  • Figuring out how to choose your first Age of Sigmar army can be a struggle. This ultimate beginners guide shows you how to pick an Age of Sigmar faction, going through all of the Age of Sigmar factions in the game to help you help find the perfect Age of Sigmar army for you!
    There are a lot of amazing Age of Sigmar factions with unique looks and playstyles so figuring out how to pick your first AoS army can get a bit overwhelming. You may often ask yourself which age of sigmar army should I play?
    With Age of Sigmar 4th edition just around the corner it is the perfect time to get started with your first Age of Sigmar army. We go through all of the factions in this ultimate beginners guide giving you an overview of the lore and playstyle of each faction. Plus tips on finding your perfect Age of Sigmar army in 4th edition, but also what to do once you have chosen it!
    Many players find their perfect Age of Sigmar army by a variety of the following things.
    - How the models/army looks. End of the day you'll be building and painting up these models so having something you like makes a big difference.
    - The lore and stories of the faction, possibly a favourite character.
    - The play style of the army, whether this is a shooting army, strong combat army or something in between.
    - The size of the army, whether this a small elite force or prefer a horde of models that cover and overwhelm the board.
    - The cost of an army can make a big difference. You may want to get started with a smaller cheaper army as the hobby can get very expensive.
    - Others pick based on the current power level, which often changes with games workshop balancing regularly I'd advise against this.
    End of the day there is no wrong reason so don't worry! Your enjoyment is all that matters in this amazing game.
    For those who are looking to expand to another Age of Sigmar army then this will also be of help to you!
    Let me know in the comments section below which army you have decided upon, I'd love to know. Also if you have any questions about the forces pop them in the comments section and myself of the amazing community will be able to help you!

    Just a quick update for you all, which happened after the video was finished and uploaded - the Orruk Warclans has been split up so the Kruleboyz and Ironjawz will be separate factions in 4th edition, which actually feels like a great thing for both of them. This way your preferred playstyle will have more options rather than just being a sub faction of a larger one.
    Hope that helps and thanks for watching!

    Its very simple to pick a race in AOS, you only need to ask yourself one question really. Do you want to be Dinosaurs Riding Dinosaurs, Or do you want to be Dinosaur Food?

    • @TheCommandPhase
      @TheCommandPhase  2 месяца назад

      I mean I’m currently building the Seraphon spearhead so they had me sold at Lizards riding dinosaurs! The range refresh was fantastic and honestly it’s tempting to try and find one of the older Christmas battleforce boxes to expand if I can find one.

      But for my guys I decided that sense they might be from different spawning pools, they don't necessarily have to have a complete uniform look, but for thematic coloration I decided Blue will be a major theme on all the minis. (Except the aggradons because I just wanted to paint classic Jurassic Park raptors there)
      So my Sauros warriors are a navy with a lighter blue on their stomach scales and grey spikes.
      My skink are a simple sky blue.
      Kroxigor are a bright blue with cream chests and red spikes, because I am the biggest nerd I based them off the pokemon feraligatr.
      My aggradon riders, and my old blood are green with cream chests.
      And my carnosaur is purple with a blue undercoat and red spikes, and little streaks of blue across his scales.

      Honestly, þe Seraphon never interested me, and I never understood why. I love riding dinosaurs, and I _love_ Aztec culture and design, so why don’t I like þe Aztecs riding dinosaurs?
      I þink I finally figured it out. For one, þe Seraphon feel very one-note in þeir faction, wiþ not a lot of variety when it comes to characters. It’s þe same reason I don’t much care for þe Necrons, I believe. Þey hate þe forces of Chaos, and þey worship þe Old Ones, but what else?
      To quote þe Swan Princess, “What else _is_ there?”
      Þe oþer issue I have is, paradoxically, þe lizards riding dinosaurs.
      Dinosaur people? Awesome.
      Dinosaur steeds? Even more awesome
      But having dinosaur men _riding_ dinosaur steeds? I dunno, it feels excessive. Like having a satyr riding a goat; it just feels weird.

