Hey! I noticed your channel and I think my futuristic thumbnail services might be just what you need to create some truly captivating visuals. Let's work together to bring your vision to life!

[@aldarbill9472]

Very helpful guide, easy to follow and will help me explain the rules to my youngest son who is very interested in aos. Thank you Lee 👍

[@tabletopskirmishgames]

Glad it was helpful, thanks for watching! Great to get the kids playing, have fun.

[@BigMizzzy]

Just started AoS and this helps immensely. Still working on my slaves to darkness army box and start collecting.

[@tabletopskirmishgames]

Awesome to hear, thanks for watching! Have fun getting your salves to darkness ready for battle.

[@User-g2c7t]

I've bought a house with a massive glass bowl full of wine corks. Imma make my own pieces with creative, lore accurate symbols (or names) on them. Poorhammer rocks. As much as I love the idea of Warhammer

[@TommyRigginsNC]

THANK YOU! This is absolutely one of the best "How to" videos I've ever seen. Me and my buds play lots of miniature games, boardgamey and RPGs, this is a well done teaching video!! PLEASE keep up the good work you do!! Love the props LOL - arrows and x's are just splendid!

[@tabletopskirmishgames]

Appreciate that, thank you!

[@GobrinSansOtherAccount]

As a new player to AoS after 32yrs of 40k(10th has lost me with how bad it is right now). Your work is and will be of help, thankyou

[@tabletopskirmishgames]

Great to hear, thank you for watching!

[@GobrinSansOtherAccount]

@tabletopskirmishgames I played my first game Sunday, the guy I was playing it was also his first game, we had your video playing and other than forgetting unit specail rules, the game took us 4hours, but we had fun learned alot and I can honestly say you 100% helped make it possible 👍

[@Paul-vt3nf]

I'm brand new to AoS and this guide is very useful, thank you, liked and subscribed. I'm Starting a Seraphon army purely because they look so cool.

[@tabletopskirmishgames]

That's great to hear thanks, Paul! They do look cool, especially the new warspawned models.

[@j.rivera1974]

Love this video, I always reference it when a question arrises. I can't wait to see your rendition of 4th edition! Great video!!

i can't thank you enough for this video. my girlfriend is super into Warhammer and especially aos, and I'm trying to get up to speed as quickly as possible. as a long time MTG player I'm familiar with absorbing rules, and the video is the perfect thing for someone like me. tomorrow I'll be buying my first army (not even sure what the right terminology for that is)

Fantastic! I've been hoping you'd release a video like this, and perfect timing for me. I just finished getting my first Age of Sigmar army painted and ready to play.

[@tabletopskirmishgames]

[@tabletopskirmishgames]

What army have you chosen?

[@Tanuvein]

@@tabletopskirmishgames I've gone with the Disciples of Tzeentch. I got the recent Regiment of Renown and the Vanguard box. Right now I have 3 screamers, 3 flamers, 10 Arcanites and 15 Tzaangors painted with a Magister to lead them, and Chaos Spawn for him to mutate people into. I'm really excited to try out the summon demon things, I got one of each demon ready to go. I hope to get a Lord of Change eventually, summoning that into battle will be interesting! I really wish my TSons could summon like the Disciples.

[@tabletopskirmishgames]

Nice! I bet they will be fun to play.

[@BBB_bbb_BBB]

After playing the Total War game I've been interested in getting into Warhammer. This video helped to make it seem less daunting. I like the Skaven, but I think I saw a starter set with two factions so I could practice painting and playing against myself before committing to it.

[@tabletopskirmishgames]

Great to hear! Yes, you can get the starter set with Stormcast versus Kruleboyz, and that's a good way to go. You can also get the core rules for free here: www.warhammer-community.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/bHB57xEZVMKO4T1U.pdf

[@Galahax]

Found your channel and I just wanted to echo here as well, I have a bunch of Sigmar plastic that I never bothered painting… the mostly gold scheme just wasn’t doing it for me. I’m HIGHLY interested in your color tutorial vid. The colors and base contrast with those leaves made me want to paint mine up immediately

[@LordCommanderJoe]

Just found this video! Really helping to understand the rules and mechanics of the game easily m! Recently got into AOS and already loving the lore, models and getting started. Currently choosing between Stormcast or Cities of Sigmar with the new models coming out and reading the Hallowed Ground Novel loving the Witch Hunters I think that’s going to be my faction! Keep up the great work!

[@tabletopskirmishgames]

Witch hunters sound awesome. Good thing with Stormcast is that you can mix with Cities of Sigmar so you could go for both!

[@LordCommanderJoe]

@@tabletopskirmishgames that’s my plan with the current rules 1 in 4 units can be a Stormcast which I will be utilising for sure!

Slowly dipping my toes into AoS - this was really helpful!

[@tabletopskirmishgames]

Hi! What measurement ruler are you using in the video? Would love to get one like that with the alternating clear and opaque inch spacing

[@tabletopskirmishgames]

These are the ones they put in the starter boxes for Warcry and other games. You can find them pretty cheap on Ebay.

[@seileen1234]

Thank you for this tutorial

[@tabletopskirmishgames]

You're welcome, thanks for watching!

[@thomasshea308]

Hey Lee you think you can show me how to play the latest edition of warcry I'm getting all confused with the thousand points and the shields and daggers and quads? Are the cards super necessary some say no, and some say absolutely and I want to check this out I just ordered my first warband

[@tabletopskirmishgames]

Hey Thomas, most of the rules have stayed the same, just a few changes here and there. You don't need the cards as all the fighters cards and abilities are available for free as PDFs on the Warhammer Community site. If you choose the original warbands, they are pretty much a straight up 1000 points for each set so you don't have to worry about putting together a warband and adding up the points; just use all the models from the set. Shield, Dagger, Hammer are the deployment categories. Split your warband up in to three groups as evenly as possible. Then deploy each group as the mission tells you. Singles, Doubles, Triples, and Quads rules are pretty much the same. You can see them in the video series and the free core rules book is also on the community site.

[@gardiananthony5224]

Great tutorial!

[@tabletopskirmishgames]

Thank you, Anthony!

[@GrapeHate]

Lee, how did you create that SCE paint scheme? It's so good, I'm gonna use it.

[@nerdex804]

how did you paint your storm cast? I love what you did! Please tell me you have a video on it?

[@tabletopskirmishgames]

I haven't made the video yet but will be doing one soon. It was black base, then dry brush 3 different shades of blue/grey (dark to light) then a very bright blue (almost white) then Coelia Greenshade. After that I picked out the details with mostly contract paints. Quick and easy, then used Vallejo earth and GreenStuff World leaves to give a bright orange contrast on the base.

[@nerdex804]

@@tabletopskirmishgames I'm going to hit the bell so I get notified when you make it! Thank you for sharing the details!

What card sleeve did you use for your warscroll card?

[@tabletopskirmishgames]

They came with the Dominion box set if you ordered it from a FLGS retailer. GW used to give some cool extras but have cut right back on that. You might find them on Ebay if you want to get hold of some.

It is, but after a few games it does flow nicely. It definitely helps to stick to one army when you are learning to play. I made a mistake in the last edition of 40k to jump armies before I got the rules down, but with AoS I have stuck with Stormcast and it made it much easier.
