Come see the hot new Age of Sigmar starter releases for getting into Games Workshop’s newest game on the cheap! Which one is right for you?
If you have been wanting to checkout Age of Sigmar, but were feeling the burn at the register GW has you covered.
This week we have the smaller starter set that features at least $60 in miniatures if you compare them to the other four easy to build kits (far below) that they contain.
The new kits feature newly rendered sprues containing the “easy to build” models from the Age of Sigmar Starter from last year.
Plus the new “mini-starter” comes with some very cool warscroll printouts for tabletop use, plus a mini rulebook for the Age of Sigmar that contains 4 scenarios for play.
Overall I think this is a great product for anyone looking to try out Age of Sigmar on the cheap.
