Age of Sigmar: Skirmish!

Hi everyone!

Today I wanted to take a quick look at the new book from Games Workshop - Age of Sigmar: Skirmish! We were lucky enough to have been sent a copy, which I received a couple of days ago, and we have been hammer and tongs trying to get a nice board together so that we can show a couple of games over the next week. 

First of all, let's take a look at what has been released:

Sigmarite Mausoleum:


This is a cool piece of kit, made up of 2 Garden of Morr sets which retail at £30 each so immediately you are making a saving. The kit is quite flexible and can be used in a large number of ways. One of our authors has 3 of these which you will hopefully see really soon on top of this...

Necropolis Battle Mat:

Again, this is a lovely product with some nice detail without going too over the top. Personnally mats are usually quite hit or miss (not a big fan of the other mats GW has created as there is too much going on) but this one is a big hit for me at a nice price of £50. Looking forward to getting one for the blog!

Let's take a look at the gang sets that have been released:


All of these are great value at £40 and are a great way to start getting into the AoS system without a large outlay for a force. Very cool!

Lastly is the book itself.

Age of Sigmar: Skirmish:


At 41 pages the book is great value for £6, introducing readers to a whole new way to play, campaign system, command abilities, artifacts and spells specific to this style of game as well as 6 battleplans to play over (although it states you can actually modify any AoS battleplans to work too). I will be going into more detail over the next week, including a look at a couple of the scenarios we have played. 



Stay tuned and stay fluffy!

  3. Thanks for the review! Sorta keen on picking up the Ironjaws box and Going Green, but am tempted to use some skellies and a wight lord- is it possible to get a rundown of what each Grand Alliance can recruit?

    1. Hello, I can't list them all as I feel that wouldnt be professional and I don't want to risk GWs ire. I'd there any in particular you would like? As a general rule it is pretty my any unit you would expect. Behemoths look like the only models not included.

  4. Hi can you use dark elf corsairs? I like the idea of scurvy pirates looking for treasure ;)
