Starter Product Guide

Products for new beginners

There are now many great ways for new customers to get started in the hobby. If fact there
are so many it can be confusing for staff to know which to recommend, so here’s a quick
rundown on what’s available.

We have some great game sets that are easily accessible for new customers, including:

  • Warhammer Underworlds Beastgrave
  •  Blood Bowl
  • Warhammer Quest Blackstone Fortress

Our main Warhammer 40,000 and Warhammer Age of Sigmar offer includes a great range of gaming entry products at multiple price points, including:

  • Warhammer 40,000: Dark Imperium, Know no Fear and First Strike
  • Warhammer Age of Sigmar: Soul Wars, Tempest of Souls and Soul Strike

Each of these offers an increasing level of value between the price points

In addition there is a range of painting entry products including:

  • Stormcast Eternals / Nighthaunts + Paint Sets plus the Intercessors / Deathguard + Paint.   Sets: which include miniatures and paints for anyone to have their first go at painting.
  • 40K Essentials Paint Set plus the Warhammer Age of Sigmar Paints and Tools: which are the ideal purchase to go with gaming products.

Low price point places to start:

  • The booklets: Getting Started with Warhammer 40,000 and Getting Started with Age of
    Sigmar, which  show the hobby and backgrounds of Warhammer, and have a miniature on the front!

Not forgetting the miniature game; Middle Earth’s The Lord of the Rings Battle of Pelennor
Fields, a great starting box for those The Lords of the Rings enthusiasts.

When recommending new products for new customers, the complexity of the craft
(modelling/painting) aspect and the game (rules/mechanics) aspects is an important
consideration. This diagram helps you to pick the product you feel most appropriate to your
individual customer’s needs.
