It’s the house rules for Paul Kelly’s store.
Here’s the rest of his post:
Hey guys thought I’d share our in house rules. As ex 40k players some of us couldn’t (not saying names….Lee) get their head around the fact you could take what ever you want in a game, so I have designed an army organisation chart. This doesn’t apply to formations but we agree in house whether or not the game uses formations.
*notes
“ambush” units are your cavalry, plague drones etc and are capped at 10 models per unit.
*Core – basic troop
*Special- a unit slightly better than your average troop (core unit) eg iron gut, storm vermin, grave guard, elves executioners, blightkings etc.
*Summoning – you can only summon units lost during the game so you can’t exceed the starting wound limit.Decide whether a game has summoning or not (usually if both players can summon)
Other than that all other rules apply.Let me know what you think… Bare in mind this is aimed at ‘friendly games’ (if that exists) and people just starting out.
Pretty neat I dig how it has both structure and remains true to the flair of Age of Sigmar. You can see both the 40k and Fantasy roots in this comp chart for sure.
And yes we’re certainly all about friendly games in these parts. Kudos to another intrepid group of folks trying to bring hobby back, AoS style!
Yes Virginia, there are still friendly games out there.
