I want to get into some fantasy wargaming, which one of these is better?
Anonymous No.96490108 >>96494364
Neither. Get into MTG instead.

Do you like units or centerpieces?
If the latter, Sigmar. If the former, Old World.
I personally prefer Old World but I just like having an army of dudes.

You like Herohammer? AoS

Sigmar is built around single mandatory centerpiece models this edition, its not that fun. Old world is a specialist game they'll drop again in two years
There will be a new AOS edition next year or so, id wait for that

Old world unless you want to play a legacy army. But ultimately play the one you can actually get games for.

Honestly I recommend getting into a fantasy miniature agnostic game.
Maybe Dragon Rampant might be nice. You can still use citadel miniatures in that game so it mostly doesn’t matter which you choose.

So first question is, which would you rather play?
Rank and file tussle between two armies or a more skirmish-y fight between two smaller forces?

Right is better if you want to play tabletop games
Left is better if you want to play video games but LARP as a tabletop player

Both are horrible in their own ways

AoS has insanely dumbed down rules that make it pretty boring to do anything

Old World has just insanely cancer army comps that if you're playing with the wrong people you will have 0 fun because all they do is run cavalry and monsters instead of actual armies.

There are dozens of better fantasy wargames. IF you have to stick with GW games due to your local scene being GW-slop only, AoS is better.
Still, you will play whatever your local community is playing anyway. Unless you are the one jump-starting the local fantasy wargaming scene, your preferences don't matter.

Warmaster. The rules are free via Warmaster Revolutions, and the minis are tinier at 10mm if I recall correctly, and will better represent the scale of carnage of battles in the fluff of AoS and ToW on the tabletop.

Warmaste is a game of command and maneuver. Do you go for the certain front charge, or risk moving to hit a flank?
I like the command friction, it's better than just guaranteed movement.

Old world if it has to be gw.
Oathmark, Midgard, Warmaster, etc, if your willing to branch out and play fun games.

I feel like you should be able to tell from even the most surface of level of each, even from just looking at some art and models, which one appeals to you most. They have a very obviously different vibe and focus. And in terms of gameplay again one glance shows a difference of gameplay so huge its probably enough to make a determination off of-one is a rank and file game that looks more like real historical battles, one is a game of blob units seperated into stand alone models like a super unrealistic battle scene in a movie. Whichever one of those sounds like the kind of gameplay you'd like more will probably lead you to make the right decision in light of the rest of the rules.

Personally I think the old world lore and world and look is so absurdly, infinitely better its a night and day difference and I'd always go with that. But if I put myself in the mindset of someone who might like AoS more it would be really easy, at first glance, to tell it appeals to me more.

Depends on what you prefer model wise and rule wise.
Play both at a club or on TTS, they both have advantages and disadvantages over each other.
