I think AOS should not keep initiative and the double turn anymore. The damage output of the current armies is too high now and getting double turned usually means that you will lose too much of your army to continue playing. Perhaps MWG should stick with not using the initiative roll off for the next few battle reports and see if it results in more enjoyable games.

Elite players will often plan for the double turn, it's gives an additional tactical choice. The problem is it can completely kill off casual games for players who don't prepare for it.

@@falconpunch8734 Perhaps the double turn should not be decided by a die roll but should be decided by the player that went first in the previous battle round. If there is tactical value in allowing the double turn, then this would put the choice in the hands of the player that will receive the brunt of the double turn. If not, the players would simply carry on with alternating turns. If GW were to rework initiative to something controlled by the players, I'd wager that very few games would ever see a double turn past battle round 2 since there are very few instances where allowing your opponent to have two consecutive turns is ever a good tactical choice. I'd also argue that the perceived tactical choices created by the possibility of being double turned is simply risk mitigation. It is only carried out because the player starts in a position where they are faced with a chance between a mild reward and a heavy punishment. This imbalance in potential results causes the double turn to be a negative play experience when it happens to a player. And with the increasing damage potential of armies, the ability to capitalize on getting a double turn after being double turned is severely limited since you would have received significant losses to your army.

@@Blaze_Raven I actually kind of like your proposal in the first paragraph, it's a fun alternative. I have to disagree with the third though, with the risk mitigation assessment. It's a more aggressive choice than mitigating risk in my opinion. I think it can leave armies extended sometimes, and casters can sometimes not get off spells that they had the previous turn. A good player will way up the risk before blindly taking a double turn because honestly it can sometimes do more harm than good. The turn is a bigger problem when it comes to the shooting meta, largely because armies can stay away and pepper the opponent with shots and not really suffer a consequence. It all comes down to preference but either way I enjoyed your insight and your alternative.

I agree, the double turn is dumb

Long rant incoming: I am so torn on the AoS turn rules. I think its an attempt to half ass IGYG with squad based activation, and it just does not work. IGYG is easily understood, but tends to lack complete player feedback (other then saving throws and attacking back in CC). Squad based activation is amazing (think titanicus or battletech) but can slow down the game. This IGYG but the chance to switch turn order can be to gimmicky. In the earlier turns it really doesn’t matter - especially if you both plan for it - but a double turn in turn 4 or 5 is devastating - especially when things are already in CC. Nothing feels worse then you in the lead on turn 4, then the other player double turns you and essentially does double damage to your army in quick succession. I think there are really only two ways to play a game that work: IGYG very much like warhammer 40K. This can be modified to work more like Infinity - where it is still IGYG but there is heavy interaction between two players and reactions and such Squad/unit based activation like Titanicus, Dropzone, battletech. I find this to be much, MUCHHHH, more enjoyable as a play experience. I feel there are more tactical decisions that needs to be made, there is more interaction between players, and it just feels enjoyable. That is why when 40K came out with their apoc rules and they “somewhat” approached this type of rule with the idea of detachment activation - it was so much fun to play because it was... well it was squad based activation (also the fact that things did NOT DIE until end of turn was AMAZING - frack you alpha strike armies god that was such a cool rule). Anyway rant over - do you what makes you feel comfortable. I don’t watch you guys for the l33t plays... I watch you guys cause you are hilarious and fun to watch.... ....and to watch Luka make the god of statistics cry every time he plays....

I know its hard to get this early, but i really hope to see mortals of Slaanesh sometime in the future. For all the chaos gods i always preferred mortals over demons. The new models are making me consider starting a mortal Slaanesh even though i was originally waiting for Maggotkin to get an update and hopefully more mortal models.

I love that the witch elves killed the demonettes so hard that they themselves died.

Interesting to see Open Play every now and then I guess.

it’s a shame the Slaanesh army does not contain the new Haedonite units as i think they will make the army play very differently. i understand why you guys rushed this out, but this seems to be short selling the new battletomes. not to mention Knife to the Heart does not really demonstrate object holding and taking which really is the bulk of most scenarios in Age of Sigmar.

I might be nitpicking, but the worship through bloodshed ability does not let you pile in and attack, it says just you can fight or shoot. Has this been changed in the new book?

Completely disagree. I feel the double turn is the single worst design mechanic ever created. The most fun AoS games I've had are ones where no double turn happens. Even if you tactically plan for the double, it is still a giant swing in power based on a single dice roll. Plus, I've seen way more games won on the double turn than on the alpha strike. Most armies can't even alpha strike so their first turn is a nothing turn that then might have to face a double.

well they skipped the doubleturn to show how the armies would work with the new battletomes not to show a normal battlereport.

i think that it's more that people have confused using decimated with devastated since they sound rather similar. and yeah i agree with steve, it is a problem.

Might be less controversial to not say it’s a house rule but an agreement between players that whoever wins the roll is choosing not to take a double turn. That way it doesn’t sound like you are “ignoring a rule”.

So wait, in AoS you can fire at units engaged in close combat? You can fire through large models? What is line of sight in this game?

@Idrabac

basically, if your unit is not behind a wall it can be shoot if it's within range. Shooting can be done in meele but only on your own turn just like the hero phase. Also If your unit is in close combat ( 1" within enemy units) it has to fire into those units. As you can see in the battlerep, shooting twice with this many buffs and range can cost the enemy 500pts in the first round without a melee combat phase and is completely broken. If Luca had gotten the double turn he could have fired 4 times in a row without any lost units on his side.

