Sure!
But just to know... do you have at least a vague idea of AoS game mechanics?
If this must turn into a mini-tutorial for AoS, better to know where to set the starting point.
I’ve skimmed over the core rules
SCE are... strong but not OP IMO. Just rather easy to play which makes them strong even when played by a beginner.
Good.
Yeah, the basic thing is that there is no more a confrontation "offensive ability vs defensive ability" to rule if you hit. each unit got a "to hit" value, and that suffices to see if you hit or not.
The same for "to wound", no more strenght vs thoughness.
You hit, you wound, then the opponent rolls the saves (modified by the rend of your weapon).
In the hero phase you activate command abilities and cast spells
No more ranks, and movement is like actual 40k. You go in the direction you want and you see 360°.
Basically, it's a much faster game, in the sense that it's fairly easy to see units that cross the battlefield in 1-2 turns.
Well, one thing at a time.
Staying on topic of our abilities...
Each army (or better, each Allegiance) gains one or more unique ability/ies.
Our most peculiar one, is "Lords of Space and Time".
Basically, each turn you can select one unit and teleport it wherever you want on the battlefield, at more than 9" from enemy's models.
to teleport the unit, you roll a d6: 1-2 it fails, 3-4 you succeed but the unit cannot move (but can shoot and charge), 5-6 the unit can also move.
With a Slann as general and the right command trait, you can teleport up to 2 units each turn.
Plus, with a Slann, we can summon units.
a Slann can cast normally up to 3 spells each turn (it's amongst the stronger casters in all AoS).
if you forego to cast a spell, you gain 3 conjuration points. Obviously, if you forego all 3 spells, you accumulate 9 conjuration points... 10 if the Slann is the general., These points can be increased by other things (special units, endelss spells and so on).
For example, with 12 points, you can summon 3 ripperdactyls, with 24 points you can summon a Oldblood on Carnosaur.
So, we're basically an army that can summon on the fly the units you need in that precise moment, and move your forces across the battlefield with a snap of the fingers.
Same here. Especially the Endless Spells added a layer of tactic there.
At no point was that line ever meant to be interpreted as anything other than a joke and a nudge back in the right direction. As @Killer Angel said, this thread was about helping a new player get into AoS, not arguing about which discontinued army should be picked instead. I was simply trying to get things back on track, and used the joke comment to attempt to do so in a friendly manner. That clearly backfired.While I acknowledge your point, I'd like to highlight that the sarcastic response made @ravagekitteh is probably not the best way to go about things. A simple "getting back on track.... blah blah blah" (or anything else in a similar vein) would have better sufficed.
In any event, I shall heed your wisdom and retire from this thread (until the time that my services are once again required).
I will say though that although I’ve never played WHFB, I do thoroughly enjoy AoS and would recommend getting into it regardless.Glad to see we’re all being helpful by explaining how much better the old system was, and how terrible the new armies are!
Fair enough, it would appear as though I mistook your meaning. In your very first post you specifically had tagged me even though I had absolutely nothing to do with it. On its own, I just disregarded it (especially as you clarified your position), but the second one in such quick succession gave me the feeling that there was a bit more to it. I didn't see the intended humour behind your second post because of the more serious tone of the first one. Anyways, I better understand your intention now so I apologize if anything I said was hurtful or offensive and I retract my previous statements.
I still maintain I wasn't the one to derail the tread (though I may have contributed to it
). Here is my line of reasoning...
Let us put it behind us fellow lizard.Oddly enough... yes!
I will counter with...
A gaming world that doesn't include Tomb King cannot be better than a universe with Settra.

I've missed these posts lmao hope you've been well!!
