Hey everyone! In this battle report Reecius and Frankie give Age of Sigmar another try. Reecius adds another unit of Judicators and Frankie sticks with the starter box Chaos. Who will prevail? Who will rage quit? Find out tonight.
Tell us what you all think of Age of Sigmar and we will see you in the next vid! Be sure to check out the Tactics Corner for more great video bat reps!
The background music is really cool, but i think its a bit to loud. its like you two are competing with the noise
The music’s volume is too loud from time to time, and require some more focusing on their voices. It’s quite good actually, I enjoyed it.

OK, thanks for the feedback. We will work on getting the background sound at the right level.
That game was so shit. I’m sorry I don’t have anything more constructive to add. That does not look fun at all and makes me not only never want to play AoS, it also makes me fearful of what GW will do to 40k going forward.
It does feel like an incomplete game, I agree. I don’t know what they’re thinking, exactly.
So, may I make a few suggestions if you guys decide to keep playing this.
First, play with a battleplan or with objectives. Just like 40k the game is a lot more fun with one of the scenarios or when it is objective based. This can also be accomplished through a comp system like clash of blades.
Second, is to use a comp system to calculate your armies. Clash of blades has a decent one as well as the website war of sigmar.
Third, this game is still new I think with time the comp systems will get to a place where it could be fantastic. Already there are some really promising things on the internet. The thing is it will take the community to get it done as GW seems to have no interst in balancing.
This. Not playing with battleplans and realm rules is like playing any game out of the starter box with only the introduction leaflet and no main rulebook – aka boring.
Yeah, agreed. We definitely want to give the game a fair shake. I think you have to massively house rule it to make it work, and we will be doing that.
I don’t think you have to massively comp it. We’ve played it loads in my group and beyond quick and easy conversation between players prior and during the game it’s worked great.
That’s what I don’t like about AoS, it’s like buying a 1/2 finished product
It does feel that way at this point in time.
Been playing games as per Rawdogger’s setup with 50 wounds, and a limit of 2 hero, 2 monster, 2 wizard traits total, and picking from the scenarios. The dynamic of terrain buffs is a cool facet to the game – everyone has been having a great time. Maybe we can get some Battle Reports made at this end 🙂
Yeah, that sounds like fun, and a simple, easy fix.
Better yet, why not just write a points system for the game?
In all honesty though, I had planned on getting into fantasy cause alot of my friends were into it. But since AOS they’ve all sold their armies & moved onto either Infinity, Warmahordes or X Wing.
Infinity is pretty awesome. I’d love to see some FrontlineGaming Infinity Battle Reports.
We have 1 Infinity Bat Rep! Just have not had time to do more.
Man… Age of Sigmar is just hard to watch. I appreciate FLG giving it a chance and all but wow, it’s so far away from being a complete, good game.
Yeah, we will keep trying it, but it is a bit rough at this point in time.
Try this: http://www.scrollbuilder.com
But make lists that are over by 5 scrolls, then play games at 15 points but with a 5 point “sidebar”, this way as you play a series of games you can moderately tweet your list as you play from game to game, if you were looking for a tournament style game…
We will definitely give that a look!
Will you guys ever consider giving Kings of War a try? That seems to be what’s replacing competitive Warhammer Fantasy in a lot of regions.
Not certain at this point. We’re open to any game, but time is always what we battle against.
Dumb game, but fair play for giving it a go.
Yeah, out of the box it is pretty crummy, to be honest. But, with some comp, I think it would be good fun.
You guys really need to use a scenario rather than only the base rules. The game is very different when you have objectives or some interesting goal rather than just “pile in and kill everyone”. Some open up new abilities and make the terrain more interesting. They also call for a lot more tactics and different strategies.
Playing like you did here really isn’t giving the game a fair shot. It would be like playing 40k with no objectives, just kill each other. Not nearly as fun.
We tried a scenario in the last battle, still ended up as a scrum in the middle =/
We want to like the game, we’re giving it multiple chances, but so far the game itself seems a bit dull. I really want to like it, though. Willing to try different play styles.
