Back in March, Games Workshop announced Warhammer Age of Sigmar Fourth Edition. Naturally, the arrival of an update to a beloved tabletop miniatures game includes changes. To help bring new players up to speed, GW has even made a Warhammer Age of Sigmar How To Play video.
The Warhammer Age of Sigmar How To Play video
In an official Warhammer-Community post, Games Workshop highlights what the Warhammer Age of Sigmar How To Play video covers. As expected, the video covers every aspect of an Age of Sigmar match. What you need to play. How to build your army. The structure of a Battle Round and the phases of combat. The list goes on.
The video also highlights the changes being introduced in Warhammer Age of Sigmar Fourth Edition. This includes the more flexible modularity of assembling an army as well as various changes to melee combat, spellcasting, and prayers.
As for the Warhammer Age of Sigmar How To Play video itself, it covers a lot of ground. GW’s own Lewis’ narration is supplemented by clear visuals illustrating rules, abilities, and the logistics of dice rolls.
The video even acts as an extended preview. It shows off several new models and units for the Skaven and Stormcast Eternals armies, providing established fans a glimpse what is in store.
At eight minutes and thirty seconds, the Warhammer Age of Sigmar How To Play video only covers the basics of play. It does not go into further detail on more unique abilities held by certain armies. Neither does it stray into specific edge cases. In that regard, the video ends encouraging players to read the core rulebook to learn more.
Emphasizing this glimpse into further complexity, the post links to ten different articles focusing on other armies in Age of Sigmar.
It showcases notable tactics and units for the Stormcast Eternals, Skaven, Gloomspite Gitz, Nighthaunt, Cities of Sigmar, Kharadon Overlords, Disicples of Tzeentch, Ogor Mawtribes, Flesh-Eater Courts, and the Fyreslayers. An eleventh article on the Idoneth Deepkin is set to release soon.
