Like any reasonable person, I'll drive across the US of A and burn down every GW I see.

Probably start playing again. I gave up in 6th edition because it got too expensive and I disliked the direction the rules were moving. So I have heaps of figures on round bases and would welcome free rules and codexes.

Give it a try, and if I don't like it, then I'll decide.

I've been told it's fun for warhammer, so I figure it deserves a chance.

Continue playing small, 500-point games with whatever rulesets we choose, or doing narrative games with home-brew rules and lopsided points-values, based on events in the campaign.

Or, you know, continue playing Dark Heresy and the other FFG RPGs, which are the best things to happen to the franchise in twenty years.

well, be sad, maybe play 7th with those who were willing. Maybe sell off all my 40k models to focus only on Horus hersy, if HH went AoS as well, probably go to bolt action and bring as many with me as possible.

See if it works better than 40k's current system - if not play the version we already do.....

Laugh, for days!

Listen to others who've played it, and give it a try. From there it depends.

I'd probably drive to gw hq and slap everyone in the building, then try the game

Keep playing 7th edition, try to get behind whoever's popular enough to fix 7th edition into a living rulebook.

Check out other, more balanced games i.e. Warmahordes and X-Wing.

I'd probably continue playing whatever the previous edition was, possibly try to glom on to a fan ruleset. There's always the outside chance that they'll fix AoS, too. I mean theoretically. In the same sense that all the atoms in my body could suddenly decide to jump 5 feet to the left.

I'd probably give it a shot. Depends what the outlook was seeming like. Right now, I'm not planning on buying any more Fantasy miniatures because I can foresee a near future where suddenly all of the older, pre-AoS stuff becomes obsolete and the warscrolls for those units are dropped.

I'd give it a shot. Is AoS really that terrible that this would be bad enough to quit?

I'll probably move over to infinity if after trying the game I don't like it, I will probably play whatever edition exists during that time in spite of it all and use that rule set to host cities of death community campaigns at my local gw hobby centre.

If 40k turned into a skirmish game with essentially no rules? Id quit and sell off all my armies..if they would still have worth considering alot of people would do the same.

Start to play infinity more offten, if am lucky or warmahordes if am less lucky.

what will you do if 40k gets sigmarizationed?

If 40k were in the state that WHFB was when it was sigmarized, I'd try out the new ruleset, decide weather it's fun and if I have any opponents in my area. If both of those turn out true, I'd stay with sigmar 40k. Otherwise I'd stay with 7th edition and wouldn't invest in any miniatures anymore.

I wouldn't call it bad, rather than new, different and very simple. For me, it's been fun and quick to play so far and it revived an otherwise completely dead WHFB community in my area. One of the store clerks told us it's been months since they last sold a whfb box, until the arrival of AoS.

Quit, sell what I can, and get more into Bolt Action and Warzone.

Start playing again. 40k has become to bloated, too slow and too expensive to keep up with rule books and changes. Free rules, a smaller system and faster game. I would go for that. More so if it could be played on a 4x4 table. 6x4 is just too big.

Ignore it.

I've got the 6th edition BRB and my HH books, so i'm set from hereon.

Probably keep playing and avoid Dakka for a few weeks/months.

Free rules are welcome.

The quality of those free rules, using AoS as an example, would not be.

I'd probably just play 5th with some friends. Cheaper anyways, buying old codices second hand and already having the rulebook. Then I'd just tweak and modify the rules to improve it.

I feel that AoS is a joke and not even a finished game. For a company with 30 years of rules writing experience, and all the competition in the market, I'd expect the market leader to produce the highest quality rules.

GW executives are little more than skeletal husks at this point, the carrion lords of tabletop wargames. Only the thousands of dollars sacrificed in their name every day provides then with any sort of sustenance.

I would probably keep playing 7th, perhaps with some houserules here and there, as I'm sure many would, if they don't go back to even earlier editions. Despite the occasional praise I see on these fora (manufactured or otherwise), AoS has been doing terribly in sales. They haven't even managed to sell every copy of the limited edition.

Ah, the good old 100 Guardsmen vs 100 TSons Terminators

Or 16 wraithknight and a 4 man jetseer council.

I actually think that AoS had actual promise and could have been something really good, so if implemented correctly the game could become a lot of fun. What would not be fun is the lack of points and stupid rules that let you instant win through Bell and Fateweaver, or get bonuses for the bigger beard. If they continued that I'd go to 5th. Although I've been told that Tyrannids really sucked back then. *sigh*

Honestly I don't know, aos is awful and I really don't like it, it's not warhammer, I get that, but it's not a game I want to play, if they do the same to 40k... I'm done, I'd even consider a class action suit, e.a was held to account (and several other companies) for bad design and poor, unfinished games, gw is doing exactly the same.
