We’ve played some pretty huge games, and nearly always play at least 2,000 points (the points equate pretty closely to similar forces in AoS)<br /><br />We’re all WHFB / AoS players so use those armies, some units we’ve had to make ourselves using the points calculator on Rick’s site, once you get the hang of it you can put together units really quickly.<br /><br />Bases are also a non issue as you don’t really have to worry about them in close combat, when a unit is engaged, the entirety of both units fight, so square or round, 25s or 32s, it doesn’t matter.<br /><br />It’s well worth a go for guys with fantasy armies sitting around, especially armies like dwarfs who aren’t necessarily well represented in AoS, as the investment is pretty small, rulebook and order dice and you’re good to go.Rudy Van Hornehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03518485165867217155noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4012284992465362345.post-77814652008981553252020-07-31T09:58:05.781+02:002020-07-31T09:58:05.781+02:00Thanks for the tip.

I did check out Warlord of Erehwon earlier, but its description labels it as a skirmish+ game (40-60 units on the table) without telling me if you can scale up from there. From the site it was a bit hard to tell if I could use my current round (re-)based collection to play. Also I couldn't quite figure out if old GW armies can be proxied into the background. Aside from that it looks quite interesting and its written by Rick Priestly which is an instant plus in my eyes. I'll try to check it out later. I've been meaning to purchase some items for Warlord games for quite a while now anyway.Merijnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11716366155171452512noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4012284992465362345.post-27489479418764411182020-07-31T07:29:38.611+02:002020-07-31T07:29:38.611+02:00Have you looked at Warlords of Erehwon at all?

My gang switched over from AoS and never looked back (no axe to grind with AoS we had a blast, just prefer WoE)<br /><br />It’s setting agnostic but wears its roots on its copyright friendly sleeve (it’s from Rick Priestley). As we nearly always end up playing multiplayer games the die draw mechanic makes it perfect... I sing the game’s praises when ever I can.Rudy Van Hornehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03518485165867217155noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4012284992465362345.post-16441124035512984662020-07-28T10:28:05.772+02:002020-07-28T10:28:05.772+02:00Thanks!

It's a joy to see all the effort put into the hobby come together and I quite agree with you that no one holds a candle to FEC in AoS lore :) Merijnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11716366155171452512noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4012284992465362345.post-24152580873871818062020-07-27T14:14:40.069+02:002020-07-27T14:14:40.069+02:00This is bloody brilliant.

Your gaming mindset very much mirrors my own (in the sense that I'm not all about the tournament math-hammer, but AoS is a fun game and can be used to tell some great stories). Plus FEC are hands down the coolest faction in any game that GW has ever produced!Rosshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00038326334972663855noreply@blogger.com
