Our group has been discussing Age of Sigmar more, and how to balance it. This was one guy's actual response. I wanted to share, I felt @najo and @The Sun King might get a kick out of it. Just some musings I have had kicking around in my head. Balance in Age of Sigmar I think I have it...

Since our Club went to Buckeye Battles the weekend Age of Sigmar released (and we sent Warhammer 8th off in style!!) this past weekend was our first chance to really get some games in with the new game. We played 6+ games across the day and amongst various opponents. We used the following...

It should be noted that the App has several things in it that are inaccurate. For instance, the Glotkin scroll is missing the page with his scaling stats on it. And Than'quol's damage and woulds page is for another unit entirely. Despite these errors, its a cute app that saves me from...

Hey, just passing along the news. Vampire Counts (not Undead Legions) took 2nd Best Overall and Best General at Buckeye Battles this past weekend. With a Vampire Lord on a Zombie Dragon. I know it's a dead game and all, but still thought some folks might be interested.

Considering the prevalence of violence in the media today, and the way video game/movie media ratings are structured, it's not that surprising. Back Fat has never been censored, and stories that involve armed conflict at all will eventually lead to someone being killed so it's more commonly...

Did you try the core rules or the war scrolls? All the war scrolls work for me, but not the core ruleset.

HAHA, I didn't even think about the similarity to the guy in the video from Total War:Warhammer. Honestly just wanted to use a different model for the Vampire Lord and I knew I wasn't using Manfred from the Mortarch kit. So you can still say you were first, I don't mind!

Anyone else notice you can no longer download the Age of Sigmar Rules from their website? If you click on the download it redirects you to their default page...

I gotta think this is another money driving opportunity. Slaanesh "disappears" and then they can do a $200 campaign book about his followers finding and freeing him. This allows them to get him out of the core rulebook which allows them to lower the target starting age (children 12+) and at...

This is my Vampire Lord on a Zombie Dragon. I am pretty happy with how he turned out. I have some more shading to do on the wing membranes and more highlights on the armor for the Vampire but it's probably one of my better pieces.

It's a secret plot to sell 20$ finecast models.

I can really get behind a lot of this, but the lack of a system to even ATTEMPT to make opposing forces balanced.....I just cannot get my head around how to make a fair game?

I am really starting to think combined profiles, even if you give ward and armor saves to the mount will not make monster riders overpowered. With cannons unlikely to change drastically, they still ignore armor and so at best get a 50/50 shot to save. Large infantry blocks still hold up...

Given how close Age of Sigmar is, and that it will likely make any tactica written for 8th obsolete, I'd hate to have you go through all that work. However a short synopsis would be appreciated. If the unit really is as straight forward as it seems (move turn one, angle for flank charges, then...

Anyone have a link to a tactica covering the Vampire Lord on a Zombie Dragon? I thought there was one around here somewhere but cannot find it for the life of me. I have suddenly come into a need for reviewing the tactics surrounding the unit.
