It’s a new year, so what better time to start a new army? To help you get started, we’ve got 12 great-value boxed sets available to pre-order today, six each for Warhammer 40,000 and Warhammer Age of Sigmar.

As you can see, there’s quite a range of starter forces available, including Astra Militarum, Seraphon, Necrons and Greenskinz to name but a few. All the models are plastic – brilliant if you’re new to building Citadel miniatures – and all the kits include construction booklets for all the models. Inside, you’ll also find an exclusive datasheet (Warhammer 40,000) or warscroll battalion (Warhammer Age of Sigmar) for using your models on the battlefield.

If you looking for YOUR army’s special new box set, checkout our new release post from last week to showcases ALL of the new bundles and more!

Bio: Virginia restless, miniature painter & cat dad. He blames LEGOs for all this, as there was something about those little-colored blocks that started it all. Spikey Bits sprung from Rob staying motivated to hobby on his backlog of projects, while sharing his knowledge with others during the early blogging era.

LEGO maniac and scale model hobbyist in the 80s turned miniature wargamer and trading card player ever since. He’s played every edition of Warhammer 40k and Warhammer Fantasy (since 5th Edition), but Titans of all sizes will always be his favorite! It’s even rumored that his hobby vault rivals the Solemnance Galleries, containing rulebooks filled with lore from editions long past, ancient packs of black-bordered Magic Cards, and minatures made of pewter and resin.
