Games Workshop 60010299006" Warhammer Age of Sigmar Starter Set Game

A good-value way to get into the Age of Sigmar game, I'll review this product on two bases: value for money as a product, and the Age of Sigmar gaming system as a tabletop game.A long-time Games Workshop collector (note, not player), the destruction of the Warhammer world and its replacement with Age of Sigmar was rather distressing for me. It felt like a massive stab-in-the-back to have a world I had invested so much time (and money) arbitrarily destroyed at the drop of the hat, and I avoided Age of Sigmar for a long time. However, after reconnecting with an old friend and picking up the Storm of Sigmar starter set (which I would recommend you try before you take the plunge on this boxed set) Age of Sigmar Storm of Sigmar (13 figures) . We picked our sides and played the mini-campaign, and I loved it. I find the game a lot more fluid and straightforward than Warhammer Fantasy, and I know this will annoy/turn-off some potential players, but for people like me who don't have six hours at a time to spend on a single game, it's a lot of fun and very easy to pick up.In terms of value for money this starter set (now sort-of discontinued) is a great inroad to your Age of Sigmar army (provided that you want to play Khorne or Stormcast that is!) It comes with a good chunk of models and a couple of heroes to get you start. For Stormcast, for instance, you get ten Liberators (the line troops of the stormcast), some heavy support in the form of three Retributors (NB: minimum unit size for these guys is now five models, but if you get Storm of Sigmar first you'll be OK), and some ranged in the lovely angel-like Prosecutor models. You get a nice hero on Dracoth (dragon) and a healer/priest in the Lord-Relictor. This is a great basis to start collecting from (actually much better than the Stormcast 'Start Collecting' box). For Khorne you get a mob of bloodreavers (20), 5 Blood Warriors and 4 heroes which all have ridiculous names like 'Bloodsecrator' (sorry Khorne, but that is a stupid name). In addition you get a couple of range-rulers, some dice, and an introductory book containing a starter campaign and stats for all your new models which is a great way to ease you into using your new models and their abilities - it took me and my friend an afternoon to play the entire thing.In summary, this is a boxed set which is presumably going to become harder to get over time, especially now Blight War is out, but is definitely worth snapping up - particularly if you go halves with a friend and split the armies - as given the price of Warhammer nowadays there is no way you can pick up a ready-made warband like this for £30-£40.

For this price, I could not ask more. This boxset contains some amazing models and I have to say, some of the best I have seen, you are getting real quality. When you open the box, you are greeted by a whole world of plastic! You get two range rulers and a whole load of miniatures from two different factions, 47 in total including plus bases and dice. Putting the models together took me around four hours. Bear in mind that you do not get cutters or glue, both of which are essential. Nor do you get paints or brushes.Anyway, Citadel has kept up their tradition of high quality and considering how much these models would cost individually this box is a great value.This game is fantastic, the miniature in this starter set are splendid and Games Workshop has done something completely original and wonderful, given the game back to the gamer's and actually made it fun. It is easy to pick up and has a tactical element that the 4-page rules do reveal until you actually play the game.Long story short, the game is a lot of fun. I like the rules and I like the models that come in the boxed set. By hobby standards, I think this represents good value for money and is a great way to introduce a new game to a new audience.This box set contains everything you need to begin your adventures in the Age Of Sigmar - you get:1. Forty-seven incredible (47) Citadel miniature, including:One Lord-Celestant, One Lord-Relictor, Three Retributors, Two units of five Liberators, Three Prosecutors, One Mighty Lord of Khorne, One Bloodsecrator, One Bloodstoker, One Khorgorath, Five Blood Warriors, Two units of ten Bloodreavers, totalling 18 Stormcast Eternals and 29 Warriors of Khorne.2. A ninety-six page Warhammer Age of Sigmar book containing:3. All new background information on the realms and factions in the Age of Sigmar;Guides to all the included miniatures - who they are, their place in their army and their abilities, plus pages of incredible showcases;A thrilling play-through narrative, introducing the deep, compelling story behind Warhammer Age of Sigmar;All the rules and Warscrolls for every miniature included in the box.4. As well as this, the box contains:A four-page rules set (this is everything you need to know to begin playing);A pack of twelve dice;Two range rulers;Enough transfers to apply to all of the included Stormcast

The starter set is definitely worth it, even if you aren't necessarily into these two armies. It comes with everything you need to start a game off of the bat. The rules are concise and easy to follow, and the booklet gives a nice feel for the setting and the characters/units involved. While I find putting together the smaller models a bit more fiddly, and have accidentally clipped parts of the models by mistake --when taking them off of the frame-- I have improved as I've gone along. The price on here is equivalent to a single starter set, and it offers more than double the models and some useful extra items.Alongside this, I bought a small table vice for under £10, which really helps with the more fiddly models.You'll also need plastic glue to fit the pieces together and a set of clippers to take the parts off of the frame.Would highly recommend

I was under the impression that the box set was a different one to the one I've been sent ?

ive turned the stormcast eternals into chaos warriors of slannesh ftw its not the rules thats i care about its the models themselves

In 2017 I purchased this set for £60, which was excellent value. At £207 I consider it no longer represents good value for money I'm afraid, although the models are good.

Great kit, speedy delivery, very professional

Very happy.
