I'm nabbing it, I'm really excited.

I cant afford it atm but perhaps down the line. I am definitely intrigued by it

Been wondering about rebasing my lizards, I wouldn't mind using the warmachine style bases but they only really come in 3 sizes... Not enough variety :/

You can get any size base you need from Litko Aero.

I like that rounded beveled edge for the warmachine bases, and plastic. I'll probably go with Proxie bases since they have tons of different sizes from 15mm up to 120, just no big oval ones but they have big circles that should be just as good. Plus Ken is good people.

I Actually already got one because of where I work! It's real in person and highly recommend it to anyone.

GW picked a hell of a weekend to release this. Big thunderstorms here in the UK right now lol. Lots of lightning...

I have preordered a copy at GW Stockholm. I do like the Ethernals as they will be perfect after headswaps with hooded DA-heads as not-Diablo III Angels...

Secondly, My lil' Bro and my stepchildren are more likely to play with these rules than the forever-flipping-in-the-BRB WHFB rules.

Needs only some points/restrictions or a campaign and we will game as never before!

I think you missed the point in this thread's title. He was asking who's buying it as in... who is interested in it. Not whether you are interested or not.

I myself will be buying it - the rules looks pretty nice for a quick, furious game (especially when the sides are more or less balanced like in starter set rather than making up armies by ourselves) that I can enjoy with a friend. Also those khornate miniatures are just simply fantastic while the sigmarines are growing on me after I saw their bowmen.

Worth noting - they're almost the size of an ogre - pretty much true scale space marines.

bought it already (preorder) its great value for money and until I get my themed army ready it always nice to have alternative options, also BITZ

I'm going to pick up the box and all. Not to crazy about AoS and the loss of WHFB, but I'm not big on big drastic changes like this. Still, it looks interesting and sound interesting once things are ironed out.

I've been pretty upset with the whole concept of AoS, but on the positive side, I am hoping that they come out with some cool new elves miniatures. I'd definitely buy some of those just to paint up and maybe add to the mixed model army I'll be playing Kings of War with (I'm not trying to be snarky with that last sentence).

Nah, no interest in Age of Sigmar...I will continue to play real Warhammer...

Bought one for myself, one for the club at the school where I work, and have a free one for the shop I co-own.

After playing with the new rules all day on Saturday I'm hooked.

That good then?

Guys, please stick to positive responses as the thread title requests.

Thank you.

In my opinion its really good, not perfect by any means (that's for discussion elsewhere), but viewing it as a totally new game, not a new edition of Warhammer I'm very pleased. I'm looking forward to playing it plenty more.

Preordered on Sat, along with the novel.. mostly for my two boys initially, as neither of the starting forces interest me. Waiting to see how some of the other new factions will look.. over the next year -ish.

The models in the starter set really caught my eye. If I don't find the new rules to be to my liking, I'll probably just convert it all for 40k once I get it.

I think at some point in the future, when the Sigmarines have a full model range, I'll probably buy 3-4 and trade away all but 1 set of Khorne for more Sigmarines. Just not right now

I'll probably get some ebay Eternals, the mounted one is a beautiful sculpt, elegant, dynamic, and powerful all at once.

Probably just going to download the free army dexes and rules since I have an orc, chaos warrior and khorne demon army ready to go.
Watched some batreps, loving the new system!

I was more into the Chaos in concept, but after seeing the pics the Sigmar bots are the faction of choice. The Chaos models look like something I could warm-up to over time, with some replacement heads sooner.

The main thing that's poking me is the 'All old models are going away'. I can't believe GW would trash the Mortis Engine, Nagash and all the recent kits that they just popped out. I have a feeling they'll hang around another 5-10 years. I'm thrilled at the prospect GW will trash most of the older infantry type kits, b/c most of the older ones look terrible or just bland to me. The orc boys are one of the worst kits, shoulda dumped them in a pit long ago.

Chaos warriors and ogres all look the same to me, bland and repeating with minor details between the models. Their art looks better than the bland models, coupled with the lack of Chosen and detail options between the Dark Gods. So while I'm currently unimpressed with the Chaos, I'm expecting the Nurgle and Tzeentch to wow me later.

I'm one of the likes models and doesn't really care about the game people. I prefer D&D

I'm not buying anything yet, but I do enjoy the game.

In the short term, I'm not buying any fantasy models from GW unless I can use them in KoW also. I will use my existing models to enjoy the AoS ruleset to play games with my friends.

In the long term, I'm waiting for GW to update the Aelfs, Seraphon, Skaven, or Red Slayers (if they are chaos dwarves). I will likely start a small force of whichever of those comes first.

This is the best thing ever to happen to Fantasy to me! I love it! I have an Order army and a Destruction army already. I am starting a Death army too (already building new units) and I'm going to buy loads more characters for my Order army.

Oh yeah! :-D

I pre-ordered the box today. I'm simply in love with the models.

I don't know about the game yet, at least in its current form. I am looking forward to scenarios released by GW and other people online (maybe even myself) to help with some balance and structure. I think that will help with some of the balance issues people are having and make the game much more enjoyable!

I pre ordered two boxes. At £52.50 each I couldnt say no really especially after the misses who has zero interest in wargames usually has expressed a bucket load of interest in this. So its a win win for me. I also like the chaos models and the sigmarites are starting to grow on me but she has claimed them

I will be buying it for sure, Im mooching around trying to find someone who wants the Chaos side of the box !

Already play KOW, and have a bunch for 40k but never play because I hate the rules and i cant remember all of them. Pre ordered AOS as the rules look amazing. Just like KOW, a game where I can use awesome minis and not have to memorize a 150 page rulebook. A game where I can bring it to any of my friends and teach them in 5 minutes and we are having fun. A lot of people hate the silly rules, but I love them. These "games" are meant to be fun, and I think with some beer and good food, we will have plenty of great gaming hours in my future with this game.

After seeing us play a game (with old random Fantasy models), my wife is considering buying a box, just for the Sigmarite half. She's only quasi interested in the game, but likes the models in WD75 (and my painted Stormcast, hehe) a lot.

She was really funny, asked me if I really wanted the Sigmarites in my box -- she could take those, and I could have the Chaos models. Yeaaaahhhhh, that makes sense.

Of course, what this ACTUALLY means is that I'll end up buying two boxes and giving her the Sigmarite half of one box, LOL.
