Gave it a 7, as I consider it being inferior to 8th, but not a bad game.
 
I can't find any sign of anyone playing it or 8th edition anywhere near me.

Since all I have is theoryhammer I am not gonna pick a number. So, reserving judgement.

Also, what is there to compare it to?

It is unlike all previous versions of Warhammer and it is rather different from other Skirmish Games.

It is incomparable —just not necessarily in a good way.

I agree that there is no real direct comparison for it. The poll is more about your general thoughts and feelings about it. How much do you like or dislike it? How well does it fulfill your criteria for an "ideal" wargame?
 
Gave AoS an 8, 8th a generous 7 (could have gone for 6).
 
So about 1 week into voting we have the following results...

Age of Sigmar has an average rating of 4.0 (10 total votes)

Warhammer 8th edition has an average rating of 7.6 (13 total votes)


Let's get some more votes in for the polls!
 
I put in 7 as of right now though it may be a little early in aos's life to give a truly accurate representation a lot of these views will probably change given time.

You'll definitely need to post another poll a year or two down the line
 
I gave it 8 as I really enjoy it and my son loves it to bits, he has the app on his ipod and compiles his army list as do I.

Never played any other game so not voting in relation to another version just how much we like it, if more models were available at this point it would have got a 9.

At the very least, the rate of model release has been very rapid so far. It won't be that long until the game is well stocked with new models.

I agree but Having looked over and over at the stormcast eternals they are too much like 40k, the Khorne I like alot and will probably start a chaos army but I'm trying to be firm and finish all Lizardmen and Dark elves I have before it happens.
 
Here are the updated poll results...

Age of Sigmar has an average rating of 4.9 (26 total votes)

Warhammer 8th edition has an average rating of 7.5 (20 total votes)


8th edition is still ahead by a significant margin, but the gap is closing.

Let's get some more votes in for the polls!
 
Well, hard to say. I think as far as a game it gets a 3. Not something I will find myself playing often. And not something I think I'll enjoy. I'll be enjoying the company and the hobby, not the game. Fluff is a 5 since I dislike what has become of the space lizards. As far as models, I'm going to give it a straight 10. Because I do like the sigmar marines. Sure they look like 40k rip offs, but heavily plated knights with huge weapons are more than welcome and relatively lacking in WHFB. GW human/elf races are severely lacking in looks imo. And the rate at which models are being released is fantastic.

That puts me at a 6. Wow. I didn't see that coming. Only 2 points lower than my 8th rating.

They have just arrived and I have to say they are very nice models, the detail is very crisp even on the stormcast which have gone straight on ebay!

@NIGHTBRINGER you have a chaos army, what would you add to the starter set, Khorne themed.

I don't play AoS so I can't help there. For 8th edition, you can't go wrong with some chariots and Skullcrushers. I personally love the hellcannon, but many do not. The chimera can also be a very potent addition.

For a Khrone theme, you pretty much can't do better than Skullcrushers... they are the epitome of Khorne.

(Long live Tzeentch :D)
 
AoS started in a very poor way. around 3.
Then it slowly arised to a good level of tactic (very different from oldhammer, but nonetheless required thinking), balanced with not so heavy rules.
at least a 7, aiming for 8.
ATM (and IMO) it's worsening, due to too many rules that go against the core mechanics, and too many over-the-top units / armies. In this moment, it's a 6.
 
I voted it a 7 because I like the game and the core rules, but there are so many glaring balance issues and over-the-top units as @Killer Angel said.
