    When did this happen ?

    Ok, it look like another set of rules we can use to play with our Lizardmen armies.
    I took a quick glance and it seems a lot like 8th edition.

    Looks like there is a lot of GW's intellectual property in there. Surprised that they copy GW's stuff so blatantly.

    I would absolutely love to see AoW create an entire range of Lizardmen models. Their models are fantastic in my opinion (though their shipping times leave much to be desired).

    Ok, I just had a better look at their core rules, and I have to say, they look pretty decent,
    there is a lot of emphasis in different unit formation and issuing orders with your unit commanders.
    this makes quite different tactically from GW's game.

    What surprises me is that they are using the same names: Slann, Kroxigor, etc. I can imagine GW going after them for that.

    Well.... they did kinda abandon those after they changed all of their names....
    and this is a guide for using another companies miniatures, so maybe using their correct names is the way to go ?
    Either way i'm happy cause I can tell what they are talking about. :p

    Me too. It's always tough when all the names are changed. That's the current case with 9th Age. Remembering all the new Saurian Ancient's names isn't too bad... but I'm not yet familiar with the new names given to the units of the other armies.

    It's amazing how many competing games have popped up in the wake of the death of WFB.

    As mentioned, GW did abandon the old stuff with the move to AoS. While lawyers still can argue on who has the intellectual property, it is very hard to win a case when you do a complete rewrite of the lore and stop selling the old books and models (for models, under the old names).

    I believe they are located in Spain.

    I find that odd, I would imagine that even doing a complete overhaul should have absolutely no bearing on their legally owned rights. Not that I mind, AoW produce some great stuff and I look forward to seeing more of it.

    ... Links seemed to mysteriously disappear ...

    Guess GW lawyers found out....
    ... Suppose they got a "Cease and Desist letter"
