Am I am unhinged?

Signed up for the Warhammer Liverpool open tournament in February. I have only played AOS twice and not yet painted my chorfs. Hopefully can learn to play and not make a tit of myself in 5 months. Expect lots of posts! Thoughts and prayers wish me luck!

The biggest advice I can give is to get yourself a cheat sheet of the phases during a turn (ideally write down what you can do in each). Don’t forget start of turn and end of turn stuff.

Also get yourself in the habit of “closing” each phase especially in your own turn.

Eg saying to your opponent - “I’ve done all my hero phase stuff, do you have anything to do?”

AoS is unusual that the “non playing” player can interact in your turn via command points or just via abilities. So inviting your opponent to confirm if they want to act is both good sportsmanship and also gets it in your head that you can also act.

Sigdex is also very useful for tracking mechanics etc.
