Social Distancing Update:
Games Workshop may be closed and not shipping out orders right now, but there are still a few ways to buy the Warhammer kits you need to fuel your hobby!
GW already announced earlier that they wouldn’t be shipping any more products or releasing anything indefinitely. Here in the states, retailers like Miniature Market and Dicehead Games are still shipping orders with the stock they have on hand.
By now, however, their stock may be starting to look a bit dried up. So if you’re searching for some new kits to hobby on, there are still great second-market stores on Amazon you should look at too that are still reasonably priced at 15% off retail for the most part.
Warhammer Start Collecting Box Sets
Start Collectings box sets are a tried and true classic way of jumping into a faction. They’ve got all kinds of boxes still currently up at the time of writing this and you’ll be able to save a little bit vs. buying all of the kits individually.
With a Start Collecting box available for almost every faction in AoS, we’ve got plenty of options to choose from. Be sure to look over the armies that interest you and see if you can save a few $$$ by snagging a Start Collecting.
What Start Collecting would you recommend the most for in-game unit value? Did you jump into AoS with a Start Collecting box?
