Indeed, I think with any game system YMMV. It is just a case of getting out there and playing it once the free Warscrolls are out. Then either adopt the game or stick with your WHFB edition of choice or another system that does suit you.

The Warscroll PDFs are up on the Canadian site too. If you go to a unit page in the store there is a link in the bottom right side to download the warscrolls for that race, or at least there is for Lizardmen.
Also, even though the Lizardmen are listed as fighting against chaos, they all seem to have the "Daemon" keyword for some reason...

In fact, it'll be even more heartbreaking if it plays well but nobody has a clue how to get two equal forces to show it.
It will probably come down to playing a bunch more games, and coming to a 'consensus' with your buddies. I feel confident that this could be done with a bit of trial and error. Heck, I could see a thread here popping up in the future where troops of different factions are compared and what not. A sort of 'community' effort to so to speak.
Pick-up games though? A lot more unpredictable animal, unfortunately.

Looks like Lizard Swarms got good though, auto kill anything on a 6 and heal D3 wounds on a hero with no penalty.

I am all for a simple (fast) rules set - but the AoS one seems unfinished/untested (much like GW's Triumph and Treachery).
Sudden Death is boring, deciding victories on model count alone gives a massive bonus to elite (SM) forces, missile targeting (LOS through other units) needs clarification and so does movement (measure up and down if climbing walls?), no way (apart from Armour Save) to defend oneself in CC, piling in to CC weapon range results in models ending un in a pile, etc.
Also the measuring from the tip of the model combined with no facing and no part of the model being allowed to move more than the Move results in very strange movement. Such as when my Cold One Knights had enemies behind them and had to move+charge backwards into CC (attacking with the tip of their tails) in order to reach the enemy...
Needs some tweaking (and points).

It certainly is possible that we could create some way of balancing this. It's insane that we have to, though. These rules are literally unfinished.

I'm kinda confused with magic and the like...
The Vampire Counts and Tomb Kings PDFs have certain units (skeleton warriors, morghasts, etc.) that say Death Wizards also know the "Summon ___" spell.
Do I have to have a unit of skeletons/morghasts/etc. for them to know that spell, or do they know it automatically?

Sudden death is a bit more nuanced than that but it does still sound rushed - if you're outnumbered at deployment you get to choose a special objective that if you achieve it, you win a major victory. Low model count armies are more likely to have shock troops / strong units that are going to be good at achieving that objective, so it seems likely you'll get it fairly often. It will definitely have an effect on army composition though - I guess you'll want multiple characters so you have some choice over which to make the assassination target, a strong resilient unit you can make the unit target, etc, if you're playing a high model count army. If it's a race to the bottom to avoid giving the other guy the objective then that's interesting in itself, but it's going to be a bit of a pain generally...
Had a look at some warscrolls and I'm pleased to see some flavour of the old army books is retained instead of a flat list of unit cards. Honestly this scroll format is great for me, and I'm starting to get used to the weird fluff, I just wish there were some way of balancing the fether.

US site has the PDF available listed under each unit. So far only the Dark Elf one is broken, it goes to daemons of chaos for some reason.
