New AoS starters sets are here along with the official GW release of the McFarlane 40k action figures– check out the pricing for this week’s pre-orders.
If you remember the Indomitus boxes released after the main box, these AoS starters almost follow the exact same pattern. With how many extra of all the Dominion boxes are out there on store shelves, we don’t expect these to be too heavily allocated.
AoS 3.0 Warrior Starter Set $50
This is the smallest starter, thus making it the cheapest. Perfect for newcomers who want to test out smaller games before committing to the included armies or even to AoS in general.
AoS 3.0 Harbinger Starter Set $99
This version is the middle in size and cost. It might be a good pick if you really like the factions but aren’t too keen on making your own terrain. This brings us the most expensive version…
AoS 3.0 Extremis Starter Set $165
This starter is going to be the most expensive and the biggest difference is the inclusion of the new terrain set for AoS 3.0. If you love the factions, and AoS in general, this is a great option.
Kruleboyz Paint Set $35
This set contains 6 great paints to help you get started on a Kruleboyz or even just Orruk army. Of course, there is also a brush, but you may want to pick up one or two more for the best experience.
Stormcast Paint Set $35
Buy one get one Free! Choose from hundreds of minis now!
Mirroring the Kruleboyz is the Stormcast, with the major difference being this comes with 2 instead of 3 figures, and of course different paint.
AoS 3.0 Paint and Tool Set $45
This set comes with more paint but no models and a clipper and shaving tool. This is ideal if you are also picking up one of the starter boxes as it will get you started on painting them both!
Age of Sigmar Realmscape Expansion Set $90
As the terrain included in the Extremis starter set, this terrain makes for a perfect environment for AoS 3.0 and especially setting the scene for Stormcast vs Kruleboyz. It also does not appear to have the shrine terrain piece that comes in the Extremis version of the starter above.
Getting Started With Warhammer Age of Sigmar $15
As the absolute cheapest entry point, this magazine serves as a great way to dip in your toes and even get your hands on what might be your very first miniatures.
Web Only: Malign Sorcery $65 Penumbral Engine $40 and Forbidden Power $40
These aren’t new, but instead are getting a repackage for the new edition. You can also pick on the Penumbral engine if you missed out on it the previous offering and still want to grab it by itself.
Indomitus Book $16
Next week, Indomitus by Gav Thorpe is available to pre-order in paperback. The first novel set in the most recent edition of Warhammer 40,000, Indomitus sees the Ultramarines faced with a dire choice – will they fight a desperate last stand or doom an entire sector to warn the Imperium of the rise of a new Necron empire?
As the main book covering the happenings of the jump into 9th edition 40k, this is a great book if you are invested in that space as well.
Thunderstrike & Other Stories $8
Meanwhile, in the Age of Sigmar, you can tour the realms in the safe hands of some of Black Library’s finest writers with the anthology Thunderstrike & Other Stories. The perfect introduction to the Mortal Realms and its inhabitants – both good and bad – this book collects works by authors including David Guymer, Gav Thorpe, Darius Hinks, David Annandale, and more.
In line with the AoS starters, this book serves as a good lore point of entry. Filled with a variety of short stories, these are going to be easy to read and won’t require too much time to enjoy some great story points.
We’ve got some fantastic news – the newest collection of Warhammer 40,000 action figures from McFarlane Toys is available to order for our North American customers next Saturday. No pre-order – just head to the website and grab your favourite.
While WHC is showing these off as new orders for next week, you can actually pick them up at Amazon right now! If they run out of stock though, you might still be able to get them via GW’s offering on Saturday
McFarlane Blood Angel Hellblaster
This version comes pre-painted, making it a good option for Blood Angel Fans who just want an awesome figure to display without much hassle or work.

Unlike the BA model, this is in greyscale with no iconography, making it a better option if you want a painting challenge and the freedom of choosing your legion for the model.
McFarlane Adepta Sororitas Battle Sister
Just the Blood Angels model, this comes pre-painted resembling the “Our Martyred Lady” Order.
