I tried it. Daemons v Daemons. After doing nothing but rolling dice for 2 hours in CC I decided to never play the game again. The other guy who tought me said most games are like that due to low shooting.
Like from turn 2 all our models were in combat and were punching each other. He won because he rolled 3 1s in a row for battleshock and maintained his 20+ model buff despite me making him lose it 3 times…
There are a lot of shooting armies, and most “combat” armies have at least some shooting or magic options.
What armies specifically were you playing? Nothing but lesser Daemons vs lesser Daemons isn’t going to be that exciting, but playing a mirror matchup with two low damage/high model count armies isn’t that exciting. If I played my first game of 40k with nothing but Nids vs Nids with mostly Troops I would be bored too.
I would honestly say that you had an atypical experience and should try again.
My heart skipped a beat when I thought this was a 40k match. Alas :'(
Gonna check it out anyway, Daemons allowing me to also play AOS has been interesting.
AoS is a great game! I seriously love it, give it a whirl!

Which is really sad because the miniatures look amazing.
