Poll: What is the most probable future for your Lizardmen?

These comments warm my little Lizard heart (but in a good way, I'm still cold-blooded!).

Pollbringer is experimenting with different types of polls. At the very least, I hope it to serve as a quick tool to find like minded Lizards.

 

Honestly, I haven't played a wargame for so long it's a hard to answer. This is more out of circumstance than want as I would like to play again soon. The gods demand it.

Given that I don't have the time to play games at the moment, I'm very likely just to stick with 8th ed. Moving further than that I will definitely involve myself in AoS to some degree (I want a few games to get a feel of it). Other than that, Kings of War's forthcoming Salamanders sounds interesting so I may dabble in those waters.

As it happens however, I'm not looking for any great change - sticking with GW is the most convenient choice for myself and my local opponents. 8th ed. and AoS are the most likely future for me.

 

Pollbringer extends a formal apology. Pollbringer admits to getting overly excited and carried away with polls!

 

That's a good point. GW being the most prevalent force in the wargaming market means that it is usually the most convenient one.

 

I have a group of friends and we can go back to 7th edition. That being said, I like AoS and I think I'm sticking with it for now (or until something better comes along.) The game might seem simplistic, but there is something about me placing two units and a hero (hero is not even necessary) on the table and being able to play without having to spend three hours coming up with rules and scenarios where we would all agree. I also play Beastmen and being able to create an all Minotaur army is great. Don't get me wrong I liked 8th, but I much rather buy figures I like rather than figures I need so my list is legal. AoS allows me and my friends the flexibility to play what we want and not have to worry about points or whether the army is legal or not.

You brought 60 skaven models, I brought a Salamander, a Stegadon, a Skink chief, and 9 Kroxigors. Let's do this!!!

 

KoW all the way for me. Games only take an hour and a half, you dont have to rerank models, the company has its community involved in rules develepment, and the movement phase is super tactical. Hoping that as the game develops each army becomes for unique.

 

That is a definite plus!!

How does it compare the warhammer fantasy in terms of movement tactics?

 

Can you change the poll to allow multiple choices, i.e: check all that apply?

 

I was originally thinking about it, but opted not too because I was interested to see what each person's MAIN game was shaping up to be.

 

I am open to trying several of the options listed. That last option is right out, 9th age is a dim possibility.

I was hoping an 8.x would develop a following. (8.x being a catch-all term for v8 with small fixes here and there aimed at making a good set of rules great. )

 

WAY more tactical. My local group has been talking and we think you should be thinking 3 or 4 turns ahead in the movement phase. There is so much depth. For example if a unit(including single models) moves "at the double"(march move in fantasy) it can only be straight forward. This makes unit positioning for the next turn very important. Thats just one example. My buddies podcast did and overview of the game. If you are curious give it a listen

Trying KoW here, I have already converted one player from my groups, but the others are still waiting for now, saying that maybe they will play 8th edition some more first (but in practive the only games in our groups are the KoW betweem my friend and I)

 

Will very likely continue with 9th and 8th, i think i will play more 8th with newer players as the rules are more well known and established, but to continue playing i really think about some people going to 8th. I have multiple gaming groups, so i think i can find like minded individuals at least somewhere.

 

Really surprised at the lack of love for KoW. Its a fantastic game and the Uncharted Empires book comes out next week(our army is in it).

 

I am supposed to be getting a KoW book. I backed their KS.

 

For now it is still 8th edition around here in Ankara, but moving to 9th pretty soon.

But....i will be moving back to the Netherlands next month, and i am not really sure what direction people are going there.
I will be happy with 8th, 9th, Oldhammer, or Kow.

I will also go back to playing more historical games, as my old gaming club in the NL is more about historical games than warhammer stuff.
The killing of warhammer certainly revived my interest in historical games, and the last couple of months most of my painting time was spent on WW2 russians.

 

I've started to lean towards 9th Age of late. I had to change my vote! 8th edition is my backup now.

 

That is unfortunate. Just curious, is there something specific that your group/meta dislikes about 9th age?
