The initial release is notable for having included many absurd rules such as: Summoning new units used the same mechanics as spellcasting and required the dedication of reinforcement points for each summonable unit. If one side started the game with one-third more models than the other, the smaller side could choose a "sudden death" win condition for itself. The initial release of AoS did not include point values for individual units-these were added later-and instead imbalance was to be mitigated by number of models. The first edition of Age of Sigmar in 2015 replaced Warhammer Fantasy Battle. Due to this, the game contains many of the same characters, themes, and models as its predecessor. Player's armies fight with medieval-era weaponry and cast magical spells, and the warriors are a mixture of humans and fantasy creatures such as elves, dwarves, and orks.Īge of Sigmar is the spiritual successor to the discontinued game Warhammer (specifically Warhammer Fantasy Battle), after the setting was discontinued in 2015. Whereas some wargames recreate historical warfare, Age of Sigmar has a fantasy theme heavily inspired by the fiction of J.

Besides the game itself, a large part of Age of Sigmar is dedicated to the hobby of collecting, assembling and painting the miniature figurines from the game. Players take turns taking a range of actions with their models: moving, charging, shooting ranged weapons, fighting, and casting magical spells the outcomes of which are generally determined by dice rolls. The playing area is often decorated with models and materials representing buildings and terrain. Games are typically played on a relatively flat surface such as a dining table, bespoke gaming table, or an area of floor. Warhammer Age of Sigmar is a miniature wargame produced by Games Workshop that simulates battles between armies by using miniature figurines.
