Just like they did with Indomitus, Dominion is being broken down into new starter sets for Age of Sigmar 3.0- check out what you can score!
Warhammer Community just previewed a bunch of new starter sets for the new edition. If you don’t feel like getting the entire big box of minis, these smaller sets are more focused on certain aspects. They did this with Indomitus, and people received them well, so makes sense for them to do it again.
The biggest box of the newest sets also has some of the new Cities of Sigmar terrain, so might be some good value there. Let’s get into it!
4 New Age of Sigmar 3.0 Starter Sets Announced!
And because no one likes to play with sad, grey plastic, we’re also getting three starter paint sets: one each for the Stormcast Eternals and the Kruleboyz, alongside a general set that has all the tools you need to prise your troops off their sprues and apply some colour to get them game-ready.Â
We’ll also take a look at the paint sets if you feel you need more paints than more minis!
Warhammer Age of Sigmar Warrior Starter Set
This box contains everything you need for a good scrap, with 18 miniatures including a mystical Knight-Arcanum and five Vindictors of the Stormcast Eternals Redeemer conclaves, facing off against a cunning Killaboss, his Stab-grot assistant, and 10 loathsome Gutrippaz.Â
On top of that, you get dice, range rulers, a double-sided gaming mat, two manuals, and warscrolls for all the units. With fewer rules to learn, this is a great option for younger Warhammer hobbyists.
While you don’t grab a ton of minis in these, they come with a ton of accessories and are a great way to see if you actually like hobbying on the new minis and an easy way to grab the rules as well. As a reference, the 40k version of this went for $50.
Warhammer Age of Sigmar Harbinger Starter Set
The Harbinger Set comes with 32 push-fit plastic miniatures: 10 Stormcast Eternals including five noble Vindictors and three elite Praetors led by the imposing Lord-Imperatant and his faithful Gryph-hound, arrayed against 10 brutish Gutrippaz and 10 Hobgrot Slittaz under the baleful eye of a Swampcalla Shaman and his unpleasant pot-grot.
On top of that, you get all the stuff you need to launch your own Dawnbringer Crusade: dice, range rulers, a double-sided gaming mat, manuals, warscrolls, rules references, and even cunning cardboard terrain you can fashion out of the underside of the box.
With 32 minis inside this actually grabs you a decent amount of minis, and if you split it with a friend, it’s a fun way to start out a campaign without spending a fortune. As a reference, the 40k version of this went for $99.
Warhammer Age of Sigmar Extremis Starter Set
The Extremis Starter set gives you an awesome start in Warhammer Age of Sigmar. Not only does it contain all the models and extras you get in the Harbinger box, but it also includes the full rules for the game.
Importantly, you also upgrade from a card gaming mat to a double-sided gaming board – and you get five stunning pieces of plastic Citadel scenery, including one nexus syphon, one guardian idol, two domicile shells, and one all-important pile of pillars. In short, it’s everything you need to get started.Â
This one has much more value than the other 2 sets because it actually comes with real terrain. We saw this terrain previewed a while ago, and now you can grab it along with a bunch of new minis! As a reference, the 40k version of this went for $165, which also had terrain inside of it.
Warhammer Age of Sigmar: Paint + Tools Set
This set contains a pair of clippers, a mouldline remover, and a starter brush to get the basics painted. On top of that, you get 13 paints in 12ml pots – including all the essential colours you need to get both forces Battle Ready – as well as a Technical paint to ensure your bases look great. It’s the perfect complement to any of the sets above.
We’re not sure the price on this yet, but if you’re new to the hobby and need paints and tools, this is pretty nice.
Stormcast Eternals Vindictors + Paint Set
If you’re still deciding on whether you want to play Stormcast, or just want a few minis to try your paint scheme on, this could be a decent addition to your paint stash.
Orruk Warclans Gutrippaz + Paint Set
This is essentially the other side of the box above, so if you want to see if you like the new Kruleboyz, this is the way to go!
