Age of Sigmar, or Let's make it usable...

Sad days... after pretty long history of entertaining us (1983-2015), Warhammer Fantasy Battle is dead, or at least stored under Oldhammer label... We have a new product, which is quite far from being perfect. No points system and lack of any army organization chart make it difficult to use outside of a close friends circle, not even starting to talk tournament play... Simple counting wounds doesn't work, either...
Below, are 2 links to some preliminary (and unofficial, of course) ways of fixing the mentioned problems.  I found them interesting!

Age of Sigmar - Azyr Composition Rules (BOLS Lounge)

Simple point system for the Warscrolls (YT video)

Unofficial errata and game mods from GW store (sic!)

 (Jair Nunez conversion)

Fighting windmills - Change.org petition to GW

From the petition on Change.org: 

"Refocus your business model on the sale of a game and support of a gaming community vice the pure sale of collectible miniatures."

Extracted from last Tyrranid rumors (pre-release rant!)

While the blogsphere is flooded today with new pictures of plastic Tyranid models and bits of rules, ther are two things which worry me:
"Unit Kit: Warriors (Includes parts for Prime, but no wings)". Does it mean no shriekes in the codex? bad decision... and this:
"Removed: Mycetic Spores on the game board are gone". This one may be somehow explained by expected poor sales of such uni-purpose kit, but they still could combine it with some living terrain options.

Collapse of competitive gaming scene?

In the (not so distant) past, in the days following a large WH40K tournament the related blog-sphere were full of excitement, discussions, and list analysis. This year the Nova Open went by and ... practically nothing. No posts, no lists, no discussions. I was surprised, but then I've seen the list of winners... Tau/Eldar, Eldar/Tau, Tau/Tau... and this post (see discussion below the main text):

Very sad. At least, those new miniatures are better and better quality designs... and they do not require a codex for standing in a display cabinet...

Eldar jetbike, a worn out oldie.

Let me fully express my disappointment:

THE LACK OF NEW ELDAR JETBIKE IS AN UTTER FAIL!

Just look at this crappy rider...Is it some ku-klux-klan joke of those Britts, or what?

What about comparison with dark kin? I see the difference, but maybe it's just me? or the paintjob, you say?

And we all remember that test model presented several years ago...Not bad starting point for new plastic set combining regular bikers with Shining Spears elite squad. At least, they should make it available in failcast, as it was prepared bu Goodwin...

I hope, some resin makers will catch opportunity , like it was in the case of Thunderwolves models. Sure, it will be harder to compete with existing official model, but there is much more space for creative imagination in this case... The first attempt already has been made by Chapterhouse, although they modified current GW model instead proposing something original.

 

Do you know about any other jetbike, which isn't of Imperial style (such are many)?
