“Warlords has deeper more involved gameplay..” Nope. And, its broken. “Aura of Timidity” is like a Napalm strike in Bolt Action… if there was one.. but there isn’t, because.. it would be broken… like “Aura of Timidity”. And taking a wizard is a must.. taking a level 3 wizard is a really really good idea. I have played SAGA for an eon and a fair bit of WoE (with many years of BA and BtGoA). It really boils down to the type of game that will work for you and your mates. WoE, was written for a group of old guys sittin around in their basement sipping beer and getting all nostalgic while they push old poorly sculpted metal models around and roll some dice. It’s very clear that some of the lists got a lot of love, presumably because those are the armies Ricks fellow old guy sippin beer mates had on the shelf from 1983 and wanted to see them on the table again to relive the “glory days”. Other lists.. are half assed. The ‘catch all’ lists are Knights and Beastmen. The lists are broken and not balanced, the spells are broken and not balanced.. which to be fair, is not what its designed to be. So, if you have that kind of ‘old mates with ugly metal models reliving a rose tinted past’ group, then WoE is specifically for you. On the other hand, if you want something with well balanced lists and tournament playtested rules with gameplay that has lots of important decisions to make.. SAGA:AoM is your game.
