Getting Started Age of Sigmar

[@187BulletProof1]

A very good video including a bit of everything a new player might want to know: an overview of the game, where to go to find fellow players, a dip into the WH lore, basic faction and rules overview and more. Well done!

Like your stuff! Just finished a year long Army deployment where I started painting AoS figures almost every night. Painted up tons of WarCry bands and I’m just finishing a full Khorne Army for AoS. A request: How about putting out short, 15 min max, videos about each army, focused on what to look out for if your army is going to face them?

[@AoSCoach]

Congrats on what sounds like a successful deployment. A year is massive. Thanks for the request, I’ve toyed with the idea you’ve suggested for a little now… I’m going to test the idea in June but it might need to be something I tackle post AoS 3

[@horuslupercal9936]

I'm a 40k player since 1987. Never tried Warhammer. I have a 30k army I've been working on but decided to go on hiatus until the 2.0 Horus Heresy rules come out. That said I've picked up the AoS rules and am willing to give them a try for the first time. Thanks for your post. It's all very intimidating right now.

[@AoSCoach]

Welcome to AoS Horus. Hopefully it becomes less intimidating because it's just a game... have fun, roll dice, and have a laugh.

[@theidrir155]

My buddy introduced me to warhammer through total war, and I have been living learning about all the rich lore. I recently decided to look into AoS to further delve into the world. I got my total war friend to join me in starting to build up AoS armies, I have been reading the new gen 3 rules pdf, and been reading my armies battletome, I love videos like this to help organize all the details for new comers! Keep it up!

[@AoSCoach]

Welcome to Warhammer and Age of Sigmar. I'll be revisting a lot of these topics and more with 3rd edition so stay tuned

Great video. I used to manage a game store and I had to become an expert at helping new players figure out there introductions to the game. I always started with asking them which army looked prettiest to them. After that I would ask how they liked to play games. i.e., super aggressive, tactically, reactive. After I had them down to an army choice always made them the same deal, come back with the starting box painted and I will give them the army book. When it worked it worked beautifully.

[@AoSCoach]

That’s perfect. The visual aspect is usually what brings people to any game rather than the rules

[@bg9994]

[@adamsjourney98]

Just subbed to your channel man. I’ve been stationed out in Japan for about 5 years now and I’ve really been missing out on the Warhammer community. There’s a miniscule number of Japanese players and I can’t speak Japanese well enough to play with them. It’s been a struggle but getting to watch videos is pretty much the only thing that keeps me looking forward to coming back to the States and playing, so thanks for the great videos!

[@AoSCoach]

Search for Stuart Irongutsman on KZbin... he has a growing AoS channel and from my understanding is an Aussie based in Japan. He might be able to introduce you to more of the community.

Would really appreciate a video from a horde player like yourself going over the horde army play style; it’s unique drawbacks, positives and mechanics. Also why it may not be beginner friendly and also how it’s fundamentally a different experience from playing other army archetypes. Love your content, keep it up 👍

[@AoSCoach]

Thanks Mike… lets pause this for a few months til the new GHB. It may be less restrictive…. But i like the idea. Remind me once GHB drops.

[@god1aj]

I love total warhammer and once I get settled into my house I was thinking about starting this in my spare time.. would I be able to repaint an army? Because I’d hate to spend 80 bucks and then do a poor job of painting

[@AoSCoach]

You can totally repaint an army. There are some good videos on KZbin about 'stripping' your miniatutes with simple household products. Painting over someone elses paint is fine but you start to lose detail as you add more layers of paint

[@V081WLBlue]

What a stupid fekking question! Can you paint!!!

[@basilisbling8737]

No questions are stupid.your statement is bold

[@PyrrhusBrin]

I know this was a year ago but a good way to strip paint is using simple green or LA's totally awesome.

Hey AOS Coach! I am in NZ and I finally decided to start an Ossiarch Bonereapers army. I watched this video and now I want the second one in the series.

Very good intro to AoS. Maybe I am being not picky but you left out the Beasts of Chaos, who were in the Mortals Realms long before Sigmar came along. Beware of drawing the attention of the Herds!!

[@GDPanda69]

Really great stuff here, been working on my first army for about a year now (so many rasps to paint in NH...)! Was curious why you had hesitation about using casino dice to play the game as from the research I've done, they seem to be the most fair, just can be tricky to roll that way, and expensive.

[@AoSCoach]

From memory that might have been a joke about casino dice. From my experience they are much higher in cost and the benefits probably don't outweigh the cost if everyone is not using them.

[@Ironfrenzy217]

Age of Sigmar? In your area? It's more likely than you think

[@Basil_Ghothickovitch]

Hello! One thing I've been trying to figure out for a while now is why do modern Age of Sigmar sets have almost no full command groups in units? Musicians and Standard Bearers. For a completely incomprehensible reason for me, there is rarely a Banner in new sets. And almost never a musical instrument. So hard to add a couple of bits? Most offensively, the fb-fans themselves have never fully appreciated this feature. Very rarely have I seen command groups on the table. Because usually a banner bearer / musician cost aditional 10 points - the price of 2-3 ordinary models.

[@AoSCoach]

It's a good question... I'm from the old school like you where I had a Battle Standard Bearer and units had the command group. Plenty of units do have them but many don't. I can't tell you why

[@eldenwarden9673]

[@ilovewarhammer6668]

Funny I’ve noticed NO one mention objective markers and there literally one of those main things you need to start, sure your can draw them or use paper but even then mentioning you need them would be good if you ever do an update something to think about

[@luminethmage9361]

Very informative! The only criticism I have that you left out some armies which isn’t great for a beginner video. Would have been better to introduce them all, or if that’s too long, just point them to other videos where that’s done.

[@AoSCoach]

Fair criticism and if that’s the worst you got, I’m feeling alright 😊. The armies were only aimed to be a sample but I appreciate what you’re saying

[@MrUnreal9111]

I want to begin an AoS army as a warhammer player but it is so hard to come by some lists I would like too work from - nobody (alt least me) wants to buy 400 dollars of cool models only to find out they are garbage rule wise. I don't want to "net- deck" competitive lists but have them as an inspiration.

[@ExileDCC]

There are quite a few faction focuses that Coach has done with some great guests. You can always check some out if there’s a specific faction that appeals to you. That said the rule of cool is real. Chaos Warriors aren’t the best but I love the models so I paint them.

[@MrUnreal9111]

sure but when it comes to things like blades of khorne I would like to play just pure mortal lists because I like the lore behind it and coach has had only some demon khorne players etc.
