Get ready for a whole new era in Warhammer Age of Sigmar – the game is evolving with a fresh edition featuring a revamped set of core rules. One of the key changes? Modular rules. But what exactly does that mean?
In simple terms, the game now comes in two flavors: Core Rules and Advanced Rules. The Core Rules cover the basics – moving, fighting, shooting – perfect for quick, simple battles. The Advanced Rules dive deeper into Commands, Magic, and more for those epic, tactical showdowns.
According to Ben, the Product Developer, this modular setup means you can start with the Core Rules and add in the Advanced Rules as needed. Or, skip them altogether if you prefer – although some battlepacks may require them. It’s all about making the game accessible to everyone, from newbies to veterans.
Matt, the rules guru, sees modularity as a game-changer. It means Warhammer Age of Sigmar can cater to various playstyles – narrative, competitive, you name it. Want to play a fast-paced Spearhead game? Just stick to the Core Rules.
But the real magic of modularity? It opens up endless possibilities for the game’s future. No more clunky rulebooks – now, each season can introduce fresh twists seamlessly. Whether it’s focusing on monsters, magic, or new command mechanics, the modular structure makes it easy to adapt.
Imagine a themed battlepack like “Magic of Andtor” seamlessly replacing standard magic rules for a season. No need for messy errata – just plug and play. Plus, if adjustments are needed down the line, a new General’s Handbook can tweak things without disrupting the whole game.
This system promises clarity for beginners and flexibility for veterans. And with exciting ideas brewing for the future, it’s a thrilling time to be an Age of Sigmar player. Tomorrow, we’ll delve into another intriguing aspect of the game – the tactical priority roll. Stay tuned!
