Total War Warhammer: Age of Sigmar

[Ser Kezian]

So I’m reading the latest White Dwarf and I was just wondering if CA would do a Total War Warhammer: Age of Sigmar. Would it work? What would be good/bad about it.
Would you rather they attempt a 40K version first?

Is there anyone who would prefer age of sigmar over 40k?

[WhySoSalty]

40k would be EPIC (if done right). AoS would be meh (also if done right). You cant even compare 40k to AoS

[Ser Kezian]

Oh I’m not comparing. I just know a lot if people say 40K wouldn’t work. Me personally, I would love a 40K game over AoS.

[Knightspace]

It wouldn't differ from Fantasy in terms of combat, i don't really see the point in that.

I wouldn't get it anyway, as AoS fluff is a mess.

what is the point tho. isn't it basically the same stuff as warhammer fantasy with new names?

IF I had to pick, I'd rather see some attempt at 40k than AoS.

Don't even hate AoS, actually fair bit from it I like, especially those short horror story collections and few of new factions. But, we've just had 3 fantasy games and Dawn of War is um...yeah, so I mean, again, if I had that godlike power to just pick one or the other, be nice to have a good 40k strategy game with real time battles again, and especially with a total war style campaign reminiscent of Soul Storm's.

That being said, saw was an update to UA, and I'm pretty sure can play the base campaign with mod now, graphics are dated but closest we have for time being.

Not for a while. I think they'll want to go back to Historical for a while, they've been neglecting those fans for a long time.

I don't think so because it has a bunch of different worlds/a multiverse connected by portals. That's fine for what AoS tabletop is doing, a bunch of random battles that don't have little to do with each other, but I don't think that works for Total War. At least in 40k you have space that can be treated like a sea with individual planets serving as provinces or the whole game can take place on a single planet without any problems, but with AoS doesn't really have that, and setting it on only one Realm would be lame. You'ed have to have a bunch of different maps to flip through and I think that'd be complicated and annoying to keep track of. It's hard enough keeping track of 1 large map with hundreds of provinces at times, imagine what would be like having to keep track of eight of them. If AoS had a lore update where the all the realms were smooshed together into a single world again, then I'd say maybe, but as it is now it wouldn't work well.

And there's an AoS Dawn of War clone in the works too.

I mean some of the AoS models look cool. So they could probably make fine video games from it even if the tabletop version is hot garbage (or so my husband claims, I don't play tabletop miniatures). So I have no particular feelings one way or the other. I like fantasy stuff so if its good I don't care which IP its based off of.

Though if they do 40k they had better do Sisters of Battle faction. I like their models alot.

interesting

[faffbot]

i feel like aos would be easier to do and i like it more
unless you made like worlds settlments or reigons i think 40k would be really diffucult to do
but it has massive potentioal

[Ser Kezian]

Interesting takes. I was gutted when they ended Warhammer Fantasy so was so happy to see these sets of games get released.
As to AoS. It’s not my cup of tea. Here’s hoping we get a 40K version. If anyone can do it them CA can.

[jonoliveira12]

It would easily work, but I would never buy it. I hate the Stormcast Eternals, and dislike what they did with Chaos. It all looks like watered down 40K.

SoB are one of those factions everyone likes, but almost no one collects their actual models.
It is a shame, because they are very unique, both in 40K, and in sci-fan in general.

AoS is stupid, not even remotely interested in it