    My picks:
    Grand Alliance Order: Kharadron Overlords
    Grand Alliance Chaos: Maggotkin of Nurlge
    Grand Alliance Death: Ossiarch Bonereapers
    Grand Alliance Destruction: Gloomspite Gitz
    As much as I would really want to have my first army as a death army, I dont know if i could give up picking kharadron overlords first, i mean, steampunk dwarfs in airships! God damn, what a combo, what an amazing looking army, but then again, my heart will always be with undead and death related armies.

    • @TheCommandPhase
      @TheCommandPhase  Месяц назад

      I mean those Kharadron do look amazing! You could always grab a spearhead box of the Kharadrom and Bonereapers to get into the spearhead game format and then build up whichever you prefer for full AoS from that while still having a force to play Spearhead.

  • @loopgru
    @loopgru 2 месяца назад +10

    One correction: While Khorne looks like a Timmy unga bunga army on the tin, on the table it's actually one of the fiddliest, with lots of techy shenanigans from blood tithe and a lot of relatively fragile units as the core of the army. We haven't seen what it will be like in 4th yet, so it's hard to say for sure, but I would be surprised if they wound up being ironjawz but red.

      Fyreslayers are a really cool force and I did pick up their vanguard box while making this video because of my lack of self control… The warcry warband is one I’ve got my my eye on as those sculpts are fantastic! What is the second faction you’re thinking of going for?

    are you going to make a Video with all factions, how they play, waht is the gameplan , how is the gameplay overall, is it just dice manipulation or is there something more to it? because theese are for many people one of the main reasons to pick one army, besides style, coolnes and lore :D

      I totally get the gameplay being a really big aspect of why someone picks a faction and when the game releases and the battletomes come out, I do plan to do more content on each of the factions, spearhead for sure and age of sigmar in general.

      So the closest would be Cities of Sigmar using more of the freeguild cavaliers and marshals for the majority of your army. Else if you wanted a chaotic theme, then slaves to darkness with a Varanguard and Chaos Knights heavy list gives you the “bad guy” knights army.
      Hope that is somewhat close in the age of Sigmar space to what Bretonians would have been for Old World.

    What is an easy army for a new player to learn with?

    • @TheCommandPhase
      @TheCommandPhase  Месяц назад

      So the typical answers would be something like Stormcast for being a Jack of all trades type army that have options for all different playstyles should you wish, plus being in the starter set easy to get hold of cheaply on the secondary market.
      Ironjawz are another nice option for being a very heavy melee force that’s very much run and fight. Or nighthaunt with ignoring rend and having ward saves making them pretty resilient.
      But to be honest, the best army is the one you think looks the coolest and love the models of. The rules of the game and army you’ll pick up as you go, plus if the army is one you’re excited by, you’ll be more determined to learn the rules for them.
      Best advice would be to grab a spearhead box of the faction you like the most. Build, paint and play some games with that. The format is perfect to learn the rules of the game and get a feel for what your army does in a quick game style which you can then expand upon if you enjoy them.

      @TheCommandPhase my wife already got the Seraphons (which are absolutely great) and I've been mulling over whether to pick Skaven, Deepkin or Daughters of Khaine. I believe I will start off with the Deepkin though as the Skaven will probably be getting a few more model upgrades and additions after 4th launched.

    • @TheCommandPhase
      @TheCommandPhase  2 месяца назад

      Your wife has great taste - love the Seraphon!
      100% skaven will be getting a rather sizable range refresh, which I'm very excited for. That Skaventide box can't come soon enough (although I've got 4 spearheads still to build 😅)
      Great choice on the deepkin - after reading up on the lore properly, that was one of the spearhead boxes I had to grab. Plus the playstyle looks really fun and the aquatic model range looks awesome. Whichever you choose I hope you have great fun!

    Slaanesh main who started in 3rd edition here: Please don't start with Slaanesh. Their models are beautiful (if fragile), but while they have excellent mobility, they also have very poor defense until they can get some of their early-game buffs going, which in 3rd Edition was often luck-based (if you couldn't get many Depravity points, you're not getting that army-wide -1 penalty for enemies to hit you).

      So we haven’t fully seen the rules for 4th yet, I’m sure they’ll be released for free in the next week or two. They’re a faction that don’t have many models and are pretty resilient so allow you to learn the rules and focus on that easier than some larger armies, but each model is really important so if you do end up taking casualties you’ll feel it more than others. That being said, if you like the look of the models and idea of this army then go for it!
