The Age of Sigmar will be coming up on its first year birthday this summer, and with it, a full points system along with a narrative game play option. This all sounds wonderful and great and I am personally one person who will welcome the options. The playtesting thing is just wonderful, that the podcast crews were brought in to fold to test this game out.

- GW is working with tournament organizers to get the stuff right 
- There will be points 
- There will be unit categories similiar to 40k, Leaders, Battle Line Units, Behemoths and Warmachines (working titles). 
- You build your army similiar to 40k now, so you have Battalions and some kind of FoC, depeneding on the points size of your army 
- Core Rules + FAQ's stay the same. 
- Books are not invalidated 
- All warscrolls get points, even Tombkings/Squattonia 
- Basically it's Unbound, Story Mode and Tournament Mode

- Open play is basically Unbound or Apocalypse, including rules for multi player battles

- Narrative Play will give you campaign rules similiar to FW's Imperial Armour/HH Campaigns

What do you think so far?

Edit : 
- 5 Campaign in the book with a story arc for each. (path to glory included) 
- 22 batte plan (small to very big) 
- Must have book 
- Rules for multiplayer games 
- ppl from the podcast playtested the game. 
- 2000 points = 2.5hours battle.
