Games Workshop is Changing Age of Sigmar Army Building 

I didn't talk about this in the video, but this might make it easier to bring dwarves into my Cities of Sigmar army IF subfaction rules are changing and I can just bring a single dwarf regiment in easily. How cool would that be!

The battle formation change is my favorite thing. I hated how only a handful of actual factions were represented on the tabletop. Tzeentch's uncountable cults all got reduced to Guild of Summoners in a variety of colors.

I have to say I love this new Regiment system! I have some concerns with it, but on the whole, I think this is an *excellent* change. Because it's a very elegant way of solving the "one drop" issue. Because now you're encouraged to include different units through the regiments of each hero, most armies can't fit their whole list into a single regiment without making some *deeply* sub-optimal listbuilding choices. Which I like personally. There's still an element of "racing to the bottom" to keep drops low, but now armies that want to play Hero-Hammer like Nighthaunt can still compete in that space without gimping themselves to force everything into one Battle Regiment. My only major concern comes with auxiliary units. Getting an extra CP every round sounds like a *MASSIVE* advantage, so while I get that GW's intent here was to make an incentive that discouraged people from taking "oops all auxiliaries" as a way of circumventing the listbuilding restrictions that Regiments impose, I worry it might be too string of an incentive to the point we don't see any auxiliaries get taken outside very niche circumstances. And on another point, I don't mind "battle formations" replacing the old "subfactions." I think it's just GW's way of letting people express themselves more in their paint schemes, without the concern of being "lore compliant. " One example might be your Cities, it seems you went for a Hammerhal Aqsha like scheme, which is incongruous to the schemes of every other City with a subfaction in the lore, but with Battle Formations, there is no incongruity, your guys are from your City, and the Battle Formation just reflects how *they* fight, weather that's shooting, cavalry or magic(just to name some existing gameplay incentives in Cities right now).

Great explanation. Thank you

As a new player, I really like the regiment system. I plan on playing as Lumineth and it gives me a really solid and easy to follow collecting order. I also wonder if the regiment system will provide a more balanced play experience at lower point levels. Make an escalation league/ map game easier to play.

I assume Allies will become Regiments of Renown. They said Auxiliary units must be from your faction

These are such easy videos to listen to, and you've got some pretty based takes. Nice work chief

Great video! It’s easier for me to ingest through a presentation like this instead of the article. With absolute deference and respect to how emotional this hobby can be, and how connected we feel to our models and factions, I’m having a really hard time understanding people absolutely losing their minds over the “retired” models and new battle formations. It’s a fun hobby. You can do whatever you like, regardless of whatever James Workshop says. Again, people can feel what they feels. It’s fine and I don’t want to be dismissive. I just don’t get it.

Love your videos!

Heroes can be a regiment by themselves. But being limited to only 5, can a hero be an aux unit? I don't want to have to cut my heroes down from six to five. I'm kind of attached to the little buggers.

my ork army is gone! So I am walking away from the game!
