Qu'on soit d'accord, je n'ai absolument rien contre les Space Marines, j'en ai une jolie armée, mais ça reste des Space Marines et 40k reste 40k. Déjà que GW a sucré tous les Specialist Games qui offraient des possibilités infinies à peu de frais : et oui, 500F de Space Hulk à l'époque et on pouvait jouer 15 ans ; ils se mettent à détruire le jeu le plus emblématique de leur gamme, celui qui les a fait connaître.
Well that's it, I wake up with a hangover. I already barely sleep because of this heat wave, so if the bad news flock when I wake, it's horrible. I read my emails just after waking up and of course the one we have been looking forward to read (or not) from Games Workshop concerning their new baby: the Age of Sigmar. And there is the drama. Or rather, in my opinion, the great schism between 1) the veterans from the old guard who have known the good old fashioned Warhammer that was a F-A-N-T-A-S-Y game and 2) the new generation who will think that there are only Space Marines in the past as well as in the future ...
Let's be clear, I have absolutely nothing against the Space Marines, I have a pretty Salamanders army, but Space Marines remain Space Marines and 40k remains 40k. GW has already cancelled all the Specialist Games that offered endless possibilities without spending too much: in deed, Space Hulk cost 500F at the time and we could play for 15 years; and now they begin to destroy the most iconic games of their entire range, the one that made them famous.
Concernant l'Age of Sigmar :
1) les figurines ressemblent à des Space Marines :
Regarding the Age of Sigmar:
1) the figures look like Space Marines:
Sigmarites = Blood Angels
Khorne = Space Marines du Chaos
2) Les règles que j'ai parcourues tiennent sur 4 pages, franchement, même Space Hulk qui est un jeu simpliste a au moins 20 pages de règles. Je n'ai pas encore testé donc je ne peux pas critiquer la jouabilité, mais bon à ce stade, je suis pas super motivé.
2) The rulebook I read quickly consist only of 4 pages, frankly, even Space Hulk is a simple game and has at least at 20 pages rulebook. I have not tested it so I cannot yet criticize the gameplay, but at this stage, I'm not very motivated.

3) La rumeur se confirme donc bien, socles ronds pour tout le monde. Alors ok, on peut utiliser ses anciennes figurines avec les socles carrés bla bla bla. Mais l'essence même de Warhammer, ce sont des régiments, oui je dis bien régiments, alignés qui s'apprêtent à faire une bataille rangée sur une plaine moyenageuse. Warhammer c'est ça :
3) The rumor is confirmed : round bases for everyone. So ok, we can use our old figures with square bases bla bla bla. But the essence of Warhammer are the regiments, yes I mean regiments lined up, getting ready to start a battle in a medieval plain. This is Warhammer :

Alors si c'est pour nous faire un mix de W40k et du Seigneur des Anneaux... NON MERCI
So if they want to make a mix of W40k and Lord of the Rings ... NO THANKS

Donc c'est ça la V9 tant annoncée ?? Franchement, je suis scandalisé. Et oui, Age of Sigmar n'est pas juste un jeu en plus de Warhammer Fantasy Battle mais est bien amené à remplacer notre jeu adoré, comme en témoigne le site internet : regardez en haut à gauche, vous comprendrez.
So, that's the much announced V9 ?? Frankly, I am shocked. And yes, Age of Sigmar is not just a game in addition to Warhammer Fantasy Battle, but will replace our beloved game, as observed on the website: look at the top left side of the screen, you will understand.

I think this evolution reflects the change of generations. I would never have considered myself a veteran of something, but I'm getting older like everybody else. I'm not saying it was necessarily better before, but before, we took the time to read 150 pages of rules, in English (yes I'm French), perhaps because we had the time ... and there was diversity, more madness in this game, I did not think in the grim darkness of the far future, there would only be Warhammer 40k and its copy ...
Tout à fait d'accord même si j'arrive tard 😊 Martial Heurtier
