Age of Sigmar - Core Rules. A short review








I enter this edition because finally GW put points in the army lists, at last, putting order to chaos.

One important thing about this rules that they are FREE.  You can download this rules for free in the games workshop home page. Specifically in the section of Age of Sigmar -> Core Rules.

With only 18 pages, you can start playing the games, is actually a very fast game. If you liked you can add the endless spells rules with this models

Lore. In this pages you will only find the rules. The lore is one of the main thing most criticized by the people. The high fantasy vibe is something very annoying for the lovers of Tolkien Fantasy, the original roots of Warhammer Fantasy. The majority of people who don´t enter AOS is by this point, they said “setting just doesn’t interest me”.

 The Miniatures. If you have models from warhammer fantasy you can play immediately, the main problem is gonna be the balance between the old model rules and the new miniatures from Age of Sigmar.

Tactics. You can be a master tactician, but you can control the power of a RANDOM TURN,  the Random order is an important feature of AoS. It forces you to think ahead and brings an element of chance into play. But sometimes it's absolutely unfair to the players.

Lion Rampant. A short review






Lion Rampant – Osprey Games

Despite not being a specialist in games of  historical nature, this game caught my attention, since it sounded good to be able to handle small games with few miniatures. The main reason that I am looking for this ,is that I want to invest in the game beacuse of the time. Is over for me the occasions when I could stay around 4 hours playing Warhammer Fantasy, now I must better manage my time between family and hobby.

I have little knowledge of this company, when i discovered the game and seeing all the other products I was surprised by the mix range of optionss we have, rules for historical periods a fantasy with Dragon Rampant and Oathmark.

The intention of the creator of the game is that you use the units in a corret way, if  you have  mounted knights, these are played for what they are good for, having mobility on the battlefield and carrying devastating charges.
Accessible to new players. If you are a lover of war games like me, by now the lack of opponents hinders your complete joy as a hobby, teaching someone to learn will not be complicated at all, I think you can have a good time having fun without having to focus at a high level of tactical or competitive complexity.

It is in the activation of units where I consider that the game gains agility and gives greater transcendence to choosing well when deciding to activate an unit. You can see several activations from your opponent, deploys his units, shoot, approaches and makes you a charge devastating, with you merely observing.


In general, the way in which combats and casualties are resolved per unit, seems to me a simple and fast way. Managing the leader of your unit and how it affects the development of the game, seems to me the most complex, and yet it is not so much.

The rules gives the player the option to play with miniatures of different brands.Regarding the miniatures, I find it very attractive that the characters are generic and almost buying any company box like Perry, Fireforge Games, or others, you can arm yourself with units.
