As creative as the new army books are, on the table the armies tend to turn into one trick ponies. I don't mind losing, but not even scratching the other player? It started to feel as if I had to take one of my modern armies out of the display case, run it past one of those boring 'meta list whatchamacallits' and turn the entire wargaming experience into a number crunching math exercise. Taking a big tool box fool of Orcs/Orruks to a game and achieving absolutely nothing against a modern army is taking its toll. I actually find myself souring on AoS on this count as well. His units are disappearing, no rules are forthcoming for classic fantasy armies and the current 'battle tomed' armies on a 'matched' playing field turn any classic army into bone soup (and not the good kind Nagash likes). I know a Dwarf player who soured on Age of Sigmar. Having my fully painted host assembled on the table here (and remembering I've got more painted models at home) makes me both happy and a bit proud.Īs a bit of extra motivation to play a Black Fire Pass scenario. After all Black Fire Pass is the site of multiple battles.įrom the moment I saw the Orc and Goblin horde in 1988's Warhammer Armies book, I wanted to play with one. Lets just take what I have and go for it. I actually have a plan, but in the end I decided against waiting to complete it. As to Black Fire Pass I was postponing this scenario because I felt it needed some custom terrain (and proper objective markers). Game wise they were (almost) always a hell of a lot of fun (even the ones we couldn't finish or that turned out not to work). Rules-wise they never quite worked out as planned (if they got of the ground at all). I've had a few tries running narrative scenario's and campaigns. One of the things on my to-do list was fight a big battle over Black Fire Pass. Meanwhile as one of those madmen that like both the current AoS lore AND the Old World I've just decided to go have fun right now (as to what is planned: que sera sera). They expect to take about two or three years to give us more clarity on what this will mean. As most likely none of you missed, GW recently announced that its necromancers are hard at work resurrecting the Old World.
