much alive and popular among gamers - vide Warhammer Total War and Vermintide titles.

 

[MadMaxHellfire]

gw gonna gw.
they hate profit, good videogames and common sense.

 

[LizardWizard]

Games Workshop already revived Warhammer Fantasy after the success WH2. They even hinted at Kislev content

I'm not a fan of the new Age of Sigmar stuff either. But, come on, it's a skirmish-level, turn-based Warhammer fantasy strategy game. I'm at least willing to give it a shot.

That's how they get you.

Next thing you know, you'll be buying one of those:

Warhammer fantasy=/=Age of sigmar. This isn't even me being annoyingly pedantic, it's how games workshop themselves have marketed it from the start.

Anyways we will see, the promise of a decent skirmish level wargame is why I'm still vaguely interested. But having it be nothing but sigmarines in the promotional material (save for some poor ghosties about to be roflstomped in the pic) isn't exactly a great first impression.

 

[vonAchdorf]

Yeah not a fan of the AoS lore. Countless videos later and I still don't understand what it's all about.

It's about trademarks and IP.

 

[baud]

They absolutely LOVE profit, so much that their latest published financial results are like, the best ever. But they sure take some stupid decision sometimes.

And I'm not really surprised they decided to go with a setting they are currently supporting

 

[vonAchdorf]

The current CEO is much more efficient in making money. The old one antagonized the customer base while he's successfully pretending to be their friend.

 

[Beowulf]

To be honest games like Warcry and Warhammer Underworlds look decent and interesting and might be fun for people with different degrees of interest into dice chucking combat. It's just that their new designs are not that appealing to me and whenever I see or read about Sigmarines, I lose interest.

It might be just pure nostalgia factor, I really miss the Old World atmosphere and lore.

 

[udm]

Yeah not a fan of the AoS lore. Countless videos later and I still don't understand what it's all about.

I know about that, but it's the lore that still eludes me. It feels like someone had a brain fart while piss drunk, then everyone decided that was a grand idea and just ran with it, adding details along the way while high on more than just booze.

I swear, there was a meeting at GW where somebody pitched this and was met with looks of disgust, only to say a single, redeeming phrase that not only got Warhammer Adventures greenlit, but also a promotion and a hefty raise.

"We'll roll this into a (actually successful) mobile game."

 

[vonAchdorf]

I know about that, but it's the lore that still eludes me. It feels like someone had a brain fart while piss drunk, then everyone decided that was a grand idea and just ran with it, adding details along the way while high on more than just booze.

Agreed. The map also looks like one of those "gamey" maps where all places of interest where located right next to each other with no filler.

 

[lightbane]

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.

 

[orcinator]

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.
