AOS Escalation – not an expansion, the Nerd Rage has escalated!

To me this takes nerd rage to a whole new level!

Now I get some people like and dislike AOS, people like and dislike a whole host of things but this just seems overkill!

Now as a disclaimer here I must state that its fantasy so not overly interested either way as never played fantasy, but this "individual" really is over reacting. Just think of all the wasted money there he has ploughed in to that army and now he cant play 8th ed or similar!

This comes after tales of people flipping out at GWHQ and throwing over people game tables over in protest at AOS, to me this just shows how stupid the gaming community is being and not giving AOS a chance, its not fully out and its not a week old. Importantly and this is what a lot of gamer are missing is its not like you cant play your old editions either! Your friends and local clubs will still play 6th, 7th and 8th ed, and I know of at least 3 GW stores where they wont stop you playing them either so I just don't get it!

Please don't let this descend in to AOS bashing, I am more interested in your views on his reaction!

Goodbye, hundreds of dollars of precious plastic!

Welp, perhaps it was inevitable.

Many gamers get angry about changes to games they love, but YouTuber Death, Holy Death has taken that rage to an extreme in protest of the cancellation of Warhammer Fantasy Battle and its subsequent replacement with the rebooted game Warhammer Age of Sigmar. See, Age of Sigmar has significantly different rules from its predecessor - some of which are admittedly a bit silly. This man is, perhaps understandably, furious about the changes. To that end he has burned his Warhammer army to a raucous death metal track, a collection that, eyeballing it, was likely worth upwards of $900 USD at retail price. Not counting the hours spent assembling and painting those miniatures which were assembled and painted.



In his pre-pyre rant, Death, Holy Death admits that he's not taking the changes well, unleashing a litany of angry insults against game publisher Games Workshop for creating the game instead of a new edition of Warhammer Fantasy Battle. He also takes the time to briefly outline his issues with the new rules. I don't particularly recommend the rant - it's profanity laden, offensive, and not safe for work.

Either way, if you want to watch the horror unfold, here's the video bookmarked where the burning starts:



Curious about the rules that could inspire such fury? We've highlighted a few of the silliest new rules we could find here.
