Starter Products

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

 

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

-Warhammer 40,000

-Warhammer Age of Sigmar

-Warhammer Underworlds

-Blood Bowl

-Warhammer Quest

-The Lord of the Rings

-Age of Sigmar: Warcry

-Warhammer 40,000: Kill Team

When recommending new products for new customers, the complexity of the craft (modelling/painting) aspect and the game itself (rules/mechanics), is an important consideration.
