Does anybody actually like AoS. I don't frequent Veeky Forums often enough to pick up the general tone that people have taken towards it and am curious. I used to play quite a bit of Warhammer Fantasy back in the "good" old days and while hadn't played in a few years by the time AoS dropped I heard about the changes they made to both the fluff and the rules and found myself repulsed. Is my disgust founded? Honestly not trying to start a flame war, just looking for some honest opinions.

since the Generals Handbook I'm liking it, after a good solid few months of thinking it was boiled dog shit.
I'd still have prefered a proper ninth edition with some sort of skirmish rules to curb the army size bloat. Perhaps something like kill team in 40k.

The Generals Handbook? Is that the book that added point values back to models?
Parker Jackson
It added points values to units, not individual models nor upgrades. Kind of a lazy patch job really.
Still, does provide the ballpark game sizes for this to function on a basic level as a pick up game rather than something heavily negotiated.

I liked it. It's a fresh, newbie-friendly game. You can buy a half of starter set and one start collecting box to make an 1k point army and play with friends. Easy and understandable rules, good deals on boxes and comfy setting. I could pick AoS or 40k - picked Sigmar, regret nothing

That is at least something I can admit the old editions had a problem with, the immense cash investment it took to get playing and the rules were not exactly a breeze either.

A part of me can't quite get past the style choices. I understand that to make it more approachable they made it so it was a skirmish game rather than ranks of units and while I prefer ranks I get why they made the change. But why make the imperials look almost identical to space marines. Why twist the fluff so hard just because of a change in rules?

Because WHFB was dying so they could use it for experiments. Now GW knows what they should do or not with wh40k 8e

It's hot trash designed to sell plastic crack to teenagers. Anyone who likes it is suffering from severe Stockholm syndrome and needs mental help.

Has it actually picked up since AoS or is it still "not 40k so don't care" territory.
