What does Veeky Forums have to say about Kings of War? Since GW done fucked on all us fantasy lovers with this Age of Sigmar bullshit, I need my fix of fantasy tabletop. I was going to use their models for 9th Age anyways, was just wondering if their rules are any good as another system.

Did you actually try age of Sigmar and find it not to your liking, or did you just believe all the memes?

I've read the rules and watched a few games. I really don't like it.

>eh, I'll get into it when the historical rules come out and I can play my romans against skaven
>check website
>it came out 2 days ago
FUCK

i find it dull, boring, and tries too hard to be balanced and competitive friendly.

but it's biggest offender is the thing where you don't remove models from damage.

i understand many like it, and that's fine, but I wonder if people only like it because hating AoS has become a meme

It's simple, precise and tactically deep.
There's not a lot to say, because everything is right there in the rules and the core rules are free on the website.
I really like it, but some people can't get over the abstractions.

I mean Sigmar's not at all similar to Kings of War at all really so it's not even a valid comparison.

On topic, Kings of War is the game I always wished Warhammer was. Easy to get into, but with a lot of subtleties to master, without being bloated and unwieldy.

Removing models adds nothing but making combat take a little longer.

>Likes model removal in mass combat game

It's tedious, more likely to damage models, prevents multi-basing and it can be simulated quicker and easier with a rules abstraction at this scale.

So you didn't try it?

I personally liked the rank and file of 8th edition. If I wanted circular bases I would play 40k.
