AoS - 3rd Wargrove of Woe: Best and Worst Factions for New Players [Ossiarchs take 1st Worst]

[Grave Tacticus]

His opnion is when you play OBR, you don't learn how to play Age of Sigmar properly. I disagree, in order to pilot OBR, you need to know the rules backwards and forwards, otherwise you could get blindsided by your opponent, who, in fairness, if playing a slightly different game than you. Sure, Ossiarchs is probably the worst faction for a new player to get into, but more so because you have to master two rulesets. 100% agree on price point and not having a start collecting box. Come on GW, gimme some love!

Yeah I agree with you there Grave Tacticus. However, I think these issues will get solved as soon as OBR gets a 3.0 battletome released. Only question is when?

My guess is next year or the year after. Flesheater Courts needs an update much more than OBR.

As a "former" FEC player I would tend to agree but I actually think that OBRs rules have aged worse than FEC. What FEC really need though is new units (and I dont mean random heroes).

Re: ossiarch price point, the mortek guard are a saving grace. Compared to elite infantry at similar points costs in other factions, Morteks are an absolute steal. You get 2 to 3 boxes of those, and they'll go a long way towards making up for the high price point of the other units, even without a 'start collecting' to work with. And, let's be honest, a lot of start collecting boxes are pretty bad, actually, and should be avoided regardless.
