Would you be interested by a warhammer Age of Sigmar at some point?

Ulthuan_Volcano

I don't want it right now, I'd like a game in 40k and a LOTR total war but at some point what if we had a game about Age of Sigmar? The setting is getting better and better over the years and most of the factions are really cool.

What do you think of this?

AoS is an interesting mix of great and terrible miniatures.

I wouldn't be against it, but it needs a good 10 years to sort itself out.

Amonkhet

I'd probably want LOTR, Redwall and Magic the Gathering covered before doing AoS. The lore might be decent by then.

40k I don't see having much appeal beyond being Space Marine and Chaos fanwank.

FerdiadLives

Never. I'd rather have CA and GW come to an agreement to keep expanding Total War: Warhammer 3 world with LL and new races for as long as possible.

Im getting the same vibe as from MAgic the Gathering, high fantasy over top. Part of reason why old Wh fantasy, Tolkien and Witcher words are working for me is some grounding. In AoS, there no such feeling. I can imagine some pub in empire, Gotrek and Felix drinking around, getting on new adventure but try something like that for AoS. Nope. Not working at least for me...It was working as big parts were very common, dirty, ordinary and from that point, all crazy stuff were rising.

EDIT:
Tolkien - you have casual Hobbits, humnas. And from that stories go to weird stuff. Yes, you meet dragons, balrogs, heck even 1vs1 Morgoth but that is not your daily stuff.
Witcher - just imagine where will you most likely meet Geralt - in pub, in some village, hagling about price to kill some local pesky monster. He is not killing vampires or dragons each day.
And the same goes for olf Fantasy Wh. Surely we have Ulthuan, Lustria, Temple cities and Nagash but that is like getting to extreme. Go back to the center...probably some human lands, empire or around Dwarfs. Stuff we can relate...

And that´s the problem with AoS. It is so much over top that people can hardly start to relate. And hardly go from that point onwards. Ask why we have fiery dwarfs that are not dwarfs, underwater elves, elves riding kangoroos..nothing of this is bad in its idea. But i fear main idea for all those to exist is to put trademark on it. That´s the issue. I don´t need trademarked pub and beet to get good story...

Not anytime soon, but yeah

Nop for me. It's a high fantasy !

No, no, no Thank you! I prefer just a bit less fantasy (warhammer fantasy)!

EDIT:Oh and lets not forget the medieval space marines ! Nop thanks I already have 40k space marines

Beelze

I think TWWH - The Old World might come in the future.

TheGuardianOfMetal

No,just not interested in the setting and many designs remind me more of WOW or a MOBA than Warhammer.

Warhammer IS High Fantasy. Low fantasy usually means "set in the real world but with magic", exceptions usually are either a "mythological age of the real world" (LotR, Conan), or a secondary Society (Harry Potter)

What I meant is AOS is higher than warhammer fantasy, and it's too much for me...

WH3 isn’t even out yet....

Age of Sigmar = Worst lore ever. So thanks but no thanks.

hahahahaha, you must've seen little in terms of Fantasy, Sci-Fi etc. Lore.

Leping

Have you an exemple of a lore worst than AOS so ?

Star Gate: Universe

Haven't heard much good about the new timeline Star Trek stuff

And at some point I'll remember stuff i know i successfully banished from my mind for the time being.

Oh. Twilight.

Ramaes

Yes.
The lore and miniatures are good. And it has more interesting races than fantasy.

davedave1124

Just a reminder that WHFB, AoS, GoT, LotRs etc. are all ‘high fantasy’.

Amonkhet

Dragonlance is a better example of a Low Fantasy.

Goatforce

Absolutely, but I think it'll be at least 4th edition before it is ready for that (that would be about 5 years I think) at the speed they are filling out the lore, quite possibly later.

brago90

I have no problem with it. Although we must emphasize that AoS has much less content and characters, so if they do it, CA would have to plan it as a long-term project.

Personally I think that before we will see a new map in Warhammer 3 inspired by Warhammer: The Old World.

At 40k I only like tyranids so I'm not interested.

Lord of the rings might interest me but it would have to be about the first war against sauron. And it depends a lot on how they did it since I'm not a fan of the lord of the rings.

DeadpoolSW

I think it would be cool but as people have said, give it 10 years or so, so it has more time for lore/rosters/characters to develop.

EmeraldThanatos

Yes, because it’s fun, and all the people whining about it have never played nor actually read lore. They’re just still salty about end times

I don't think you can compare the two really yet, AoS doesn't have the same amount of lore and characters that the Old World had.

At some point I think it's inevitable, but like others have said, it still needs some time in the oven, factions like the Gloomspite Gits only have like 1 or 2 possible LL.

The only AOS race that currently could be added to a Total War game without any problem and having room for DLC would be the Stormcast, but that is because GW decided to release their entire army in a very sort time to focus more on the other races.

Also, AOS hasn't reached its final number of races yet, we are still expecting things like Malerion and his shadow elves.

So, give it a time and it will eventually happen.

I have the feeling that we will see a Total War Warhammer: The Old World at some point, maybe as a Saga title instead of a big game, before we see a AOS one.

Sir_Godspeed

AoS is honestly more of a skirmishing game, tbh. I mean, you can have lots of minis, sure, but it's not specifically designed for it, imho.

Amonkhet

AoS would make a perfect Dawn of War RTS.

Don't quote me on this, but I believe that the people at Focus Home Interactive are working in one.

Wasn't that a lane-based game like Regicide I think the name was?

I don't now if the one they recently announced is the same from this chart, but this to me sounds very RTS.

EDIT: After a quick research it's the same, this is the trailer for the game and from the description it smells to me like it would be similar to the Mechanicus game.