I agree with you guys. When you play this casualy with friends just agree to disregard the turn roll off rule. It just make things unbalanced.

The problem with the double turn is can cause a gigantic swing in the game based on a single roll-off. I've seen shooting armies erase an entire opponent on a double turn. Nothing the opponent could do about it. Thats not fun and it also doesn't make for a fun to watch game. The other big problem with the double turn is it introduces a potentially very long period of inactivity for one player. The worse experience I had was one time I was playing vs a goblin player who had all bows. It was this massive army of crappy shooting. They got the double turn early and it was literally 2 hours before I got to play again. Thats an extreme example, for sure, but even in fast paced games the double turn creates a fairly long period of time where one player his limited or no interactivity with the game. Personally, I've mostly quit AoS. Like I have loads of armies but I mostly just play 40k now and the leading reason for that is that I find the double turn is utterly toxic to the fun of the game, for me. (I also hate wholly within and how AoS pitched battle profiles work)

question : why in hell do you score points on your own first turn ? seems a bit weird/unfair (in a way)

hit & wound on 3's reroll all 1's & need 5's to save, if you go 1rst how do you lose?

Seems like something you need to have small disposable units deal with until she's at least bracketed a good bit. She's also going to be a guaranteed objective for 2 battle rounds in some scenarios.

@@depop8361 it doesn't say that she cannot be allocated more than 3 wounds just that they are ignored. That's negating to me. All C'tan, ghazghkull, and some bloodthirsters have this rule in 40k and in that game system the Nightbringer bypasses that rule with the same rule Sigvald has. The wording on the shadow queen isn't significantly different. It could probably still use a FAQ for complete certainty but it matches existing precedent.

Trust me, I’ve been playing with her in my army for a few months now, if you can debuff her, she’ll do very little. I lose her pretty early in plenty of games, especially vs shooting and magic heavy armies.

I always get a depression when i see these beautiful armies 😂😭

Just want to add, in latin languages "decimation" have even more sense how u are explaining it becouse de root of the word means ten ("diez" in spanish, "dieci" in italian, "dix" in french, "dez" in portuguese. Funny thing, in spanish at least (my native language) the meaning of decimate (diezmar) is being expanded too, not like total anhilation but anything that cause a high mortality like a war or a plague. But also started meaning ten per cent casualties.

Damn. I thought this had the -new- new models, like glutos oscilion and such.

@MWG Please write in the description when you decide to alter the rules so drastically as to remove the double turn (make it very explicit that its Open Play with house rules)...

After talking to some mates I figured that I was a bit harsh on this comment, so sorry about that, but my point still stands. The only reason a double turn is a feels bad moment is because you lack screens, tactical movement and just move up the board without thinking 2 seconds about it. And I think it would be wonderful if a channel with as big a following as yours would promote getting better at the game, instead of making up your own rules..

Anyway, doesn´t really matter that much. Asume DOK won in turn 2 when they double-turned becouse they ust would smash everything (they even rolled it to see if they would double turned and theygot it). After that point they ere just trying to showcase some aspect of Slaanes army (with little success). It surely was a bad tactic just push everything on turn 1, i think the army would work better if stays a a bit back soaking some damage and trasnforming it en Depravation Points instead of rush combat, specially if the opponent is good at close combat. This said, i don´t think they really ignored much the rules, just wanted to extend the game a bit more or would be a really short video. If you just wanted the result you could stop watching at turn 2, and take the lesson in game how Slaanesh doesn´t work.

Those armies look amazing

So you're just deciding to not play the rules of the game? The priority roll is such a massive part of your strategy in AoS. The point is YOU DON'T KNOW who's going next, which affects every move you make. It isn't just about who actually gets the double turn or not, it's about preparing for it offensively or defensively. It's clear you guys prefer 40k over AoS---but if you're going to bother playing AoS, play by the damn rules.

I mean, I think it’s pretty clear they don’t really like AOS. I feel like it is a bad thing for the game, turns people off from trying certain armies or even the game itself when you have these guys complaining about the game the whole time the camera is running. They don’t seem to understand the importance of screens and I’m not sure why when you decide to not use the double turn you just move up into the DoK kill box. Honestly, without the chance of doubling, I feel like an all combat slaanesh force is really going to struggle. Try them out when you can get some ranged attacks in there or at least some fast moving chaff like hellstriders in groups of 5 to tie up the shooting units and start generating DP.

@@nathansnelbaker3118 Well, MWG has always been more about just sorta "fun" games than tactically advanced games. Even in 40k I frequently have a bivvy of "WTF" moments where they are screening chafe with elite units and whatnot. Though I do agree that they shouldn't be bitching about balance mid game. That said, I think a huge portion of the community is more casual. Warhammer isn't just about competitive tactical performance. If a given army just gets rolled over in a casual environment, that is a failing on GW's side and I feel in a casual environment, the double turn tends to contribute to those sorts of moments, it doesn't prevent it.

So anyways, the hero phase!

That Sandesh are looks so cool 😎

Steve is so funny in this one! bwahahah

I think this is one of the times where the removal of strength and toughness from AoS is bad for the game because it made missile weapons so much more powerful with a flat to hit and wound roll, combine that with the mortal wound capability that it seems more and more missile weapons are getting and it becomes even worse. Anyways, nice hero phases....er I mean game, not an AoS player personally but I do enjoy watching it.
