So, Age of Sigmar has been out for just over a month now, and I for one have been playing a LOT of it. For me, it has actually overtaken 40k in my favourite game to play. I find that it is a lot less clunky, and there are less rule debates, it's really fun.
So here's the point, how about we share some new war stories?
I have been fighting a bitter war against Chaos it seems, almost exclusively. So far I have played against High Elves twice, Daemons of Chaos three times, Warriors of Chaos three times and Skaven four times.
I have won most of my Age of Sigmar games so far. Though not without sustaining ridiculously high casualties. My Prosecutors never make it through a game, it's quite laughable now. :D
The Skaven army I keep playing is the army belonging to my best friend, he loves his Skaven, in ye olde systeme he had roughly 8000ish points of them. I'm now trying to assemble enough forces of Order to my cause to be able to fight his entire Chaos army. (he has a few Daemons and Warriors too)
I have beaten him twice, one of the times he beat me was in a doubles game, Skaven and Nurgle Daemons vs my Stormcast and some Empire. Admittedly, he was knocked out of the fight quite early, as my strategic lightning strikes managed to pull the two allies apart and smash them individually. My teammate did virtually nothing. Which has made me dubious about Karl Franz, as he seems a bit naff to be honest.
Now here is where the bulls*** comes in. The Daemons player is a lovely guy, and an amazing friend too, but he annoyed me so much in this game, you see, he seems to be massively lucky. My Retributors were desperately trying to hack through a Plaguebearer unit to get to the Ritual site to help out my Lord-Celestant (upon his jokily named mount Fluffy) and the thing about Daemons is, if they have a banner and roll for Battleshock, on a 1 they get d6 models back. My Retributors could not kill this unit as they managed to get a total of 17 models back. He rolled a 1 three times! Grrrrrrrrr. Unfortunately the Chaos side managed to kill the General of the army (Fluffy) and the secondary General (Karl Franz) in the same turn as they were both suitably battered.
If my teammate had listened to the strategy I was coming up with, things may have been a bit different.
So guys, what are your Age of Sigmar experiences? And do you have any models to share pictures of?
