First up we’ve the Introductory Set. This set has a unit of 5 Stormcast Everlasting Liberators and 20 Skaven Clanrats. All the pieces within the field is push-fit miniatures as nicely. Moreover, this set additionally has six paints in addition to a brush, too. It additionally has a 48-page softback handbook, six cube, a variety ruler and play mat. It’s mainly every part you’d want for an introduction to the sport.
Warhammer Age of Sigmar: Starter Set
That is the Starter Set and it’s good for 2 gamers to actually get into the sport. It’s bought two playable pressure with the Stormcast Eternals dealing with off in opposition to the Skaven once more. It’s additionally bought two vary finders, 10 cube, a double sided gaming mat, and two guidelines references sheets. Should you and a buddy had been seeking to cut up a field and play or should you simply wished two good beginning forces it is a nice choice to pick-up.
Warhammer Age of Sigmar: Final Starter Set
“The Final Starter set comprises all the important thing elements for leaping into the thrilling new Spearhead recreation mode for Warhammer Age of Sigmar. This can be a quick, enjoyable, and richly tactical expertise that captures the magic of the total recreation in bouts which you can wrap up over lunch.

This set is every part within the Starter Set after which some. Personally, if I had been going to get one of many starter units I’d in all probability simply spring for the Final Starter Set. Principally as a result of this one has the Fireplace & Jade ebook for Spearhead and each of the armies included are Spearhead armies already. Should you’re new or simply getting began Spearhead looks as if the easiest way to begin enjoying and studying the sport.

Which Set Is For You?
This actually is dependent upon how you’re and the place you’re beginning at. Should you’ve bought no interest expertise and no paints, I’d go together with the Introductory set. That can a minimum of introduce you to the world of Age of Sigmar and get you some (very) primary instruments to get going. Should you’ve already bought interest instruments and a few expertise the Starter or the Final units is perhaps extra in your ballpark.
I believe it’s going to come back down to 2 issues: Worth and availability. Should you’re seeking to dive all the best way in and it suits your funds the Final Version is a greater choice than the starter in my view. However that’s largely due to the Spearhead gadgets included.
You can buy the Starter Set, dabble a bit, and the choose to get Fireplace & Jade later. Otherwise you may wish to skip Spearhead altogether and simply begin enjoying the “Superior” guidelines and dive proper into Matched Play. You do you!
Should you’ve already bought a military and it’s not Stormcast Eternals or Skaven (and also you don’t wish to begin both) then actually, you can skip the starter units and simply get the GHB 2024-25 ebook and also you’re set. There’s actually no unsuitable solution to go about this one.
