What I Am and Am Not Going To Be Doing

So now that I have this underway, what am I going to be doing with it?

Well, firstly, I should note that I'm not going to be buying every little Age of Sigmar product that comes out. While I am going to try to get my hands on atleast one box/blister/book of anything Age of Sigmar that adds value to the game, I'm not getting everything. I won't be looking at t-shirts, new paints, those dice rollers that are coming out. I'm more interested in Age of Sigmar as a game/setting and not as interested in it as a full production line.

I also won't be spending most posts giving paint updates or battle reports. I'm not much of a mini-painter and don't have a lot of time to paint, though I certainly will attempt to do it. I will be playing the game, hopefully with both people wanting to try it out and others that invest in it, and I'll give my opinions on how the game actually runs. But I'm not going to have weekly battle reports, tactic breakdowns, hacks and exploits to the rules, etc.

I will always stress lore and story over math and tactics. As I've said, lore is what draws me to anything first and foremost. When I look at a novel, yes I'll talk about the writing style or how well an author uses characterization and arcs. When a new model comes out I'll look at it's value (both on and off the battlefield) and it's ascetic. But I'll also be looking deeper into the lore. What does that White Dwarf article add to the overall story of the game? Does that new model type fit the lore of previous releases? When I look at the Warscroll of a new unit, I won't just be looking at what the abilities or items do in a gaming sense, but I'll be looking at them as how they'd manifest on the battlefield within the "reality" of the game and how it fits into everything else.

So if deeper lore discussions trumping game mechanics and strategies on the competitive scene is not your cup of tea, this might not be the site for you.
