Where are we at hype-wise for this? Anyone really looking forward to this game?

I love the nod to the original Wfrp handbook cover. The system appears to be neat, and offers an alternative to d20 zero-to-hero (the game protagonists are fantasy superheroes and the power growth is more horizontal). The art looks great and meshes well with the layout.

I'll buy the book once its out.

Somebody, somewhere, sure.

When Daniel Fox attempted to get the license for WFRP he said that GW made it a stipulation that whoever gets that license has to make an Age of Sigmar RPG as well. I assume that it's the same case here, though we don't know that for sure.

Yep. The main game is great.

Been looking forward to the starter set for months now.

Seriously Soulbound is a really good system, and more people should give it a chance.

I'm definately looking forward to it. I paint Age of Sigmar-miniatures and love diving into lore of the worlds I engage with. Age of Sigmar had a difficult / mismanaged launch back in 2015 and one of the things people didn't like about it was the lack of any real lore or background information. This has gradually improved, but an rpg can shed light on things not normally covered in a wargame. I'm gonna buy the game and supplements (especially those rich in lore and art), but it won't be to play. I don't even play D&D or any rpg these days as I don't have a group to play with.

I just picked up the out-of-print Warhammer Quest: Silver Tower game to give me a bunch of new minis to paint and a solo game to play. The minis in that box are all of the guys -- heroes and villains -- on the cover of this RPG box. Might make for an easy crossover.

I'm more curious than hyped. I'm not familiar with Age of Sigmar as a setting, not being able to afford being a minis gamer.

Art looks phenomenal. Generally not too crazy on Age of Sigmar over classic WHFB, but I can see it being a good fit for a sweeping high magic campaign. Tons of possibilities for adventures, and some crazy critters to make classes/races out of. Looks like that Wood Elf Treant (or whatever GW has decided to rebrand all their AoS stuff as, because they got mad they couldn't copyright Imperial Guard and Space Marine...) might even be playable since they show up in all the art for the GM Screen and some of the adventures too- neat!

Kurnoth Hunters are indeed playable — the characters illustrated in the art are the sample characters provided with the Starter Set. And, yes, Age of Sigmar allows us to tell stories that are epic in scope — the characters begin as highly capable heroes and only grow in power from there so you can have a fantastic sense of the perils of the Mortal Realms and the dedication of their defenders.
